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.

eh yes if you got all that stuff installed. What i said: i shouldn't even NEED a f*cking thing

:/ 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.

Exactly! And thats why i complained. I find it very unusable and annoying!

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.
Firefox (with AdBlock) has made my web browsing much less annoying.

Testing




Too bad that site doesn't create thumbnails

Yeah thats the site i recommended. I know thumbnails are ok, but look at this beauty!

Could you try the one i suggested, like geotrail just did?

i dont get any popups on imageshack, not on the main page, not when viewing a posted image....
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.

Right-click context menu --> 'Block content' in Opera 9

tools, options, content, load images auto exception, the paste a domain in - FF
(or just right click the image, block images from x)

Looks like the latest 2 posters didn't get my point...
