new pop-ups

Mama Muttblood^..^ on Activities - Thu, May 15 2008

Uh, what's up with the annoying pop-ups that have started flashing across the bottom of this website? One of the things I really love about this site is that there are no annoying pop-ups blocking blog content. The ads on the side are attractive, informative, and unobtrusive. Now this. We are not pleased at Chez Muttblood.

Besides the popups, I also am getting a red strip across the top saying,"this web page is probably a scam". It used to be a yellow strip.

Either I have a really good pop-up blocker, or they aren't happening here on my PC. Not that I want to see them....

Firefox and Opera are your friends.

Agreed. I've never seen one pop up while using Firefox.

Hmm - haven't seen them but I have a pop up blocker so maybe that's why.

We have a pop-up blocker but I am getting these for some reason.

I'm not getting anything, either. I was getting weird things yesterday, though. Maybe my hubby fixed it.

I have a pop-up blocker. It frequently comes and blocks things I don't want blocked. But my PC is 8 1/2 years old, so it's probably just misfiring, like someone with dementia.

Hmmm - I might qualify for that dementia classification. I'm no pc guru - my hubby takes care of the computer issues - I just cause them! The site has been pretty wacky the last couple of days though...

I haven't actually seen any pop-ups, but McAfee has been going CRAZY with notices.

When I was on a couple of days ago, I kept getting a weird sign-in required pop-up even though I was already signed in. I couldn't get it to go away.

Me too!! It was some Firefox window, and when I'd put in my password, hit ok, it would come back up again. I finally had to shut down the computer to get rid of it. Very annoying. I didn't know anyone else had this issue too.
