Surely I can`t be the only one who`s sick to death of that poxy freeserve pop-up advert.
I`ve kept quiet as long as I can because I realise the site needs advertising revenue. But enough is enough. I wasn`t interested in Freeserve before the advert, but you can be damn sure I am now utterly 100% against the stupid ISP now. It pops up 2 or 3 times per visit. It doesn`t just pop up the once, whether you kill the window or not. That`s 2 or 3 extra windows with the same advert. It`s been running for weeks now. Not just a short-lived campaign.
Argh poxy poxy poxy rant rant rant...

pop-up ad? The last pop-up I saw was Willow and this was ages ago. Are you sure it`s Reviewer that`s launching Freeserve ads? I`m on site every day, several times a day and don`t see it at all.

Change your browser security settings to "prompt" whenever an ActiveX control is launched. You can then decide whether or not to run flash components - I presume the freeserve ad is one, as i`ve not been getting it.

Search for pop up stopper from panicware. Never see another pop up again.

Actually its been getting on my tits too, I`ve spoken to our ad people about it but have yet to have a reply back.
We genuinely don`t want to irritate readers with adverts they aren`t interested in, and the fact it comes up everytime and isn`t limited to three showings must devalue its impact.
I may even not wait for a reply and remove it later today from the main pages it is on.
