Is anyone else getting the annoying pop ups?

Recommended Posts

Do you get that stupid lady that pops up, freezes your computer and starts yelling at you if your speakers are on? That sure is annoying...

Pop up blockers are on in IE. If you are suggesting I switch browsers, I would rather switch sites.

 

Who uses IE?! No seriously, Firefox has been crapping out lately with other issues... I'm about to jump to Chrome. And that pains me, as I hate the google war machine.

They came up all the time when i got back on here everyday in July talking about college preview crap and disappeared until 1 or 2 weeks ago and now that dam beeatch pops up and yells again :mad:

Mike, please mute the sound by default on the popups. I read forums at work when I am free, and my colleagues got a pretty good laugh out of it today, when my linux box speaker just went blaring with her voice. I cant for the life of me figure out how to disable that speaker. Please do the right thing here. That pop up is bad user experience.

 

Also i click on rest of your targeted banner ads on the top to support the site. :)

 

So please consider this request.

Guys,

 

Advertising is a key component in keeping FFToday financially viable. Trust me, if we could do away with all the ads and find a less-intrusive revenue stream I would do it in a heartbeat. I don't like them for a number of reasons but there a necessity at this point in time.

 

That being said, I understand the annoying nature of the pop-ups and I've put in a request with our ad provider to have these style of ads removed from the site. If you continue to see them after Friday please send me an email and let me know.

 

Thanks

I don't know about Internet Exploder...who uses that crap? But on Chrome, that ###### pops up constantly. I might have to go back to Firefox.

Thanks, I will stick it out until then.

 

It is the audio that is unacceptable.

Mike,

 

That is cool of you to listen to our requests to get rid of the popups, thanks man!

 

I second this. Thanks for being attentive to member requests.

 

That being said I have no idea what we are talking about, but it sounds like that is a good thing for me anyways :doublethumbsup:

I use Firefox and have never seen this woman. I can't really remember ever having any pop ups on this site, come to think of it.

I don't think anyone has a problem with you making money. You need to pay for the servers and traffic somehow, we sure don't pay. The problem is the pop-up volume is not only annoying, it is far too loud.

Are these pop-ups the same ones that Jenn Sterger was getting? That WOULD be annoying.
