Advertisement Pop-Up shock! "No ads"?

[Peter Dow]

Problem solved. Mods might as well close this thread.

CHILL OUT - PROBLEM IDENTIFIED - MODS MIGHT AS WELL CLOSE THIS THREAD THANKS!

Hi I just started my website up for the first time and to my dismay I saw a Pop-up advertisement appear - "popular screensavers" as it happens. :happysad:

Am I not on a "no advertisement" package then? :dunno:

I'm

http://scot.exofire.net

though I don't have the website ready as yet I would like to know the position with regard to advertisements.

Are there alternative options - such as designed in ads?

My site was hosted here last year but I can't remember the rules here or if I had ads last year?

But I thought I saw "no advertisements"

No advert appeared when I visited your site.
It's a possibility you may have adware, or the ad came from another site your visiting.

I have missing pages.

Sorry I didn't mean you to test the link I gave sorry. That wasn't where I saw the ad. No, that page is OK.

I think I see the problem but what I am guessing from you is that there is not supposed to be an ad if your website is normal, right?

OK but only part of my website is up at the moment and I have missing parts.

Check this link and you will see the ad

http://scot.exofire.net/forfreeset.htm

It looks to be popping up because on the forum webpage I have an <IFRAME> statement and the embedded page is not uploaded yet the missing page is being substituted by an advert page and that is what is causing the pop up.

OK I think I see the problem.

I don't think it is IDEAL to put in advertisements when missing pages are served but then I guess x10hosting have to make their money somehow, right?

Please make sure that you upload an index page to your site. If this isn't done within a week or so, you might get suspended for having no site.

EDIT: Sorry, my mistake! Welcome to x10hosting.

I still see no ad, even after turning off my content filter.

A frame should not in any way be responsible for causing popups unless the page its linked to has some kind of popup script.

I do see the ads.

Apparently the frame tries to call a page on x10 which does not exist.
The default 404 Not Found page on x10 does generate popups (which is why you should make your own custom 404, 403, 500, etc error pages)

Well I don't know why you can't see the pop-up - maybe you are suppressing pop-ups on your PC, or your browser is suppressing pop-ups.

Look try this -
http://scot.exofire.net/nosuchpage.htm

no such page, OK, so do you see the 404 Error / advert page - that also pops up an advert if your PC/browser is allowing pop-ups.

Thanks for your help guys - it is cool

That's an idea - my own 404 error page - but when I have finished uploading my site I don't expect too many 404 missing page errors so I am cool. Thanks guys.

Ah yes, now that you mention it I do infact have a popup filter on my Security Gateway Appliance... Lulz, my bad

No need to apologise

EDIT: Sorry, my mistake! Welcome to x10hosting.

That's an easy mistake to make because I am returning and restarting a site here after being away for a year or so.
