    again and again i repeat: members of AudioZ don't see intrusive ads like popups - only guests see that crap;
    AudioSEX doesn't use intrusive ads at all. So if you experience these problems, you must read this post :sad:

    So, my funny guys. I will make you fear now :) :
    It could also be that you got an adware/malware or a virus on your computer.

    install a decent antivirussoftware (i use MS Defender) and download Malwarebytes Antimalware (freeversion) and Adwcleaner. Then scan and clean them in that order: Adwcleaner => Antivirussoftware => Malwarebyets Antimalware. Maybe this helps. It can be that you have to shut down your computer several time to get rid of the unwanted programs/viruses etc. but it's normal. Because these ads i've never seen on my PC (win7 Ultimate and since last 3 months upgratetd to Win 10 pro).

    Okay now you admit having put this CRAP only recently.
    Because just days back it simply did never appear.
    Unpleasant to see you following *the mainstream*...
    ...again: it's your site and you can decide how to do it.
    Maybe you'll face less visits.

    @Kookaboo, i've used popups at AudioZ for the last three years. :yes: They are not visible for members - only guests get them. So once again, if you're experiencing this problem while you're logged in, you should check the post i've linked.

    And to make it clear, i've never used an adware or any codes that can be harmful to my visitors.

    but the popup ads may have dodgy scripts embedded in them? or ads for porn sites popping up?

    surely anything can happen, but i try not to work with advertisers known for adwares.

    and just what do you have against porn sites? :dont: :bleh:

    Saint, kook as much as i hate to say it :) , is right, whether or not popups have been used for a while, this BEHAVIOUR has only started in the last few days..since the site overload as far as i can tell..no change in setup regarding software.

    This must be why I'm having so many problems with Z and my mobile phone. I'm never signed in on the mobile. Will try that, thanks for the info.

    I have been noticing attempted pop ups also.. but my adblock seems to be holding for now, though I will give the
    ublock a try to see if it does any better. If you use flashblock for ff/wf it helps some too... so I am seeing flash buttons
    on the pages now ..

    There is "no free lunch" it costs someone (SAiNT ) to host the site, and admin costs, why should he be giving up his own
    cash to make this work for us ? he's already donated the time, I think we could all understand that..

    I don't like the ads and pop ups either.. they are just part of the reality, the only other option is what? paid membership to support the site? donations? so far no one seems to think these will work... so.. ad revenue it is.... just a humble opinion, thanks

    the option would be less intrusive adds, smaller...

    SAiNT puts a few adds, peeplink puts a few adds, everyone puts a few, and at the end I end up with the screen covered with adds and popups.
    There is no joy reading something on a site like that :dunno:

    the option would be putting a link "Click here for supporting AZ/AS" with a sript that opens a new window, and while You are downloading, You click on the link, and the script would run through a bunch of adds on that same window.
    When You think it is enough, You just close that window and averyone is happy.

    Sorry Saint but there is something else going on, even if you are signed in..

    I'm getting popups usually the minute I attempt to open a Peeplink... This with Adblock Plus on a Mac..

    The popups are the usual "Your Mac is compromised" or "You have won today's prize" type of thing redirecting to such sites as storage.googleapis.com (Drive by popups) or feedbackexplorer.com

    They do not occur every time... just every 4 or 5 times maybe.

    No other issues with any other site. These popups only occur when using AudioZ

    Just wanted you to know.. Im not complaining in any way but based on your earlier comments I shouldn't be seeing these popups if I am a member and signed in and yet I am.

    Cheers..

    Z...

    (Just saw your comment about registering with Peeplink.. will try that and report back if the behavior continues.. Thanks Saint!)

    have you noticed anything else strange on the site for the last two days? like being unlogged for no reason?
    - if you did, that makes a bit sense and you'll have to wait a few days for the fix, but if you haven't, it's very likely that this is your case. :sad:

    Yes, I have. Exactly that.. being unlogged every so often (Mainly from Audiosex) and i cannot work out why

    No worries anyhow.. As I said, Im not complaining, just trying to be informative based one what you said earlier :)

    Cheers..

    Z..

    I got that, thanks, but I was talking in general about an alternative way to generate some revenue... I would click on a link like that, and let it run when I am not working on a PC.

    oh, it's okay then. it's kind of complicated, but in a few words: you load different versions of cache - one from guests, and one - your own (as a member). AudioZ is currently moving to a new, much more powerful server and these problems should be gone in a few days.

    Also the site will work much faster :wink:

    thank you very much! i hate it when something's going on and members don't even bother to let me know :sad:

    unfortunately it never works that way :sad: there's this new thing coming from Google though. I'll try it when it gets released, but i don't expect much from it :sad:
