Hey rottadmin... Out of curiosity, what is up with the popups on the forums? I think It has something to do with the ads at the top of the page, but I am not sure. An update would be nice... Thanks!

Hey dopefish! I truly have no idea what youre talking about. I'm not getting any popups when I log on. Surprised Maybe it's because i have a popup blocker. Are the popups ads? I've always hated those. let me know.

Yes, popup ads. =\

Again, I think its the advertising on the site (Not the popups, the ad just below the buttons below the "phpbb" logo) they probably are running scripts to launch popups, could you change that so popups don't appear?

Hmm, weird. If i could see the popups appearing when logging on to the rott board i certainly would. But i dont see any popups when i signon. I have disabled my popup blocker and im not getting any popups here. Only the banner ad below the phpbb logo. Confused Do you know if other users are getting popups too?

ok, i see what you mean now. An annoying popup appeared when i logged on today. It appeared with the popup window of new messages notification, probably to cover it. Very stupid. Damn, im annoyed. We might have to change board providers. Im seeing that i cant add a custom map for the boards, only the crappy ones provided. This provider doesnt give any flexibility.

Yea, you were right dopefish, the popups appear no matter what. Stupid fucks, the annoying banner ad is not enough for them, they have to add popups now. I would suggest everyone visiting this site to use a popup blocker. The easiest way is to have your browser filter out the popups for you. I use mozilla and its popup blocker worked so well, i didnt even know there were popups until you mentioned them. Smile

edit. Nope, i was wrong, this popup managed to show up despite the popup blocker being in place. We'll probably have to switch providers then. I've been getting dissapointed with this host's servers lately. no customization at all, just their shit default options. Does anyone have suggestions?

This is what happens when I "Show all windows within program" In Safari.



Safari Has a popup blocker too, and that was after visiting a few threads then this. Not good.

Yea, Im getting them too now. Stupid bizhat, that annoying banner ad is not enough for them, they have to put popups now. I would suggest using a 3rd party popup blocker, or maybe firefox's popup blocker. Theres an option for removing the banner ad, and i hope the popup too, which is paying them 10$. Should I do that, or tell them to f*** off?
