Posted: Sat Sep 18, 2010 8:47 pm Post subject: Pop-ups? Here? |
|
|
Yeah, I've been repeatedly notified by Firefox that Score Hero has been trying to open pop-up pages. I figured it might have been something on my computer, but it seems that Score Hero is not only the only site this happens on, but Microsoft Security Essentials told me I had no threats when I did a scan.
Is anyone else seeing this happen? While Firefox does block any and all pop-ups, it's mildly annoying, and I was sure it was against the terms with the ad agency or something. _________________

Are you getting a PM when it happens?
And do you have "Pop up window on new Private Message:" activated in your profile? If so that explains it.
If not then I have no idea. _________________

I'm getting this as well, but they're not being blocked. It's some random news advertisement pop-up and it happens only on scorehero and no other websites. |

Nope, strangely enough, it happens at random intervals. It's not like it's someone's sig doing it, either, because it happens on the various forums like "Bug Reports", and even on the pages where you type in a reply. _________________

There should be no pop-ups here and there usually isn't, but it just happened to me as well. I'll try to see what's up with that, it likely snuck into the rotation without the ad agency's knowledge. _________________

I get this as well all the time now, it always confuses me because I always think I'm getting a PM but I look and there is not one there.

The agency said they were looking into it last week and I've just followed up again. I agree that it's very annoying and will keep you posted if I hear anything. _________________

Yay it's finally gone!
They isolated and removed the ad. _________________

I don't wanna rain on anyone's parade, but I got a blocked popup when I arrived on the forums just now... maybe it'll take a while to clear, or something? _________________

Since it's better to bump an old thread than start a new one, just wanted to mention that I got a SH pop-up today. I took a screenshot.
As you can see from my browser, there are no other tabs open (and I never open sites new windows). The ad is pretty harmless but yeah, I thought you would like to know _________________

Im getting this ad for Purolator popping up constantly on this site. Im using Chrome and have multiple tabs, I have pop up blocker on too lmao! I have already pressed that "x" button 8 times just typing this post! I can't find where to go to block a site or something but I can't really get much reading or score posting with this going on.
I sure hope I didn't break it ... Please let me know what I can do to resolve this. I hope its not contagious... sorry
Here's a link to a video clip of my problem: http://s1132.photobucket.com/user/kris35710/media/Guitar%20Hero%20Warriors%20of%20Rock/2013/popuponscorehero_zpsaf21a154.mp4.html _________________
