Say NO to free chat box ~ Cbox

25 Aug

Posted by Jayce as Ramblings

I am getting complaints from readers that there are pop-up / pop-under Ads on my websites like PrettyGirl2u and even this one. Huh? I don’t like pop-up / pop-under Ads. I will not put this kind of Ads on any of my websites. After checking with each of my advertisers… And I removed those suspected advertiser Ads. I thought there are no more pop-up / pop-under Ads. However, NO!!!

By the way, this is the example Ad that pop-up.

Finally, I discovered that it is the free Cbox that bring the pop-up Ads. Oh no… I did not know that because I have pop-up blocker turned on at Firefox and IE. I am sorry for the reader that doesn’t have this pop-up blocker. Therefore, I removed free Cbox. New chat box will coming out soon. Looking for another Ads free chat box currently…

Remember, if you even see any pop-up / pop-under Ads on any of my websites. Do let me know!!! Thanks.

Share and Enjoy:

Well, it’s FREE. They have to earn something, nothing comes really FREE anymore these days. Important thing is no more pop-up! Just implemented into my blog.

So far so good. No ads… I checked, some said got ads, some said it’s ad-free. But ShoutMix own site said the free version has ads but definitely not pop-up.

switch to Firefox Browser with integrated pop up blocking. until now i have never seen pop up on my cbox or others.

Yaya… Firefox will block the pop-up. However, some of our readers might don’t have browser with pop-up blocker. Therefore, not to use cbox with pop-up ads is better. Just my 2cent.

Hi~I had this problem too,
At first, I scan and scan and scan,
I blame the Twitter for this pop up ads,
but finally I found out that this ads is caused by CBOX!!!!!!
So I delete it and the pop ads stop!

Yaya… I also searched all around my code for it. Finally, found out that Cbox was the bad guy.

if the ones that charged were not charging an arm and a lag maybe people would pay for there chat boxes but have you seen some of there prices??? there outrageous i prefer to use the free ones then pay 6000 dollers for a damn unlimited or wait for 50 members 400 doller’s what are they thinking that the entire world has money flying out the ying yang there outrageous so yes people go to free ones regardless of the pop ups because of the outrageous prices the pay ones.
