Hey offshore only!!!
 

Hey Offshore only, how about doing something about that Bergeron Dodge POP UP!!! It's really starting to piss me off!!! JS :angry-smiley-038:

If there's going to be a ton of ads on here in their current format, what's the sense of purchasing an upgraded membership? I'm considering a platinum membership, but I have to say, with the ads as aggressive as they are, certainly taint the decision.

The ads seem as they have really stepped up lately? On my Ipad when I hit a thread i have to drag down past two ads to get to the thread to read it? Was never like that before. This is like watching HBO at home and having commercial breaks during a movie??

I AM a platinum member and i'm still getting the pop up. it pops up every time their banner is on a page im looking at. its really annoying.

don't cause a stink PROP...or this may might get proofed :lolhit: swamp people always causing chit!!!:lolhit::lolhit:

Haha! i dont mind the 3,479,652 banners i see every 5 seconds, its the damn big ass pop up that covers my entire screen even though i never clicked on the ad. surely OSO can limit that chit or theyll some of their readers will start to lose interest, like me, lol whereabouts in springfield are you??? im in terry harbor at the end of fairway, last house on left with the palm trees...

Well, i for one like having performance boating related ads, as it gives me some choices as to parts and service. My guess is, that a marketing group (the parent company of OSO) has seen the number of hits this website is getting, and now has decided to throw in all kinds of general ads (maybe Im wrong though too)!

There has to be a balance though...

Hey... They might have cut the ads back... Im no longer getting up front ads at opening a thread.

the only ad that ever popped up for me was the bergeron dodge ad. i havent seen the banner since i made this post. maybe oso wasnt aware there was a pop up feature in some of their ads and theyll delete the option. like i said, i dont mind the banner ads, theres some useful gear and info in those, i just dont like the pop ups being jammed down my throat.

I get a pop up for Berry Jam recipe if I mouse over the add at the bottom of my screen... Really annoying... Guess I have to be cognizant of where my mouse is on every page? Not user friendly.

But wait, I was told IT'S NOT HAPPENING....:whistle:

i thought it was because i was mousing over the banner ad too, so i made a conscious effort not to do so but the ad still popped up. it hasnt happened in the last 30 mins, maybe the thread got the ad pulled :ernaehrung004:

Here's what I get;

Screen Shots
 

Nice job on that screen shot! We'll block that one!

FYI, OSO does not allow these rollover ads; but we can only block them when you show us what to block. Can someone screenshot the Dodge ad and any others that are showing up?

Thanks,

Paul

lol . . . . so some how some where someone thinks thats gonna sell on here? . . . . brilliant marketing.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

LOL berry jam! this is offshore only, NOT pinterest! :lolhit:

yes, thank you paul! havent seen these kinds of ads ever on here. nice to know you guys arent allowing them!

There is one for nemours hospital also. Pita!

La riverrat, Pop Tart. Hope to see Yall Coonass's in the lake saturday. Artie

I think you guys must been visiting too many porno sites! That or smuckers.com

Is there anything going on this weekend or for the 4th???

I'm not sure. Just going to hit the sandbar. Blind river side.

i love the bayliner ads, im sure we are all gonna go buy one after seeing it lol

At least a bayliner is boating related..... I keep seeing ads on this site for crock pots, eye drops, and blue bunny ice cream. While I do enjoy a good blue bunny ice cream every now and then, don't need a pop up in my face to remind me....

More ad crap and popup
 

Keep getting a redirect to "FUDGENEWS"

And this...

Sorry...

"NEWSFUDGE"

I don't know why some guys have so many problems with pop ups. I browse this site 95% of the time with my iPad or iPhone and dont have any trouble. The rest of the time on my computer I still haven't experienced problems like the above post. Makes me think some folks have picked up some spyware or something of the sort

Probably your avatar attracts it.

I hate to tell you but the ads that are popping up for you are not the same other may get.... it all has to do with the cookies on your computer :eek:

Yes please make screen shots, if you can't post them because your not a paying member you can always email them to us.

I pay and get them. Knows your location since the ad is generated from a local car dealer.

Now what, genius?

It has Nothing to do with if your a paying member or not. Are you getting snotty with me, I'm just trying to help!!

:angry-smiley-038:

How do you do a screen shot? Computer idiot here

Why's it there, then? It's BS.

Thank you for the screenshot -- we will block.

Remember: we can only block with a screenshot -- a description of the ad is not enough, since we don't see the same ads you do ;)

On a PC, use the PRINT SCREEN button, then Paste (ctrl-V) into an email or post.

Yeah... I'm not sure what your complaint is either, but Heather is trying to help.

Bottom line: you will see ads whether you're a member or not, as we do not as yet offer an ad-free membership level (we will).

If you see these rollover ads (they're not really popups), screenshot them and we'll block them.

Fair enough?

Paul

Hit the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard, then open up MS Paint, ctrl V and the screenshot will appear, then save as jpg. You can also use MS clipper.

It is there to generate an impression, then those impressions are sold. There are multiple reasons some people see some ads and others don't. Geograhic is one, bahavioral is another and contextual searches through a search engine is another.
One way to stop it or slow it down is to clear your cookies. A cookie is basically a tracker that gets put on your computer's IP address after you visit a website and will follow you around where ever you go on the internet until its cleared, lots of cookies means a lot of ads can be served up... BTW this is one of the ways I make my living... lol

Concrete Guloshes for every one who gives the OSO
Mod. a Bad time !!!!!!!!!:angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038:


Jim

The oso mod can neither stop it or start it. The adminstrator could block third party ads but then as the ads go away so does the revenue!

Nice. Why don't you go open a can of GFY. Was that super helpful to work through this issue? :confused::confused:
