pop-ups

I seem to be getting alot of pop-ups on this site mostly for Atkins products. I don't mind some advertising but it's getting a little old closing these out. Is there something I need to do to disable these?

The pop ups are driving me crazy too and they are all Atkins products. I usually boycott all products on pop ups because they irritate me. Possibly a bad marketing plan then hey?

Occasionally, Atkins Nutritionals runs a pop ad on our site, in exchange for a fee that helps us pay for our servers.

They should only show once per visit. If that's not the case, please let me know, and we'll check it out.

In the mean time, if you absolutely hate ads, please consider our ad-free subscription to the forum:

Hi Tamarian,
Thanks for replying
Tonight was the first time I saw them and they came up every time I switched to a different thread. Seems to have stopped now but it must of happened at least 10 times.

That's too much on a single visit, it's supposed to be once per visit. I'll see if we can get it fixed.

The ad has been suspended, until it's fixed to only show up once per visit.

O.k. I think it's fixed now. If you see the Atkins ad/popup more than once per visit, please let me know. Some details might help, as to how many times, and within how long a period, plus what PC and browser version you're using.
