Post by: Richard 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 (http://animorphsforum.com/donate/) to get rid of ads.

Post by: Richard on October 16, 2009, 12:19:14 PM: What browser are you using?
Title: Re: Advertising.
Post by: Brad the Brit on October 16, 2009, 12:21:51 PM: The ever trust worthy Internet Explorer.

PS... Could you at least change it from party poker?
Title: Re: Advertising.
Post by: Richard 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.
Title: Re: Advertising.
Post by: Brad the Brit on October 16, 2009, 12:32:25 PM: its not...

thank you King Richard ;D

Post by: Darth Revan on October 16, 2009, 12:33:02 PM: 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!

Post by: DinosaurNothlit 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. :P

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.

Post by: Darth Revan on October 16, 2009, 03:29:39 PM: Maybe rich is now in league with some unsavory characters.
Title: Re: Advertising.
Post by: Richard 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.
Title: Re: Advertising.
Post by: Darth Revan on October 16, 2009, 04:15:46 PM: That's odd. You sure you're not in with the advertisment Mafia? :P ;D

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

Others: I've modified the code again. If you still have pop-ups, please tell me.
Title: Re: Advertising.
Post by: DinosaurNothlit 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!

Post by: Mr. Guy36 on October 17, 2009, 06:24:53 AM: Or....... You could use firefox + adblock! I've maybe seen one pop-up in the past month.
Title: Re: Advertising.
Post by: Richard 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.

Post by: Richard on October 17, 2009, 10:48:41 AM: There are no pop-ups on RAF. When they showed up that was a mistake.

Post by: Darth Revan on October 17, 2009, 12:28:44 PM: And Rich saved the day! Yay! :woot:

Post by: Phoenix004 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!
