    No Purchase Necessary...

    Ugh...

    Guess you gotta make money somehow, but popups are even more intrusive than sticky posts...

    or maybe the internet is just one big massive portal for making money... you know, like the rest of the world.. its possible think about it.

    And as for the popups, I find that the little 'x' on the top works wonders.

    I've asked brad about this, we'll see what he's got to say...it's not spyware..since I get this crap on a virgin laptop...and some of us use a number of accounts, some of them include anti-pop-my butt software, some of them don't and you use your own...but that matters not...I dont' want the software development forum I visit to ask/answer questions to get into this kind of crap...and it is crap, what next, change your privacy policy and start spamming everyone??? I view your ads contained in your layout...is that not enough???

    so where is the beef??? ahh right that hunk of moldy slap was no purchase necs.......

    As Mick mentioned, I need a screen shot of the pop-up. I asked our main office about this pop-up (because Jupitermedia really try everything we can to avoid pop-ups). They asked for a screenshot so we can track down what the pop-up is and where it is coming from.

    (I've not gotten the pop-up since the time I asked about it, so I've not been able to capture it....)

    Brad!

    I've passed the image/link on. They are looking into it. I have one other request.

    If someone gets the pop-up again, please look at the current page you have displayed and let me know what ads are showing (check top, side, bottom).

    As I've mentioned before, we generally don't like pop-ups, so this has a few 'higher ups' asking some questions....

    Brad!
