IMAGE SHACK now supports POP UPs

[GSpector]

To All that use IMAGE SHACK to store your pics, please let me know if I am wrong.

I looked at a picture of WIP for the Queen Mary in SH3, now IMAGE SHACK has always irrated me by replacing my Forum page with some ad and a small POP UP. When I close all the Ad's, I find I now have to log back into SubSim.

Now it seem's IMAGE SHACK has gone way over board. I looked 1 picture of the Queen Mary and now my system is now Non-Stop blocking POP-UP's.

If you guys insists posting links to IMAGE SHACK for your pick, I will have to stop viewing them unless someone can convince me, this rapid POP UP problem is not related to IMAGE SHACK.

I think I blocked well over 100 POP UP's from the time I looked at the pick and posted this. I think in about 5 Mins.:stare: :hulk: :damn:

[GSpector]

I had to Re-Boot to stop the POP-UP's.:huh:

[danlisa]

:hmm: I have always had at least 1 popup when visiting imageshack but firefox always catches/blocks it.

What browser are you using?

[GSpector]

Internet Exp 6.0.

I was getting the 1 POP UP as well before but this time even when I was able to get back to SubSim, it was almost non-stop. My POP UP blocker was going crazy.

Once I rebooted, all was fine.

Get FireFox :up:
I use it and when using imageshack I only get 1 small pop up and nothing more.

Explorer is really open for pop ups and lets them go throught and easily infected with malware.

[GSpector]

That's why I use POP UP Blockers.

As I stated, my POP UP Blocker went crazy when I looked at the 1st link to a Queen Mary pic that was for a SH3 Mod.

The site was IMAGE SHACK.

My browser is not the problem, those rapid POP UPs were.

[danlisa]

I've just tried all the links for the RMS Queen Mary and I didn't get a single popup.:-?

You might try running a crap cleaner to get rid of all your cookies etc. You've probably got an adlink cookie or similar on your system which is causing the problems.

then I guess your computer is infested with spyware, ad-aware or something similar.

mostly they cause certain pages to create pop ups at the sudden.

I think its time to scan your computer with a good spy/ad ware scanner
delete cookies&temporarly internet files

as I visit imageshack.us
no pop ups appear
when I watch a picture hosted on imageshack.us
no pop ups appear
when I upload a picture myself
No pup ups appear

system:
@work

2k + AMD XP
256 Ram
Geforce TN 64

windows XP pro
version 2002
SP 2

Internet Explorer 6.0

I got a pop up blocker and Ccleaner no problems here.

[Rilder]

I use IE7 with Google Toolbar(has a Pop-up blocker) and I never get any pops, like others said probably spyware.

[GSpector]

Then it must have been some weird anomaly because I had no POP UPs prior to opening the link and none after rebooting.

I have 3 POP UP Blockers on my system to also include Google's. The count is 377 Blocked.

If it were Spy-ware, then every time I access the web to surf, I should have the same problem. I ran my Spy-ware detection software and it found no form of Spy-ware. My system appears to be clean.
:hmm:

[ReallyDedPoet]

Good to hear some folks are not getting pop-ups, that sucks.

I've been using ImageShack for a couple years now. I haven't had a single pop-up from them ever. My main browser is Firefox, but I have used IE6 with it before, too. I don't use any third-party toolbars or pop-up blockers, either.

[l3th4l]

no popups using firefox 2.0 for me :)

besides my trusted antivirus and ccleaner i have no other anti-spy or popup-blocker running. i guess i know my way around and catch anything spyware- or adware-like by myself. as for the rest:

i HIGHLY recommend two very handy firefox plugins: AdBlock Plus (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865) and NoScript (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722) :up:

NoScript might take some getting used to, but it's definitely worth it. I can't remember how many times it saved me from some malfunctioning or malicious code on a website...

[jumpy]

yup NoScript does the job, just remember to turn it off for your favourite sites/banking payment/purchasing stuff online pages etc.

Or you could just join Photobucket.com :yep:

[Jimbuna]

No pop ups with either FF or IE :hmm:

Imageshack is continually able to piss me off with how slow it is. I am seriously considering going to Photobucket. Are they faster than Imageshack?

[ASWnut101]

From my experience with imageshack and photobucket, it's (Photobucket) much faster, the site is more streamlined and updated for easier, quicker to use (Upload speed was increased), allows multiple uploads per time (upload multiple images at once), offers a max image size of 1024x768 (and that's the free account. The pay account offers MUCH better speeds, storage space, and image size), allows you to buy prints of your photos.

You can also upload videos (5min/100mb size restriction on free account), upload from a web URL (Upload your pics from Imageshack/any other site to Photobucket), and from your cell phone/mobile.

Free account slide-shows and you can create multiple sub-albums.

Storage space on free account is at 1 GB (Although Imageshack is unlimited, the 1 GB allows for MUCH less ads, absolutaly no pop-ups, and when logged in to your account, only has a "header ad" and two "unclickable" ad's centered around the upload area), and a maximum bandwith of 25 GB per month (I average less than half a GB per month, and I use it often).



The pay account offers No Ads, a 5 GB Storage space (for huge users), 2 MB image size, max image size of 2240x1680, 10 minute long video upload length, multiple support options, and an unmetered bandwith (unlimted).


Defenetly worth it, in my opinion.

Forking over some cash for webspace is not a bad idea. With hosting... well, you get what you pay for.

I went to sign up for Photobucket and tried to use my current screen name. It said that the name was already in use. "That's odd," I thought. My screen name should be unique enough that someone else won't have it. I started digging through my password book in my desk drawer and it turns out I had already created a Photobucket account a long time ago and just forgot about it. :damn::lol:

[Lagger123987]

Yay to IMAGESHACK FOR POOP UPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ha! I've had that happen before too. Quite agitating.
