DH: Popunder running amok

Zardon · Dec 26, 2003, 11:02 PM

Id like to apologise to everyone who has experienced problems lately with our popunder script, it has been running amok. All our ads are supplied by an ad company which run from their servers and it appears over the holiday period something went quite seriously wrong with the way our campaign was handled with regards to this particular script. The ad company have been informed and will rectify the situation as soon as they can, in the meantime to stop any further problems we have totally removed the popunder script on the front page.

Thanks for your understanding.

No problem things happen, glad it's getting sorted out though it was rather annoying.

I figured that the MODs would take care of the problem quickly. I wasn't worried.

There were pop-ups/unders on Driverheaven?

I haven't seen a pop-up/under since I used Mozilla at least to web-sites I haven't told Mozilla to allow them from, but that is very rare as Mozilla seems to have fixed most of the initial problems with figuring out which ones it should and shouldn't allow(should allow pop-ups for pages like Creatives pop-up action request boxes for your area, Flash page pop-ups, etc.). Better to be overprotective then underprotective in this area. But I think I only had a problem in the alpha/beta version that started implementing it though. Oh well it's been a while.

I think you missed my point...

...it would be nice if you can add DH to your allowed list so that we can afford to pay the bills
