I'm getting pop up ads when I'm in Pet Talk. Is this Pet Talk or something to do with my internet provider? Any ideas?? These "exotic" women ads just don't seem like Paul and Karen to me! :o But it only seems to happen when I'm in Pet Talk. Of course, Pet Talk is just about the only place I go! LOL! Any ideas?

That's weird Logan... exotic women sure aren't typical choice for this page... I don't think it has nothing to do with Pet Talk. No ads here :)

No pop up ads here either - at least not on PT. Have you tried deleting your cookies? ;)

I get no pop up ads either and I visit both at work and home which are different providers so....

Well, I went somewhere else and they popped up there too! So WHEW! It isn't Pet Talk......somehow I knew that anyway!! But if Paul and Karen want to pop up a cute puppy or kitten sometime, I probably wouldn't mind that!!! LOL!!! :D

Never had pop ups while I've been in Pet Talk Logan. Poor You
:( Don's just said Adaware Software should solve the problem - it's free. You can get it on the net.

No pop ups here either. Thank goodness. They sometimes lock my computer up. It's aging and doesn't handle them well. I have had to sign in several times lately though.

No pop-ups here either. Like MOFF, I've been having to log-in more frequently again, too.

Good luck getting rid of those pop-ups. Hmm, do you think Butter or one of the other kids have been surfing the web and been someplace NAWTEE while you're out???

I usually get pop ads for casinos, but when I check my hotmail account. don't usually get any from pet talk.

   That's terrible! As usual, we have no ads on our website. You should run the free program AdAware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/aaw.html). The ad may be coming from a program on your machine. AdAware will remove it. There are a lot of slimy programs out there.

   We may run another ad for the Pet Psychic on Animal Planet in June.

Thanks for the tip, Paul. It seems to only be happening on my laptop (computer I use for work). Maybe that's the hint that I shouldn't be peeking in to the internet quite so often!! :o I'll check that software from the work machine in the morning. Thank you. :)

PS. I thought I knew you and Karen well enough that you didn't have anything to do with the Exotic Girls!!!! :D

You know, I've noticed a huge influx of these annoying pop-up window ads anytime I'm on the internet! I get a lot of the casino ones, and the camera ones...how annoying!
It's really annoying because I use the internet a lot for my job. Heck, our whole product is a web-based product! :rolleyes: It just irritates the heck out of me when I just want to see something and these d*** popup boxes cause everything to slow down! UGH! Surprisingly, Pet Talk is just about the only site where they don't pop-up for me! LOL LOL Go figure! :rolleyes:

I use a program called "Pop-up Stopper" works pretty good.

Go to search and type in pop-up stopper.

Seems to be a whole list of free downloads.

:D

Thanks for the tip on pop-up stopper! I'm definitely going to try it out! Anything will be an improvement from all these stinking windows that keep popping up! LOL LOL :D :D
