We are being spammed hard with a pop-up, and I apologize

34 Comments on We are being spammed hard with a pop-up, and I apologize

1. That Russian bride thing just gave me a Pop Up

2. No problem here in Macville.

3. Bad Brad. That’s not too bad. I get Chinese gals, very pretty, but I also get support barack obama.

4. As usual, I thought it was just internet ineptitude on my part. Glad to hear otherwise!

5. Sorry for my post Mary . I’m such a pig.

6. No, the problem is there are 2 suppliers, and each one says they aren’t responsible, until after 2 weeks of me freaking out with them, and then one says “oh, it was us.”
   They pocket the money and move on.
   Well, one of them is being removed after I hear from them tomorrow. I will toss a coin if they both deny it.
   That way when we are harassed with these intrusions in the future we know exactly who it is.

   I cannot stand this, much more than you would ever believe. It makes me physically ill, and sometimes I wonder how much more of this I can take.

7. @Brad—

   Love you anyway.

8. BFH–

   I guess “glad” wasn’t the best choice of words for me to make.

   Sorry this is such a hassle.

9. Now Mary, that hurt.

10. I mean you lovin’ Brad, an all.

11. @Moe—

    A thousand pardons, kind sir.

    Remember, I’d still pay to have your coat dry-cleaned.

12. displaymarketplace.com is making me nutty.

    But I guess it’s better than Chinese and Russian brides.

13. Tom, you are so sensitive. I love you too.

14. another one: http://www.reimageplus.com/lp/slm/ind…..

15. I’m missing out on the lovefest, while being beaten by spam.

    I love you all.

16. This thread is getting mawkish.

    Look it up, guys.

17. @ Mary from Marin

    1. Excessively and objectionably sentimental. See Synonyms at sentimental.
    2. Sickening or insipid in taste.

    I vote for definition #2.

18. Her Hee , I love this place.

19. I haven’t had a pop-up issue, but I have been getting redirected to itunes, to some game app, while on my iPad, randomly, just by touching the screen while scrolling up.

20. We’re going to try and reconfigure the entire mobile experience.

21. Beginning about a month ago, to view IOTW I now have to accept cookies. Now I get popups and redirects.

22. got it twice around 7:34 a.m. eastern wednesday

23. Don’t know about pop-ups, but I’m getting HTTP500 half the time I try to go to iOTW. Only that site, too, no others.

24. I just got it from “displaymarketplaceDOTcom”.
    Tues, 9/3 8:17am eastern.

25. displaymarketplaceDOTcom at 5:30 AM PST

26. No pop-ups here…I’m in Macville like Chalupa.

    But, I often get “Error establishing a database connection” when I click on a post link.
    It’s no big deal…I just try again, and it usually works on the second try.

    And that “You’re posting too fast thing” can be a PITA, but I ain’t complaining.

    Try not to let it get to you, BFH!

27. dittos here with the “displaymarketplaceDOTcom” right now as I am typing. (8:30 CST)

28. The failure rate making a database connection is over 50%, like Norm says. And I just got a nasty full page pop up.

29. still getting the ‘display’spam @ 11.22 a.m. ET

    Burn these creeps with fire when you find them.

30. What exactly do these ad spammers accomplish? All they do is piss people off. Who pays them to do that, and why?

31. @Stirrin, they’re like telemarketers who call at dinnertime.
    Not a good strategy in my house.

32. I get no popups. Other things are gone too, but I would have to disable my things to see what they are and count them.

    Windows 8
    Opera 24
    PopupStopper free edition
    Ghostery

    Occasionally, connecting with this site seems more difficult than any other site I visit.

33. My ipad keeps throwing-up on my shoes. That’s why I don’t much visit here, anymore.

34. What JannyMae said…no big deal, a few finger swipes and the game app come-on goes on.
