Yeah minimizing doesn't work for me, everytime I go to a new page it pops up again and makes itself the active window. Most annoying. I'll check back here in a few days to see if it's gone.

1) We're continuing to work with our hosts on this. Since we're not alone on this world and since things are not entirely on our hands, this isn't a quick process

2) As other have mentioned, if you dont close the pop-up and just leave it there, it wont open up or get back in front of you. This isn't the best solution, but it's something

thanks for your patience

Please remove the pop up. Minimizing it doesn't work for me either. I'm sure the pop up means extra revenue, but I'm sure that it won't be sufficient to make up for the loss resulting from people turning their java off before coming to Apolyton, or simply minimizing there visits here!

Bad idea, guys !

btw - I have minimized (not closed) the pop up. It reopens as I go from page to page.
... and isn't it about 3 am in Greece, Markos ???!!! Have you been out partying all night again ?!?!

Tired of ads?

Yeah I worked out the minimise solution myself but when I'm on my office computer, I still get a "do you want to download macromedia?" screen whenever the frigging UGO ad appears. Please remember those of us who use workplace or university terminals, i.e. are behind firewalls or on networks, cannot change settings or download software to fix this HORROR

Put an end to popups!

I know it's not your fault, guys, but you can add my name to the list of people who aren't at all happy about this.

I had kept the pop-up minimised so it didn't keep coming up, but that's not a solution. On my computer I decide what windows are open. It's the principle of the thing.

Currently downloading WebWasher...

Ming: minimizing the offending popup window doesn't work in Netscpe

TMM: disabling JavaScript means you need to type in your username and password whenever you post a message. Still, I see this as a minor evil compared to pop up windows

Proximitron also seems to be able to block popup windows.

Narck, do you still have the box checked in front of Standard Filter? If you also unchecked that box it won't work. So you should have checked Standard Filter and Popup Windows.

In order to have an accurate image of the issue, please send an e-mail to irex@gamestats.com stating your name, e-mail and the reason of your concern or the specific problem caused by this pop-up

if there are enough complaints from the whole network, something will be done, as it happened in previous occasions. if there aren't, it seems that we will have to wait until this campaign is over, as it seems that this is a special thing(it's the first time we ever had a pop-up)
