Ok, as Nancy alluded to

| | Comments (21)

Ok, as Nancy alluded to in the comments of the previous entry, I just loaded my blog and got a pop up ad. Not for poker, but for some other crap. Not in a separate window, but right there in the same window covering up my blog.

NOT. COOL.

I must check into it. If anyone else is seeing this, let me know. Also, if anyone else knows what might be causing it, let me know.

I saw it once the other day on your blog. I figured it was some remenent of a web page I visited previously...

Yeah, I'm getting it. I'd try removing external references (flckr, webstats, haloscan, whatever) and then adding them back one at a time. Course, it could be Dreamhost inserting them in, but that's kinda random.

Me said:

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with Dreamhost, since all the servers went down earlier this week. I've never had any complaints before the past 2 days.

I don't see anything

I saw a poker pop up once yesterday. I went looking to show you, but you were gone. I've only seen it once in over ten or so visits in the last few days.

I got a popup, but google blocked it. Go google!

Cassie said:

I don't see one.
I read your running post-let me haunt you with this: Koala/Luke's 20k Relay!!!
:oP

Cassie -- I know, I gotta get prepared! :)

Friday 11 A; PDT, a pop up ad for WinFixer. And I am on a Mac!

becca said:

You know, I've gotten TONS of popups for WinFixer lately, both here and at home. They are taking over the internet!

christina said:

yeah, i just got the same winfixer pop-up and i am also on a mac. how random!!

Jen said:

No popups here - though I also have the google toolbar.

Holden said:

Yes, I get an ad for winfixer. However, if you use FireFox, its a non issue. I notice it is only affecting Explorer. I don't know how to get rid of it.

Me said:

The Google toolbar doesn't block it, apparently -- because I *have* the Google toolbar and still saw it. Hmm. Becca, are you getting the WinFixer thing on more sites than just mine?

becca said:

I don't know. I swear I got it at home once after all my IE windows were closed!

christina said:

i'm using safari and still got the winfix

chris said:

i'm using firefox on win2k and i haven't seen any popups, but then this browser blocks almost everything.

Cassie said:

i just got it. i'm using IE

jelly said:

i'm using firefox on xp and got the "firefox blocked a popup" message. hope this helps!

Nancy said:

I still get a WinFixer window each time I am on your site and I am using Netscape. I have activated a pop up block and hopefully that will fix it. But not I can't upload images to blogger without disabling the block. What a pain

Jon said:

What popup? Seriously. Ok, maybe I guess I chimed in late. Oh, we missed you at the XC Relay tonight and the meal afterwards (Cassie and Mannie, Holden, Jeff Sharp, Vic, Jessica and Wes and Waverly and I).
