I use FF2.0 and havn't ever been at Imageshack before today. I can't see any popups anywhere. I use adblock, adblock filterset, flashblock, noscript, remove it permanently as the most important add-ons. Even with JS allowed I didn't get popups.

dunno if this helps u, but that's how it is anyway. :wink:
eh yes if you got all that stuff installed. What i said: i shouldn't even NEED a f*cking thing :x

:/ just a little annoyed thats all. People, please try the http://www.imgspot.com and see if its worth using.

He-he, you're right. Nothing should be needed but one big problem is that many free things on the net is payed by advertising. :?

I hate advertising but I love free stuff. That doesn't fit, well, huh. :roll:

sadly :(
However, there are good & bad advertising. The image-uploading place i just referred to has no popups and only family friendly, non-irritating ads.

Yep, in the fight to get customers to click, they forget that the service must stay usable.

> I don't f*cking understand why anyone use it!

For me, it's the easiest way to quickly host an image somewhere, without
needing to log in first (ie. PureStorage). It's quick and easy.

> Don't they see how annoying popups are?

Personally, I never even knew of any popups until I saw this thread. Are you
saying that viewing this -> http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=24795
is causing popups on your PC when you view that image? Because I don't.
Firefox doesn't even mention that a popup was blocked, so I don't know. :)

Edit: I just tried with IE and now I see the popups. Too bad for IE. :twisted:
Firefox (with AdBlock) has made my web browsing much less annoying. ;)

i use firefox 2.0, with no ad block addons or anything like that....
and google toolbar in FF doesnt have a popup blocker...

but if i use IE Tab on a posted image, then i get a popup....

No matter if people get popups or not; there are still ADS. The service i recommended has 0 ads for people looking at the images.
