Bodo, is there any way of changing the pop ups that come on the website? Whilst I appreciate the need for pop ups to pay for the website there must be ways of "choosing" which pop ups you allow. More recently the pop ups that have come whilst logging on to this page have been quite graphic invitations to part with my money for favours of a sexual nature. Whilst I also appreciate that these sites are of considerable interest to many internet users I don´t imagine for a minute that users of this site are so keen. Certainly younger fans who click on the site will be astonished at the offer of a good time! Just as sinister is the wish of the pop up to install a dialer onto my computer. I almost clicked on yes just now. I have no desire to have a dialer on my computer. Certainly not for the content offered. Is there anyway for you to arrange pop ups from more serious companies?

I´ve not seen any of these pop ups but every time I´ve visited the site I´ve had a data miner ? install itself.

Hi, Julie. Did you manage to get tickets for the S&G manchester show? If so, I am looking forward to a stranger tapping me on the shoulder and saying..."hi, nice to meet you....here is YOUR hamburger". Seriously I hope you got a ticket, as they did sell out fast.

Yes. The problem with this is that it´s only available when using Netscape, Ineternet Explorer and the like. My browser, T-Online dosn´t support the pop up blocker. So I am left to Love them. In fact, I don´t mind pop ups too much. I appreciate that advertising pays for a lot of good sites. (Like this one!). However it´s the type of pop up!! Why can´t it be a pop up for Toyota, or Sony, or L´oreal!!?? Why does it have to be for porn!!!!?

Yeah, I´m a fourteen yr Old, and I must admit that I´m not fond of such things popping up like that. I´ve stopped going to the main page and just accesing the board by bookmarking this page so I don´t have to deal with them.

Sorry, I don´t see the pop up since a few day´s now.

The problem with these pop up´s is that every country get´s another one, so I only see them for Austria (and this always only was a adv. for a site with windows wallpapers)

Next problem is, when I change them all the time they bring some stupid pop up´s then I never get any money, because they only pay out when reaching 50 Euros (and I´m far away from that amount)

The 2 banners here on the bottom don´t bring much money because no one seem´s to click on them (except me and Ans I think (someone from the Netherlands at least))

Anyway, it´s really strange that they bring porn pop up´s because I can decide -porn yes or no - and I have clicked on NO.

I´ve checked it, there shouldn´t be any porn popup´s.
David, can you make a screenshot of this pop up and send it to me ([email protected])

I´ll conctact them and ask why the show these pop up´s.

If you know any good advertisement company I´ll change, but I´ve never found one with good payout rate´s.

BTW. I could turn off the pop up´s when at least 16 Cent come in with the 2 banners on the bottom. But at the time this is only between 5 and 10 Cent´s (So I´ll reach the payout amount of 50 Euros in 2 years... while the site cost´s 70 Euros per year)

Sorry, I really have no chance to see them.
What kind of pop up´s do people see from UK, Netherlands, France and Germany?

Hi Bodo, I don´t get any at the moment!! Although I did when I joined the site about 30 mins ago I don´t get them now. I didn´t want you to get rid of them altogether!! Just the porn. The porn site was for something called xxx-tray. (Or something like that.) Red background, black writing. The dialer was from the same. But nothing came up in the last few minutes.

Hm. I think they have changed something the last day´s.

There is a box where I can decide:
show porn site´s YES, NO, no

3 options, but 1 time no is lowercase. I have changed it to the uppercase NO ;-)

And I think they have changed something else, they only show you the add for 1 time every day (I think so)

Well you are a star for taking the time to look! I will see when I log on tomorrow if there is any change. Maybe I´ll get a pop up inviting me to have a cup of tea!! I shall let you know if there is any change. Thanks Bodo. And my girlfriend now belives me! She came into the room yesterday just as I was logging on and saw me looking at the porn pop up!! Took a while to convince her that I couldn´t help it!! But am I the only one?? Can´t be, surely.
