error page

[swedeheart]

For the past two or three weeks I've been getting an awful lot of error messages when clicking links on AB. A new window opens up saying "This is an error page. Please contact the system administrator." What's that about?

[Buenchico]

It's (almost certainly) about AB's techies playing about, trying to get a new window to open (for advertising purposes) when you click on links. As yet, there's no advertising to display, so you just see an error message.

I'm getting that too. I thought I'd disabled pop-ups, so perhaps the techies are trying to find loopholes... in which case I'll be asking Chris how to plug them.

[swedeheart]

Oh yeah that's right, I remember now, there was an ad in that window the other day - I'd forgotten. Thanks Chris.

(jno are you by any chance Sophie Tucker...? ;-)

Yip, it's advertising.

For the first time today, I've had full advertising pages instead of an error page.

[ChuckFickens]

Same as MWB...

I'm getting online bingo pages popup sometimes now instead of the error....

[HillyHugger]

Been meaning to post the same - I just get the error

[Robinia]

I get a combination of both error pages & advertisements ...it's annoying when you think you have them disabled.

[Mr Veritas]

I get the same as Robinia,
The ones that have something on them are eithe holidays,or insurance or ISP ads,or error pages.
They are a nuisance,because like Robinia my Pop Up Blocker does not recognise them (probably because it sees them as just another AB page?)

We could ask Mr Ed later this afternoon.............

I dont get any of that..?I dont use a firewall either..my theory is,let all the viruses in and they end up fighting each other.plus I charge them rent..wonders if my putta is the cause of all the problems AB has had..(:O)

[swedeheart]

No firewall...?!! Vinny... It's people like you who... erm... start swine flus and things...!

I'm not getting bingo pages Chuck. I think it's you who probably click on a lot of bingo links just generally and the AB ads pick up on that ;-)

jackthehat we were stood up weren't we...

Thanks everybody.
