Yeah i got a very iffy popup when i opened guru....something about chatting and had a not so sensored picture..........I normally just x out of the poker ads(Dont bother me)But this......thats not cool.

OK generalizations are cool and being vague may be the in-thing, but with that info we have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Would you mind posting the shortcut of the ad or popup and what site it represents? Thanks.

I *think* he's saying that s/he's saying a popup with a sexy naked woman poped up, and s/he x'ed out of it. Now s/he wants you to remove it.

Translating vauge english into plain english FTW! Lol.

I never get any pop ups from guru, then again I use firefox

. Try running a scan for some spyware, I seriously doubt guru would intentionally allow a pop up like that.

The way you describe it though sounds like a pop up ive gotten on some bit torrent sites. Is it one of those "meet these girls in your area today" ones?

If you keep getting the popup and you want us to do something about it (if it is stemming from our site) you need to PM me a link to the site in question or a printscreen of the ad itself. As it is, there is still no conclusive evidence as to what the popup even is, or whether it's from us or not.

Thanks

I've never gotten a popup from here. I have, however, seen the poker ads, and those come from imageshack, which is why I loathe it and never use it.

i normally use fire fox, but when using IE for one time, i too got a very inappropiate pop up. it was a p**n site advertisment im pretty sure, but since i x'ed out of it quickly, im really not sure.

*Inde* · Oct 03, 2006, 04:30 PM

I'll look into this, but unless someone can grab me the sreenshot of it and the URL, I haven't encountered it (and I've been trying) so don't know what ad this could be.

Malice Black · Oct 03, 2006, 06:30 PM

I've been posting here a year or so and never had any problems with such pop-ups...do a spyware scan.

I was on Mozzila early today, and was browsing around when I got this picture of a nude girl. I'm really sorry, but I couldn't take a screenshot because... my computer is in the living room and I daresay I can't take any chances. But There was a picture.

I Beleive I got that same popup.I didnt dare screencap that.......oh the horror of people finding that out.O.o

Wrath Of Dragons · Oct 04, 2006, 02:03 AM

the delete key works wonders..........
screencap/pm to inde/delete off comp.....AND recycle bin

Cant solve the problem is they dont know where its from.

thelessa · Oct 04, 2006, 06:44 AM

I have never recieved a pop-up from here. I use Opera and have pop-ups turned on.

*Inde* · Oct 04, 2006, 09:33 AM

You guys, I'm not even encountering a suggestive ad up top, let alone any nude pop ups. I can't even guess where this is coming from. If you can't screenshot it, and let me know the URL this is pointing to I can't resolve this. I've been trying to pop this up and haven't received anything.

yep one of the many reason I hate imagefack.....why do we need to have pics loaded someplace else and then have to click a link anyways? and those pop-ups have changed recently, started getting new ones besides the poker ads

Firefox FTW!!

Yes, Imageshack sucks, I hate the pop ups. Photobucket is much better and no freaking pop ups.
