Pop up windows?

Yes, I much rather have pop up windows than no Gamebanshee, I just wanted to tell Buck they are there, in case he didn't know. It must be very frustrating for poor Buck if the providers constantly break agreements about this.

Don't apologise Buck, it's certainly not your fault

Anyway, now I haven't seen any pop ups, so you must have done something

Thank you, Buck

@Buck, as CE said, it's not your fault, and no one's blaming you. You run a damn fine board.

Maybe it's time to reconsider the pay-for-post option. My only concern would be that the board might turn into a haven for insiders, and never be visited by curious players. In turn, if you gave the curious newbies free accounts for a limited period of time, you could end up p*ssing off the folks who post like they have nothing better to do (cough).

Hey Buck, I think you should really reconsidor your ad providors or something along those lines. The pop-ups are back. Perhaps it had something to do with ultimate bulletin board or something, caude they only appar when checking the forum.

When the last Pop-Up ad appeared, I right clicked went to properties and got the address(URL)
[url="http://www.mediadevil.net/pops.htm"]http://www.mediadevil.net/pops.htm[/url]

(I saved the source code for it as well. I didn't know if this could help or not)

I thought the ad provider was [url="http://ads.adtegrity.net"]http://ads.adtegrity.net[/url]

Could it be bleeding over to GB from some other site?

It is somethink like that or possible:
ads.admonitor.net
there is also something in the code called
adorigin.com - they might have something to do with it?

this "mediadevil" seems just to provide the "Pop-up code" not the adds.

EDIT: something called "servedby.advertising.com"/"Powerad" opens a lot of small new windows at me.
Don't know if this helps.

I no longer get the pop-ups, have you solved the problems Buck?

Possibly, and it sounds about right. Will keep you notified just in case though.
