Just wondering. I seem to get a lot of popups when I reload the forums. I could also have spyware on my computer that is causing the popups. To narrow it down, I just want to know if any of you experience popups while visiting WHT. Thanks.

I don't think they have any pop ups, not that I have noticed anyways...

No Pop-ups at WHT - and I am glad :)

Yah, no popups this way :D

I could also have spyware on my computer that is causing the popups

*sniff* I can smell it from here....

Not since I uninstalled gator....

Download and install this:

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ (Ad Aware)

That should make all your spyware problems go away

Hi!
WHT has no pop ups. It could be thanks to your ISP... :)

Have a nice day :)

Thanks all. Yea that is what I thought. Spyware strikes again!

Greg, I have had the Ad Aware program installed, but it isn't finding and removing this spyware. It is somewhere in my registry. It causes popups most often when I visit popular websites like Yahoo.com, foxnews.com, and other times at random times like right here at WHT. I just cannot find out where it is. I don't get pop ups every time, but it happens enough to really really aggravate me and slows down the webpage loading time while the popup is loading up. I think I need to start browsing with the crazy browser (http://www.crazybrowser.com) add on of internet explorer or opera that has the disable popup option. It's pretty bad when some software was forced and installed on my computer without my knowledge, and now it is dictating what browser I am going to have to use!

Well i've seen a few popups...

I havent gotton any pop ups from this site :)

I think its stupid when a site does have pop ups.....No good..........

The Dude :)

They've been from something/somewhere else. I've been here a couple/few years and during that time, not a single popup has been placed on the forum. Everyone hates them, including us :D

The only program that was running was msn... and the only window open was wht... ;)

possibly time delayed from an earlier page or you have spyware, wht doesnt have popups and ive never ever seen one while browsing.

Likewise, I've never seen a pop-up here and I even lurked around for 6+ months before I registered. How do I know for sure? I'm still here. I refuse to patronize sites that annoy the piss out of me.

I've caught a few pop ups aswell...

Never seen a popup from WHT...:cool:

...because there's never been any. If you got one, you got it from somewhere else.

I'll take this moment to plug a new browser I'm using. It's based on Mozilla, so all you IE fanatics should be warned in advanced to stay clear, unless of course you feel like being converted. The browser is extremely streamlined, it's neither bulky nor skimmed on the feature front. It's currently in version 0.4, by the time they release 1.0, it's going to be one hell of a browser...

oh the reason why I'm recommending it, is because of it's built-in popup ad blocker.

To get rid of pop upS...REFORMAT YOUR COMPUTER!

Are you sure your not seeing the messenger spam?????????

The Dude :)

Nah, what I am seeing is this pop-up url that appears to have an affiliate code in it. Note: Doesn't mean it's the affiliate that is guilty.

BIGTIME! It's on my damn computer somewhere. Since I switched today to the crazy browser IE plug-in, I haven't seen it since. But I still need to get it off my system. Also, notice about that webpage (The root html page) the obvious "Report Spam Here" link. Usually a sign of being guilty but trying to cover it up by acting to be concerned about spam. Either that or they do have a very big problem with spam.
