My system at home has blockers installed now (I'll disable & test later when I get home), but the work PC has no such items installed........but no pop ups have occured here at work! (??)

Last night I went through to make sure they weren't on the main part of the site... but I didn't check the forum code... Bang Head

I got mine on the Reviews page yesterday, but on the forum today... Where are people getting them now? If its just the forum, I know what marketing company to yell at!! Mad

Yes, I get it on etering the forum and when posting this reply, spybot reports it as a threat

OK guys, thanks! Keep an eye on it, and I'm hoping its isolated to the forum now so I know what to address!!

On another note, I am experimenting with something... On reviews that are over 2 months old, I am running what they call InVue ads... Most of the traffic to these pages is from search engines by the time they get that old, so it shouldn't affect the BigBruin crowd, or any sites linking in to the review... but it may make Two Cents

(ok maybe 3 cents).

Check one older review out, if you don't know what I mean... http://www.bigbruin.com/html/maxtop_csx-001_1.htm

The script is set to only show one of these ads per 12 hours as well, so I hope the impact is minimal. THis is the closest thing to a pop-up / pop-under that I want on the site... and specifically on these pages since the "usual" crowd probably isn't visiting them!!

that's fair BB, those ads are a pain but once a review is 2 months old anyhow... your right - most ppl have already checked it out!

Anyone gotten one recently? I put new ad code on just to make sure it wasn't being done by a mistake of my own, even though it all looked good.

Plus, I have contacted the two ad agencies that would have to be responsible... One already replied and said no, that isn't one of their ads...

If you do get one, please tell me what the ad looks like (or get the url), as well as what page it appeared on and what banner ads were showing at the time!!

Thanks!

I haven't had a pop-under / up since Wednesday so I'm hoping I fixed it on my end (or that the marketing companies got their acts together and fixed it on their ends). If you get them still, please let me know where and what it is! Thanks!
