Pop ups over and over again.... crazy, only here. Click on the bottom, only to get the top one.. then again & again.

some of the adverts pushed on this site through doubleclick run observation scripts. they are annoying, but do no real harm outside of taking up memory.

Ah! I've had adblock on this whole time. Added ninjette.org to my whitelist :thumbup:

I don't see any of these on my computer. I do use phone 99% of the time.

I haven't seen any popups like that. All of the ads here are run straight from google adsense; I don't use any funky ad-providers. If any of the ads themselves do appear to be weird in any way, let me know and I can block that particular advertiser / domain from showing up again via the google dashboards.

I think his terminology is confusing you. He's calling warning messages from his browser (IE) and antivirus (McAfee) "popups." He's not actually getting pop-ups from the site itself.

This is caused by a mix of http and https references in page content.

For example;

If the url in the navigation box of the browser is https://www.ninjette.org
And there is a reference to a script, img or whatever that specifies http in the page's content
Then the browser will pop the message "show only secured content"

ie is a snob when it comes to https and content

I think the newer versions of IE aren't quite so annoying about those, but older ones can certainly be clunky.

I actually liked the warning, to me... it's like mixing business with pleasure.
