Hi,

I have members complaining of annoying popups. I never installed them. How do I remove them?

It could be your hosting provider if you haven't installed anything that would do that.

Its not vBulletin.
And theres no option in vBulletin standard that does that

You could have installed something or installed a simple template edit that could be doing that

Here's the view source of your popup I just got:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Advertisement</title>
</head>
<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!--

var xbuff = 0; var ybuff = 0;
if (window.innerWidth)
{
xbuff = window.innerWidth;
ybuff = window.innerHeight;
}
else
{
xbuff = document.body.clientWidth;
ybuff = document.body.clientHeight;
}
window.resizeBy(400 - xbuff, 400 - ybuff);
document.write('<iframe src="http://ilead.itrack.it/clients/Nedstat/c8806/popup.asp?campaignid=8806&websiteid=5374&scriptid=47588&subwebsiteid=AdS410100&viralref=0&kid=346483&bid=1238776&dat=410100&keyword=null" frameborder="0" width="400" height="400" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" noresize></iframe>\n');

I know it's not vBulletin.

I am trying to understand whether Smoothie's blaming vBulletin or not. :)

OMG!

I am so sorry Smoothie. I thought you were Kadi. And when you say "you are not telling the truth.." I thought you were blaming vBulletin.

I am really sorry again. :(

I am trying to understand whether Smoothie's blaming vBulletin or not. :)I've been here and with vB for almost 6 years. I know better. :)

I meant the original poster says he didn't install anything that would cause this and I say thats not quite right.

That's not true Smoothie. My forum is a disease support forum. The last thing I'd want to do is annoy my members (or myself!). I never noticed the popups cause I have a popup blocker. I wouldn't even know how to install them for that matter.

I would really appreciate it if someone showed me how to remove them.

Thanks for the replies...most of them.

Btw I'm a she not a he.

I have several hacks installed. Do they come with the hacks?

It looks like you have a lot of external Javascript on your page, one of these could be doing it:

Thanks Cap'n Steve.

I have their codes in the forum footer for forum stats.

Is that what most web stats sites do? Are there ones that won't add popups?

Gives good stats with out pop ups, just ads a little icon on the bottom of your forum(that is if you put the code in the footer template).

Oh and if you have cpanel on your server I dont really see the need for a stats service unless they help with search engine ranking at all.

Is there a way to know whether the stats sites are the cause or not?

I really don't want to remove them unless I'm sure.

The easiest way would probably be temporarily removing them one at a time to see if the popups stop.
