Pop up ads.
I hate 'em!! Especially when it's a big green ugly thing advertising some cheap crap PeeCee!
Can't get rid of it?? When I'm browsing round the forums the last thing I want is to have to close off a zillion ad windows.
And yeah I appreciate that Monish has to make money somehow.

I love OmniWeb. I haven't seen a pop-up ad since I started using it. It's got filtering settings for all sorts of great stuff that annoys me!

i've never gotten a popup from AI.
Maybe its because i use omniweb, but i have never set up any filtering prefs.

The ad broker is being contacted about this, because this is clearly unacceptable.

# 21 Re: Pop up ads.
This is something handled by the ad supplier, not us, and although we filed for removal of popup ads a little while ago, it takes them several weeks to process that ... so they're going away, but unfortunately we'll have to wait a bit longer.
So it goes.
