Pop Music

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Why is it that I'm suddenly getting pop-up ads when I visit this website?

They're very infrequent, but so far I've had
*one imploring me to Visit wales (Has Andythegoth been tampering with the site??!)
*one inviting me to buy 4 DVDs for the price of one, and
*one that was just gobbledygook (my favourite word).

What's going on, QB? something to do with your server?

I dread to see the day when Heartlanders will be bombarded with ads to buy the latest Gareth Gates/Peter Andre CD.

It's probably 'exit' popups from the site you were viewing before HL. Man I hate it when they do that...

the '3 CDs 4 a pound' one happened when I'd been surfing this site for a while.??

And I've just had a new one saying 'free yourself from debt!!?

BS

try installig the google search bar.

it's a tiny wee prog, dead easy to set up and it has a popup block facility, which is really easy to turn on /off . best of all it's 100% free :D

just be careful to check the box that says

"i want records of everywhere i've been, sent back in a report, which will be indiviually poured over in search of people who surf the web for subversive materials such as shakin' stevens, or crowded house fansites" :wink:

@ bs: if you've recently got broadband or something it might be that you're getting popup spam through that?

if so, i would install some kind of firewall software such as zone alarm or norton personal firewall...

quick note...

adaware - use it!!! 448 trace tracking files found on my pc...

google toolbar - installs a few of its own, don;t use it...

best advice run moxilla or opera...kills everything.
