Blablabla pop up crap
 

Aloha !

What's this all about? I get this message each time I open a new page. Am I supposed to feel guilty? A messageboard with pop ups is ****ing annoying. Anyone agrees?

Salaam Aleikum,

I guess I do too. I know JT is funded through that but still.

I got that too, its bloody annoying.

Yup, I've got the same. It's gonna be pretty damn annoying.

Yes that's the whole point of it.
If you block popups here, you will get more of them.

I would be very happy if good ad networks would allow classic banners on forums, but they don't. The banners used here are mostly PSAs (public service announcements) - not paid at all.

Its bullshit peter and you know it. It looks that you aren't interested in Jovitalk at all anymore. I'm happy that I'm using Firefox but for the other people this is very shitty.

Im sorry but theres no way in hell Im gonna stay posting here with that thing coming up every single time I click on a link. It sucks! And its so damn annoying.

Go post at my forum then :D

Every pop-up blocker allows you to exclude certain sites.

I have Firefox but it pops up for me....Can you stop it or something?

I'm not visiting this forum anymore because I don't have the time for it. But I still would rather pay a few bucks, instead of being bothered by those pop-ups.

But you don't give people a choice, so ofcourse they block pop-ups! And by creating such a stupid window-thing more en more people will leave your forum I think. Cause they'll still find pop-ups anoying and it's more likely that they'll leave instead of removing the pop-up killer.

I agree, many of us have said time and time again that we would happily donate to help the site running if it meant no more popups, but if you don't give us the chance to do that we can do nothing but block the adverts, which no-one would ever click anyway other than to close them.

I use Firefox also and I am not having anything pop up. It all looks the same to me as it has recently.
I do understand the frustration though. I would much rather donate to the site than get attacked by pop ups if I visited frequently (which I do).

and you are not alone!! We've even had a poll on that.

Peter, that pop-up crap is ****ing ridiculous! Don't tell me you actually think it is a good idea!

It's stupid beyond words and all it will accomplish is for people stop posting. You don't seriously think people will revert back to reading stupid pop-up ads which should be illegal to begin with.

****ING BULLSHIT!

I think so too. People will come here and when they see how complicated it is to navigate the site they'll just leave.

Peter, my computer sometimes freezes when pop-ups appear so I'm using a pop-up blocker partly for that. I'd rather have those old ads that came in-between stuff than this cling the message does. I think I could cope better if it came up every other page - but every single link????

I thought we were so much better with this new software - everything was going so smoothly and now this :(

Out of curiosity, how much does it cost to run the boards? I'm just curious. Sorry if it's a personal question.

Same for me: no problems over here, but I do understand the frustration.

I don't understand why some forums can leave without all this (pop up) but not JT.


JT should win an award because after all the problems during a long time trying to use this board with pop up, we (at last) have a better site, we are happy with it and now this window !!!
The best of the best !

I won't change anything, the other forums i use don't need that. Webmasters never did something like that.

Either people won't visit JT anymore or they'll download what they need to not see this window anymore.

Well the HUGE banner we have now is a million times better than that popup we were getting earlier. That was quite clearly the worst thing JT has ever had. Im extremely glad peter that you have removed that, because I definately would of left the board with it running. I am like Keeper, my pc is very detramental when it comes to popups and they like to freeze my computer. Thats why I now use Firefox WITH a popupblocker. I have to use this, or I could barely use JT. I dont like the huge banner, but I would be prepared to put up with it IF necessary.

I use the Norton Anti-virus, and the Yahoo! pop-up blocker, and i don't get anything at all.

Well thankfully it has been removed now, so you wont see it :)

Thanks Peter, now let's put a sticky thread to make sure people don't forget to click on this banner.

well. thanx to those in charge :)

Thanks for removing it.
As others have said I wouldnt mind donating if it helped keep JT alive and ad-free.

Thanks for that, Peter :D

I'll make a point of clicking on the ads a few times a day :)

I will too, but don't forget to clean your pc sometimes too ;)

I don't block pop-ups and there is not many popups anyway... just i get couple of pop when i open the page.... I don't see what so big deal about blocking pop-ups.. they are not at all annoying...

yes they are! In fact they are downright evil :p

I used to think they weren't so annoying until they started freezing my computer. And then *that* was annoying! :angry:

Lol may be i'm just lucky ;) Well only get couple of pop ups in the begining and i usualy close them and i never get it again unless i dont use it for long time and try to open again..... i actually hate pop up blockers lol...

What are those scripts that resize my window when I visit JT?

Iv never heard anyone else say that one before!

Yeah, and it opens a Jamba site. And I use Firefox btw.

Am I the only one with this problem?

It would appear so yes. No-one as far as im aware has ever complained about this issue before.

Ah yes, the mature way to deal with a problem... swear at it

I agree I hate popups, I don't get them on this site though as my toolbar stops them :)

so does mine cool init lol

Well i know for sure he isn't doing it for the money, he had the chance to sell the domainname a couple of times...
