John-in-KC Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Western Union... Some bloody resort... Current Magazine... I'm getting pop-up ads here. It's getting really old, really fast. Yes, my pop-up blocker (IE 7.0) is ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packsaddle Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I am using the same stuff and I'm not getting them. Check to see if scouter.com is listed as one of your allowed sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John-in-KC Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 I adjusted my settings to high; we'll see what that does. Of course, Terry didn't believe us about the Chinese hack for a while, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlFansome Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Technically, these are not popup windows, since they don't actually open in a new window. Popup blockers won't kick in on these, since a new window is not being opened. Instead, these ads are implemented as mouseovers where if you move your mouse over the ad, they expand and take over screen realestate. Some also seem to auto-expand on load, which IMHO is obnoxious, if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio_Scouter Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Just got another pop-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GernBlansten Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Just got my first. They are coming from the revolving ad at the bottom of the page. Not sure how they are getting by the popup blocker, it usually works flawlessly. But, looks like the product they are using to give them revenue on the bottom page space is allowing advertisers to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
