DMD Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 From an internet security standpoint, forcing your customers to allow cookies from advertisers is a terrible recommendation. You shouldn't have to allow 3rd party companies to store data on your computer to stop them from bombarding you with ads. It seems to me that if Safari is blocking cookies from advertisers... it is doing the right thing rather than malfunctioning. I do not know for sure that is what happened, I am trying to think how she could get them when I never see them and I am not doing any ad-blocking. It certainly is not the intention to repeatedly serve that to the same person which is why I and I am gathering the majority of people have not seen it like that. When you are trying to determine the cause of a technical problem and there are different operating systems, browsers, processors, screen resolutions, etc,. etc,. it is not easy to do in all cases.

bushwacked Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 ....actually we get pop ups out the ass on the work pcs Yup, been getting routine Trend Micro Office Scan warnings on my work PC ; sometimes in spurts on every single forum link. I have been on all morning, do not use an adblocker and I have not seen one yet. I saw one a day or two ago. This has been going on for months and methinks the initial complaints were either deleted or locked. Link to comment
DMD Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 we have asked that the ad in question be removed. I have not seen one of those ads today, myself. On occasion stuff will come up and we get rid of it. Not sure what you mean by going on for months other than when there is a problem we try to resolve it. And we have not had a "popup" on our site in years far as I know. A popup opens a new window. I have never seen that in a couple of years. The problem I think is the interstitial that floats on the page and then disappears. As for scan warnings from your virus software, I am not sure what you mean. Link to comment

I believe these may act differently on different browsers. Link to comment
Czarina Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 I've been back using Safari without incident since last night. Yesterday morning was the worst it's ever been in terms of that survey box. Link to comment
