Anyone else getting the ads from X10 as a POP
Behind when leaving the forum ?  I am !
Shame Shame X10 ! Even the [X]Close takes me
to the X10 ads  (ads.x10.com).  Have to left
click the border to close....   I don't mind
the e-mail ads but geeeezzzz...
not here too !

I get them too, and I work here. I'll see if
there's anything we can do about them.

Me to. Started not to long ago. For awhile
it was no popups! My XP Popup blocker shows
a waring. I think I can add X10 to the
forbidden list.

Not pop-ups, there are technically pop
unders. Suppossed to be less obtrusive

[Noam]

There is a cookie that controlls them. A
while back I did a search on Google, and
found the link. That link disabled the
popups for 30 days. But if you change one
value in the link, you can set that number
of days to anything you want. changing it to
3650 should give you ten years of ppup-free
X10 web surfing. I don't know if this
solution works any longer.

Pou Unders. That is what X10 lost a big law
fight in court and then declared bankruptcy.
That was a few years ago so things maybe
different.

A FREE solution is to go to www.Downloads.com
and look for Panicware's Pop-Up-Stopper Free
Edition..  It is a small download and seems
to block lots of pop-ups, unders and arounds
that try to get by the browser privacy
settings. You can enable, disable from the
task bar and has an uninstall. Has other
options and Worked with Mozilla.  Worked well
for me. No more annoying pop unders !

X10 even spams their own employees. This is
just a reflection of how hack X10 really is.

See X10, this is a thread telling you how
upset users are with this type of tactic.
Still, you put this malware out.

Way to win us over. Maybe they should move
the spam department into the AHP bug fixing
department and kill two birds with one stone.

Hooray for Noads.

Yeah Joe, Pop unders sucking bandwidth on
the forum is pure scum.

We are already carrying X10's water by
constantly informing confused CM15A users,
about all the "minor" instructions X10
appearently did not think users needed to
know and neglected putting in the manual.
Brian H has probably put instructions for
getting the CM15A to trancieve house codes
on the forum at least a hundred times. (Who
needs to know that?)

So now, when waiting for a forum download I
have to watch everything stop while a pop
under sneaks in. It is a real p*sser.

[Brian H]

I don't count the posts anymore.

[Noam]

try this link:

DAY=3000&PAGE=http://www.x10.com/x10ads1.htm

(remove the spaces that the forum inserts)

NOAM:

Thank you!

Not sure if it worked yet, but I got a
message saying it would be 30 days before
the next ad!

[SteveRF]

Noam, For those of us that block cookies,
that does not seem to work.

Panicware's Pop-Up Stopper Free edition
does seem to work for me but it is still
irritating to have a pop-under on this forum.

... and to X10...
We already receive X10's mass mailings EVERY
DAY, get Ads at the top of the forum and now
POP-Unders ON the forum...  and we sure don't
need this !  We are already customers.  We
are here to share experiences and get help
for your products.  It's like the store that
has a sales rep follow you around while you
shop.... If the business is TOO pushy we
start looking elsewhere...  VERY ANNOYING !

If any where near as much time and effort
went into AHP programming instead of to ads
and new ways to slip them in, just think....

[joe]

Its like talking to the wall.
