Overlay/ pop-up advertising on mumsnet

66 replies

JustineMumsnet · 11/05/2005 15:03

Hello all,
We usually say no to pop-ups on mumsnet because they're irritating but we've been offered a campaign to run for the next two weeks which is capped at one view per user per week. In other words, so long as you've not disabled cookies on your machine, you will only see it twice maximum in it's lifetime.

What thinks the mumsnet jury - can you live with it? How many of you have disabled cookies and will get cross? Can we accept and earn a bean or two or shall we deny and go hungry ?

Twas an error by hosts - apologies - they are now promising it is capped at once per week... do let us know if you're seeing it more frequently.
Cheers.

Accept.

simple answer - don't use IE - use something like Mozzilla - you'll never (well practically never) have to worry about annoying pop-ups/unders again

anorak · 20/05/2005 12:05

I've had it 3 times, but I didn't get it when I logged on 5 minutes ago.

jumped out of my skin yesterday and today, didn't realise i was so sensitive!!

tamum · 20/05/2005 11:28

I'm getting it every day too, and it evades the pop-up blocker.

MarsLady · 20/05/2005 11:25

I got blimming stitch this morning and I would rather not see him again thanks!

Gwenick · 20/05/2005 11:25

none here.......

well actually I lie - I got one yesterday when people were saying they were having problems with bouncing screens (or something to do with long threads) I briefly logged in on IE and got...........but haven't seen any with Mozzilla

dropinthe · 20/05/2005 11:23

I had my first one today-scared the life out of me as have had them blocked so long now!

WigWamBam · 20/05/2005 11:20

yes I got it yesterday and today too, will check that as it is definitely supposed to be capped at once a week.

I'm getting it once a day (yesterday and today) when I first log on, but it's not a problem.

wasgoingto · 20/05/2005 09:20

well I have had it twice - yesterday and today - does that mean I won't get it again. Its very annoying.

Willow2 · 18/05/2005 22:30

Do it.

pixiefish · 16/05/2005 22:10

no probs justine

katierocket · 16/05/2005 21:53

was going to say an emphatic NO but if only twice then fine. FEED MN I say

hunkermunker · 16/05/2005 21:51

Well, you know how I feel about pop-ups (because I mentioned it once and I'm sure you have nothing better to do than remember anything I say ), but since you asked so nicely, no I have no problem with it. Just don't go making a habit of it

milge · 12/05/2005 00:09

I have disabled my cookies ( sounds very interesting!) and it will truthfully bug the hell out of me having blocked pop ups go "ping" everytime i swap pages on MN but i can happily live with it for 2 weeks if it helps the poor church mice at MN towers. When is it going to start?
