Pop ups....

Moderators, im not sure who is in control of advertising and I know that its important in maintaining the site but i dont think that pop ups are necesary. Every time I log on I get at least one small little pop up advertisment that gets in the way of everything. Is their any way you can make this vendor go away?????

Re: Pop ups....

Good question. This sometimes happens 2 -3 times when I am on and it slows my machine way down when it is happening. Comes up right in the middle of the message I am trying to read. Very frustrating.

Re: Pop ups....

Install and use Firefox with adblock plus add on and you will never see pop ups or adds again.

Re: Pop ups....

Disable it in the user control panel

Under your "public profile" disable IntelliTXT Ads

Re: Pop ups....

The problem with turning them off completely is that my wife needs to have the pop ups turned on when she works on the Charles Schwab website. They use pop ups often to bring in information you request.

She can use Internet Explorer with popups allowed, and you can use firefox with no popups.

Re: Pop ups....

Unfortunately we can't. We use a Mac and IE is not supported for Mac any longer. So, we use Safari most of the time and for the .001% of websites that don't work properly with Safari, we use FireFox.

Re: Pop ups....

Also, I use Safari when on this forum and have the Pop-Up blocker turned on. The pop-up's only occur on this Forum. Go figure.

Re: Pop ups....

I think that the one website that advertises with the popups should be eliminated...

As far as the "pop ups" -- we don't run pop ups. Never have. So, there are no "pop ups" to block on this site.
