Richard · « **Reply #1 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:01:56 PM »

Not your computer. I'm working on making this less annoying

In the mean-time consider: donating to get rid of ads.

It is still happening?

Brad the Brit · « **Reply #4 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:18:28 PM »

Richard · « **Reply #5 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:19:14 PM »

What browser are you using?

Brad the Brit · « **Reply #6 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:21:51 PM »

The ever trust worthy Internet Explorer.

PS... Could you at least change it from party poker?

Richard · « **Reply #7 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:25:14 PM »

It definitely shouldn't be coming up now.

If it does, completely close the browser and open it again.

Brad the Brit · « **Reply #8 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:32:25 PM »

its not...

thank you King Richard

I've never gotten a pop-up window, nor a complete screen change.

I only use IE for RAF.

Hahaha, "money leech".

I'm going to be donating in 15 days after I get paid again, guaranteed!

DinosaurNothlit · « **Reply #10 on:** October 16, 2009, 03:17:56 PM »

Yeah, I'm now getting the full-screen advert, too. It's really, really annoying, because it asks me "Do you want to navigate away from this page?", I click "No," and then it does anyway! And proceeds to say "Are you sure? I have a surprise for you!" which is not only annoying but also really, really creepy.

Is something wrong with RAF? Are we getting viruses or something?

BTW, I tried fully closing down the browser and opening it again. No luck. And I know it isn't my computer, because I've gotten this problem on two separate computers.

Maybe rich is now in league with some unsavory characters.

Richard · « **Reply #12 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:13:18 PM »

No viruses... no unsavory characters... just ads that aren't supposed to be there appearing.

Should be resolved again.

Darth Revan · « **Reply #13 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:15:46 PM »

That's odd. You sure you're not in with the advertisment Mafia?

16 more days and I won't have to worry about it anywho!

Brad the Brit · « **Reply #14 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:22:03 PM »

Brad has just set up a paypal acount..... muhahahaha

how may pounds is it to a doller these days.

Others: I've modified the code again. If you still have pop-ups, please tell me.

DinosaurNothlit · « **Reply #16 on:** October 16, 2009, 09:10:06 PM »

Okay, that seems to have fixed it. I haven't been getting that problem for a while now.

Thanks, Rich!

Or....... You could use firefox + adblock! I've maybe seen one pop-up in the past month.

Richard · « **Reply #18 on:** October 17, 2009, 10:34:20 AM »

I cannot condone AdBlock as it is ads that help run the site when donations fail to meet targets.

However, pretty much all modern browsers (i.e. Opera, Firefox) block popups. I believe most people don't have problems with banner ads, only popups.

There are no pop-ups on RAF. When they showed up that was a mistake.

Darth Revan · « **Reply #21 on:** October 17, 2009, 12:28:44 PM »

And Rich saved the day! Yay!

Phoenix004 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 17, 2009, 02:04:55 PM »

I'm glad this annoying advertisement has gone (I think) but I do plan on donating soon. I'm supposed to be on monthly wages at work now but for some reason they haven't switched me yet. As soon as that's sorted out I will be donating. Hopefully it will be soon, as I told Amnesty International that I would donate to them months ago!
