	Put an end to popups!

That's funny; I haven't noticed the logged in popups until a couple of months ago. I don't get them at every page, just every day.

Anyway, until you can sort things out with the ad serving companies regarding malicious code being installed on users computers, I won't be enabling popups. Truth be told, I only ever had them enabled for this site because I value the service you offer here. I would like to suggest that you find an alternate revenue source that will serve you well in the long term, instead of just getting what you can now. You and I both know that banners and popups saw their best days long ago and are only going to provide smaller returns in the future.

Have you ever considered implementing text ads? A website I frequent uses them and most of the ads are bought by the actual users of the site instead of some company selling useless crap. They are very unobtrusive and more difficult to block (not that you would even really care to). I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement them, since you don't own the code for these forums. The site I visit with text ads runs on an open source blog engine called Scoop.

I can provide more details and some links if you want them.

actually, this HAS been sorted out. there have been no reports of geting anything malicious after we said that it was gone.

we have used some text ads in the past. implementation is the most crucial part of them

we dont own the code of the forums script, but we do have the right to alter it for our use.

one way or the other, thanks, i'd love to see a good implementation of text ads

Depends on which post he is looking at, I have posted both about Xupiter and the time/date utility/gator. His quote was on the post about time/date etc.

Markos: The site is http://www.kuro5hin.org. The Scoop development site is at http://scoop.kuro5hin.org. If you want to look at how they have implemented the text ads you can download the source yourself and take a look at it. The main Scoop developers and the ones responsible for the official Scoop codebase have the usernames rusty and hurstdog. You can sometimes find them on IRC at irc.slashnet.org #scoop.

thanks LotC

the automated system to buy ads looks interesting. the perl factor though is a big turn-off

Markos, ad-aware hasn't found anything relating to xupiter, just the usual "F" spyware I get on a bi-weekly basis.

It has happened a few more times since I posted the pic, and I have to ignore them and let them clutter my system tray until I'm done surfing on poly to restart the computer (to avoid having to drain the battery).

Cookiecop2 can't seem to block this, as it blocks (or halts, I set it to ask if I want it) everything else. I do block a cookie from www.qksrv.net (Set-Cookie: IMP=53wo-9le2-kt05rl8-; path=/; domain=www.qksrv.net) . I forgot why I blocked this. I must have come accrossed it when I surving a site I didn't trust (like the first time I surfed poly a year ago ).

I hope this was of some help. As usless as I am to these forums ()

You would need the sept 24, 2002 update to ad aware to blast xupiter (and the hunt toolbar.)
