getting pop-ups when voting

Post by ID10T »

I have noticed when doing my daily voting the past few weeks that i keep getting pop-ups when voting on Top100Arena voting page. It does not seem to be anything suspect or malicious but i was wondering if anyone else noticed this or if +C could possibly look into this. After typing in the Captcha verification word or number when you click to vote it opens a second page and I have to return to original page to click vote a second time to get the vote to go through. Anyways just making this known (hopefully it isn't just me). :mrgreen:

I've had the same thing for about a week I guess... So it's not just you. :)

Thats what they make adblock Plus for. Works on every browser and is free. I'd recommend installing it. You'll never have random popups again :)

That's the same site that had malicious advertising a month back, but the site admin was very responsive and the malware advertising was taken off very fast. As for popups, well it's annoying but still just advertising. Since it's one of the relatively important topsites i'll keep in the "bold" rotation (the randomly changing 5 big bold links that you need to vote on all for the vote to be valid).

thanks for the quick reply +C..and just another quick heads up ExtremeTop100 when i submit my vote i get a messege about them experiencing technical difficulties so i dont think they are getting any votes to count if you might be able to look into this..i attempt the vote each day with the others but get same message each time..i am assuming its the usual begining of the month bug some of the sites get but thought i might as well put it out there to bring to your attention.. thanks again :nod:

I see that the actual number of votes is going up on that site, so it's cool to vote. If the message persists for a few more days i'll let them know, but i have a feeling they already know (i think this site has issues almost every month hehe).
