    Remove all ads!
    [​IMG] They (that is, these here on the boards) will be removed. When I signed up for the ads there aren't supposed to be any pop-ups, but now it seems most people are getting them. Even the bloody annoying ones that want to install software on your computer.

    Just FYI. If they don't remove it from the ad campaign, I'll take the whole thing down.

    [​IMG] damn, posted about this before there was a topic for it.

    aren't there programmes you can download that'll close pop-ups automatically? if so, is it possible to configure them so that they're closed only after a certain amount of time? (need to make sure you get your sponsorship money!)

    well, at least those 'automatic download' pop-ups don't ask your permission to cancel and then attempt to install software anyway after you've clicked 'no' (like some porn sites -uhh, i mean...). which reminds me...

    Ok Tal. I would like...no...love it if you could do something about the pop up's. I let the first one load so that you get some money. But once that one is done others come. And their adult pop up's. I do have a little borther who reads this site so if you could do something about them as soon as posable I would be very greatfull.

    Thank you Tal.

    edit: I'm also getting fucking anoyed that they pop up on every single page. I know that your probley fixing it. I would just like to give you some insproration in to getting it fixed faster.

    [​IMG] I've removed all of it already. The pop-ups were not from the same source as the ones on the front page, which are the ones I'll be using.

    We can bear alittle popups. But adult ones doesnt really belong here. A program that would let the popups load fully would be marvelous. That way you could contribute your miniscule amounts of cash and still dont have to close them by your self.

    I seriously doubt anyone would pay money to have their pop-ups loaded and not even seen, let alone clicked. :p

    Tal ... edumacate us on the pop-ups please. We *all* want to see you get the money, but we don't want to be bogged down with millions of open windows.

    So ... what do we need to do to get you paid? Let them load? Click on them? I'll do anything short of buying things from your sponsers (execept for Amazon or Chips&Bits)

    So, from the great movie Jerry Maguire, I scream "Taluntian ... show me the money" :money: :1eye: :money:

    [​IMG] It's all written on that Helping SP page. All that it takes is letting them load. I'm testing a script that I'll put on all pages of SP, and maybe the boards too if it proves it works. It'll open one pop-up and one pop-under every 6 hours only.

    So if you could just let that load fully before closing them, it'd be enough.
