Is Popup Ads back for Anandtech forum?

[xtreme2k]

I have notice a few...

 

[MrGrim]

Popups are awful

 

[Tominator]

They pay the bills...

 

[xtreme2k]

Running Mozilla with the 'image' blocking functions. Blocking most of my ads these days

 

[MrGrim]

I'm pretty sure they were doing as well before the popups.

 

[xtreme2k]

If you use IE

Put
*.link4ads.com
*.247media.com

into your 'restricted zone' list.

These site you might as well put in also
*.doubleclick.net
*.zdnet.com
*.pcmag.com

just to name a few.

Also, go to Privacy menu in IE6, use Advanced settings, and Enable all First-party cookies, Reject all Third-Party cookies.

Do NOT use their own policies because using their policy, even if those are 3rd party rubbish cookies, they will accept it as long as they have a compact policy statement, which basically nearly all the ad company has.

What are "ads"? I haven't seen one in a few months. It's cool having no annoying ads on your screen, no flashing and stuff, really.
