Pop ups on GFY?
 

Just got a video pop-up here - hope that's not going to be a regular thing now.

:disgust:disgust:disgust

i couldn't even get it to play..ha

of course it will be, why would it not?

:Oh crap:disgust

Same here...

there's a little X on the top right corner of the pop-up. SImply hover your cursor over that X using your mouse or touchpad, and then left click to make the window go away.

i got it too
it said pay bitcoins to un-encrypt my files

Guess I'll be re-enabling adblock for GFY.

the WMA went over budget? lol

well i guess i can cancel the scan

how much ? :)

Another thread ... :Oh crap

What......a pop up ad!?!!? NOOOO..Ive never seen such a thing in my life. I cant believe GFY would do this to me. Its only ok to buy traffic from Popup ads not have them served to me.

cry me a river....


:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I run adblock, it didn't block it :1orglaugh

Yep same here.Tho i am sure how using more aggressive block list would block it,but problem with it how it also destroy layouts of many sites so better to use default list.

Cool, popup blockers should vanish because apparently there is an X :winkwink:

ps: No big deal for me, although not cool to pop it every 24 hours, who would watch it for the second time? :)

just trying to be helpful, it seems some here don't know how to deal with a pop-up other than to pop-up a thread venting to the rest of us about how annoying it is to their gfy experience.

This suck like Signbucks!

First World problems...

doesnt work :helpme :(

Adblock doesn’t block it cause they are running it through vimeo. I could block vimeocdn.com but I don’t think I want to do that :1orglaugh

It’s not really an add, it just a popup video. If you click it, it does nothing or goes to vimeo. So I don't really see the point in it :2 cents:

It’s pretty annoying for those that browse without logging in every time. I run my browser to clear history and delete all content each time I close it. So if I come to GFY 10 times a day I get the popup video 10 times a day :(

It's like I came home and found that someone had rearranged the furniture in my living room.

:mad:

Then I realized... this isn't my house.

Online marketers complaining about...


...online marketing?

AdBlock is like any other AdBlocker.. you can add your own rules to them. In most cases, you can click the blocker's icon in your toolbar and select to "Block Element" and then click on whatever it is you want to block.

If you're one of the ones who really want to block it, then it's pretty easy to do, be it with AdBlock or whomever. Chances are, those programs will eventually update their rules to block by default anyway.

No shit. I agree that the ad is annoying but really? OH NOES SOMEONE DOES TO US WHAT WE DO TO OTHERS, BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK.

Well said! well said!:thumbsup

traffic is down, down, down...gotta try to make up the difference Im guessing

How is it down? Looks up to me since may. Why not try new things? I get this is adult and instead of trying new things and evolving most people find it easier to complain and bitch.

Good luck with that attitude

:thumbsup

Webmasters complaining about advertisement, the irony ...

exactly.
If I were GFY I'd also detect people running ad blocking software and cancel their accounts.

You would fire your volunteer workers, ron? You really are a dick :)

Do you advertise here ron? Banners are basically only good for branding. You should invest in some skillful shills to recruit affiliates. I would send traffic if teencat had 12clickscash in his sig.

why on earth would I want affiliates from GFY?
This isn't 2001.

You got me there. But, why get mad at people running adblock? It just means its time to think about advertising in a different manner.

What pop up?

What Ads?

Ad Block works fine.

The ads are easier to rid yourself of then BM.

In case you don't see it ...

enjoy

pop up working

It seems like we should all be popping vimeo vids. But, I would make them more aggressive hulu style. Then I would charge for premium membership that doesn't remove the ads.

It's the terminator, it can't be stopped :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

An ad overlay is new?

I dont mind, push it on

ABP should solve the problem!
BUT!, since we are in a board with interesting ads... i'v disabled it.

Its just a pop-over...... :)

Pop-ups are the reason why so many hate and block ads today.
But keep annoy the shit out people.

why don't you teach GFY a lesson and take your business elsewhere?

I see the video
impressive

My thoughts, exactly. But I'm a fan of good-looking ads, so I'm biased.
