ActiveWin.com is removing pop-ups on all news and comment pages as of May 1st for a one month test. If the test proves successful, and cost effective, the pop-ups will remain off. You can already enjoy Active Network Forums Pop-Up free. Comments, of course, are always welcome. | ||

| This is great, especially as in the course of trying to reply to this news I have one popup escaping the clutches of IE's pop-up blocker and 2 others that have been caught :( |

Thanks for this action.
Only pop-ups will be banned for one month. Four or five scattered ads similar to "YOU HAVE WON! whatever" with bouncing graphics may be worse than pop-ups. Please don't use rollover or fold up ads. I hope the site keeps the new replacement ads clean and non-distracting so we can focus on content and ActiveWin can make some cash. |

WooHoo!
Hopefully the readership will return to pre-popup-hell levels :) Good job guys. TL |

| aw, shucks. now we'll have to go elsewhere to test microsoft's big investment in popup blocking technologies... |

| Thank you thank you thank you! When you work on slow, old machines, pop-ups really wear on your nerves. |
| #7 By 3746 (71.19.43.237) at 4/26/2006 2:11:27 PM |
| I use Maxthon over IE 7 Beta 2 and get zero popups and hardly any ads on this site. So doesn't matter if you turn them off or not since i am not getting them now. |
| #8 By 1401 (65.255.137.20) at 4/26/2006 9:44:51 PM |
| oh btw - that's May 1st...2099... |
| #9 By 47155 (68.225.122.174) at 4/27/2006 1:18:54 PM |
| Thank you. I had been looking for other sites that are as useful but don't have the annoying popups. |
| #10 By 1226 (206.67.164.177) at 4/30/2006 5:48:54 AM |
| Only idiots buy off a pop up |
| #11 By 2201 (212.117.228.133) at 5/2/2006 4:22:05 AM |
| Hmmm... so let me see... pop-up upon clicking on a Comment link from the main page... not exactly "removed", is it? |
| #12 By 1226 (206.67.164.177) at 5/2/2006 4:58:59 AM |
| there is still one |
| #13 By 7711 (209.204.74.18) at 5/2/2006 5:57:23 AM |
| I'm using IE 7 beta 2 with no popups here since I started with the preview version. It's still a good idea...there is a special place in hell for the invertor of the pop-up ad. |
| #14 By 2960 (68.101.39.180) at 5/2/2006 7:35:19 AM |

Still getting popups here.
Maybe they infected the AW servers with Spyware :) TL |
| #15 By 3746 (71.19.43.237) at 5/2/2006 7:58:17 AM |

no popups before.....no pop ups now. Maxthon with IE7 beta 2.
People should take control of their own browsing experience instead of whining about pop ups. Activewin could have 100 popups per page and it wouldn't matter to me. |
| #16 By 2 (136.142.154.66) at 5/2/2006 9:58:38 AM |
| I just noticed that. Let me see what's going on. They are definitely off the frontpage. I'll give you an update |
| #17 By 2 (136.142.154.66) at 5/2/2006 10:24:46 AM |
| All fixed folks...no need to get worked up...It was two files not the one I thought :-p IT is may 2nd, and the pop-ups are gone ;-) |
| #18 By 3 (62.253.128.12) at 5/2/2006 10:37:18 AM |
| yeah hopefully we've fixed it now. |

| At last ! Wise decision :) |

| Pop-ups? You use pop-ups? Hmmm... Maybe for people using defective browsers or insecure systems, but no pop-ups here. |
| #22 By 20505 (216.102.144.11) at 5/2/2006 7:39:26 PM |
| didn't get any today.....pop-ups that is. hoot! |
