I don't mean the silly tart at the top of the page but a box with a man and boy sitting on a sofa appearing across the message board everytime I change page/thread. Daisy

Sorry Helen - hadn't got as far as your thread because this flipping pop up is driving me nuts! I thought it was just me as I had pc problems yesterday so at least I know it's not my pc, but my security system is supposed to block all pop ups. Am completely pc illiterate so have no idea how to get rid of it, but assume as we all have them that it's something to do with GR? Daisy

LOL Daisy! Silly tart? Have you got the recipe, please? Methinks this is another of GR's ploys to get everyone on the Gen Board moaning, just to give them another excuse to close it down, like they threatened recently. I'm getting Autotrader pop-ups. Now you've been in my car - would I want to swap it? CB >|<

Morning Daisy and all. Only just logged on 15 mins ago. have had the 'autotrader' three times already. I too though my very reliable popupblocker had stopped working. Jenny x

Don't worry about my thread Daisy :o) It should have had a more obvious title! Have now discovered that I can change boards without closing the box and if I scroll down a bit I can't see it - that's the best I can do for now :o( In comparison the 'silly tart' is quite lovable! lol Helenxx

I've done as Alan said & used *(com) not *(co.uk).....it works....no more pop ups for me...... ....hope i'm not speaking too soon!!

Yes I'm getting the Auto Trader pop up, have just been on the F.R site it's on there as well. Sheila

I've sent GR an email as this isn't happening on any other site and is obviously something to do with them. It appears every time I change page or view a thread and at the exact moment that I go to select a tab. Grrrr! Daisy

Georgette Report 5 Oct 2005 09:50

I've done as has been suggested and changed to (.)com and it's much better :o) Helenxx

What I cannot understand is, why our popupblockers are not blocking it. Is it immune to blockers and is this a sign of things to come with all pop ups? Jenny. x
