Firefox + ABP FTW.  But, I hardly ever seen a blocked pop up message on this site...

It isn't working properly for this site. This is the only f'n website i go to where i seem to get pop-ups.

I've gotten the pop-up add that says "Continue to Site" far too many times today. I don't know if that's the ODST ad you're talking about or not (I can't see the ad, it doesn't display properly in IE7).

Edit: It's the XBOX 360 ad I'm having an issue with.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I've gotten it on almost every other page-view on the forums this morning. I got it when I opened this thread. I got it again after I voted. And then, just for kicks, I got it once more when I hit "Reply"

I bet I'll get it once I hit post, too.

 

Edit: I did. And I got it when I hit edit, too.

Edit 2: I'm getting it on every page view, now. I don't know if I was before since I was opening new threads in tabs, and the ad automatically redirects to the site after a few moments, but yeah, now I'm seeing it every time I do something on the forums.

Yeah... this is what I'm getting with Firefox with adblocking turned on as well.

The pop-up adds themselves aren't that bad (even though I do get WAY more than 1 a day), the problem is, very rarely does the "continue on to goozex" button appear. The VAST majority of the time (and I mean like 95%+) it dead ends on the ad page and I have to back the browser up.

Hey guys,

Just a quick follow-up.  We have disabled the pop-up ads on the forums.  Please PM me if you are still getting any.

I pay my money to be a member here there is not need for pop-ups, have pop-ups for people who are not logged in.

 

 

You technically don't pay to become a member as you can become one for free, you just pay for trade credits and points if you don't trade games out, and the pop ups can be annoying but not that big a deal.

You must not understand good business practices, i gave goozex money, they are proving me with a trade service thus i am a customer, and as a person who gives money to goozex i do not want to have to deal with pop up ads on their site, i could take my business else where where they are no pop up ads if thats the case.

membership is completely free, to make a trade however it costs $1.  But there is no cost to be a member.  So sorry you are wrong.

No sir i am not wrong, I am not going to fight you,  If you look up goozex it is listed as a business, and i am not talking about membership when i receive a game and one doallor goes to them i a custmer.  According to The state of maryland tax information goozex is listed as a business.  So i don't care what you think,  I am a customer and pop up ads are making me mad.  If you are the kind of person that does not care how a business treats you thats fine.  But i am not going to deal with bad customer service enought of this.

Clearly states right here that goozex is listed as a busniess and business can only make money fom custmers so i guess me paying a dollor a trade does not make me a custmer.

You are being bias you have some kind of special attachment to goozex so you are just telling yourself that to stick up for them.  You are a Beta tester you have some stake here so what you think does not count.
