ARGH, Popups on HS while using Firefox

[Cashizslick]

Ok, everytime i log on to HS. I get these stupid popups from some "z1.adserver" thingy.

Is there any way i can get rid of these or do i have to just live with it?

thanks in advance, Cash

there is one pop up per 24 hours via a cookie set to your machine. if your machine doesn't accept cookies, it will pop everytime.

ads suck, i know... but hosting this site costs almost 100 bucks a month.

unless we make a move to a pay-per-month membership, or a mandatory donation or something, instead of free, ads will always be a part of this site

yeah i know B, but is there anyway for the browser to block them? Like, i thought a plus with firefox was that it didnt get popups and now im getting them. . . . .

IE let's me block all pop ups. It beeps instead. To open a new window, I have to hold down the CTRL button at the same time as clicking on a link. Kind of a pain once in a while, but worth it. It's under tools,privacy tab, check box for blocking popups, and click the button for settings.

Ok, for the sake of b i will allow the daily violation of my computer with pop-ups .

-> its cool, ill do it for H.S.

 

[micah]

mozilla blocks most pop ups by default, but there are "pop unders" and floating pop ups and junk that slide through in the way they are coded.

 

[phunky.buddha]

Yeah, it's just a pop-under. Let it load and then kill it. You don't see it anyway- it hides under your browser.

What's weird is a month ago I NEVER got ads. Now all of a sudden Firefox is allowing them on various sites. *#$&)@#$

so how much money per person do you get for these ads?

Is it 10 cents per view or click? I remember when you asked everyone to click on an ad or two for Hondaswap's sake. I did. I just don't like involuntary anything. I like total control over my browsing, while maintaining functionality and user friendliness. Hell, I'll send you $1 if you make my computer immune to the Hondaswap ads.......

I don't get popups or popunders with Firefox. Ever. Hell, I didn't even know Hondaswap had ads until I went over to a friend's place and logged on.

Linux Firefox shouldn't be any different from the Windows version though... weird.

 

[posol]

perhaps, i could set up a premium membership thing...

but i don't have time any time from now till like june.. so don't expect it soon.

 

[jeffie7]

I'd rather just deal with the popups and click a few ads.

I don't follow them I just click them then close the window. takes all of 2 secs
if only I did it more often =)
