Donating YT 10K Club Member | Ooooo, a complaint thread and I was gonna post the same thing. Pop up blocker doesn't even stop these....the first time I got one....I wondered what I had clicked or scrolled across. Now you scroll down a thread...and eventually up one comes... Just threw that guy in...I don't like it.

| yes and it drives me crazy. i also have a pop up blocker but it isn't catching them. i don't think we ought to have to be subjected to these on here and wish there was some way to stop them. seems like we had this happen once before and admin told us a way to stop them. Could be wrong tho. |

| Count me in! I HATE those stupid pop-ups, they really drive me away from YT when I can't stand it anymore. On another forum that I frequent they were able to get rid of the pop ups, I think it costs money though.

Administrator | Pop-up ads are ads that display in a new browser window. There are absolutely no ads on YorkieTalk which open up another browser window and there never have been. We do have ads from Google and a few other advertising agencies on YorkieTalk. Ads help offset server and hosting costs and help keep YorkieTalk alive. YorkieTalk would simply not be possible without ads. Which ads are you referring to? If they are green colored links, we have posted a way to disable them here: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sit...red-links.html If you are talking about a different ad, please let us know and we can look into it. Thank you. |

Administrator | We have not seen these ads, if you can let us know for which company or service the ad is for, we can look into it. Is this ad related to another ad on the page? Or if you have a screenshot you could attach to your post, that may help. |

YT Graphic Artist Donating Member | I haven't seen any pop-ups, but I do get pop-unders! If I have my speakers on, and I'm reading the posts, sometimes I hear a message that starts with "Congratulations, you have been selected...." it made me jump right out of my chair the first time!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Ya gotta be patient...cause I haven't had one since I complained. I've seen three different ones...but since they tick me off...I didn't even read it. I'll take a screenshot...or maybe someone else will.

| I've been getting these as well. I'm so tired of having my life invaded by uncaring people who put those out and without your permission. I get junk phone calls, have to have my spam blocker set on high and now I can't even get on YT for a little visit without it happening here too. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Wow I just have spent 3 days on the phone with India (Mcafee Security) because we had so many pop ups and virusus. I finally had to pay them 64.00 to take control of my computer remotely and get rid of the virusus and trojan. Even though I have their security package. Even after that I got a pop up and my computer is running slow. I hope it's not going to mess up my computer again.
