I looked at your site originally at work and got a screen full of pop-up advertising, and windows that opened when I closed the pop-ups so naturally I got a little annoyed. (And I spent about 2 hours looking at other sites at work, yes, working hard :), and it didn't happen on any other site).
I just looked at your site again at home (where I have Norton Internet Security 2006) and there were no advertising pop-ups.
I apologise for my previous comments, and wish you all the best with your photography... (btw I love the one of the horse... )

Well, check so many times as you feel like, and if you don't trust the site, you simply don't open it. I am becoming tired of paranoid people.
I invite you to come, and you're welcome, but if you don't want to come, you are free.
That's all!

rarsin - 28 May 2006 02:35 GMT I visited your site and got a pop-up (actually a pop-under, even worse). Never again - plonked.

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > http://www.al-farrob.com > New photos every week Not an accusation al-Farrob, it was an advisory to check why there are pop-ups/pop-unders on your site. Maybe it's because of the counters, or the links to the top 100 sites etc. I'm not paranoid, I know they're all after me. :o)
Rather than fob people off, maybe it would be better to check out why people are claiming there are things happening on your pages that you don't seem to know about.
Cheers, Gryph

DogFart - 27 May 2006 22:23 GMT > well, if you see pop-ups all you have to do is clean your system, > because my site has none Definitely pop ups. I am running Firefox on Linux, got a pop up about some sh.t to help me stop smoking (which I don't do anyway).
BTW nice photos.

> Definitely pop ups. I am running Firefox on Linux, got a pop up about > some sh.t to help me stop smoking (which I don't do anyway). Firefox blocked a popup when visiting your page al-Farrob. My /guess/ is it is the javascript counter you have at the bottom which is launching the pop-ups.
A google for SiteMeter and popups has a few relevant hits.

I have links to sitemeter and webstats
I will deactivate one of them to see what happens
Thank you very much

Now the site has only static links.
Thank you very much an my apologies to everybody :)

I should have read all these follow-ups before posting my last reply about paranoia. See, I told you I knew they were after me!
Oh, and yes, I too like your photos. Cheers, Gryph

Noons - 27 May 2006 11:56 GMT > and new pop-ups every second... > > no thanks Al-farrob is not one of those, haha. You can go there without the slightest worry in the world: his site is safe from junkware. Check it "view source" if you don't trust my words.

Noons - 28 May 2006 07:38 GMT > Lol.... Ah yes: you see, I've got all popups turned off and most of the Javacript stuff disabled. So, even when external url popups show up in a site, they don't usually do much. Then again, I lose a lot of the web's "multimedia rich"-ness. Something I don't miss, anyway... ;-)
However, I know al-farrob is not the kind of guy to intentionally engage in that sort of marketing stuff. And his photos rock, have a look at them.

Noons - 28 May 2006 10:00 GMT > Prolific, too. > Try googling "al-farrob". Yes, he takes photos and participates in a lot of photographic places. Is that a problem?

If I google my name, *I* don't appear until page 5 or so. Al-farrob is the *only* result for the first few pages "his" google results.

Noons - 28 May 2006 13:47 GMT > If I google my name, *I* don't appear until page 5 or so. > Al-farrob is the *only* result for the first few pages "his" google results. It could be the unusual name, I suppose. Then again, mine is even more unusual and it shows a lot more... Aw bugger: it's google, who knows?

Thank you, my friend. I am starting to believe that I should change my nickname to Jack, or John, oh some of the kind so that some people (a few, in fact) can trust the site :)) Just kidding.
Um abraço

al-Farrob - 28 May 2006 00:00 GMT > Probably not such a bad idea for this Australian news group ;-) Well, for this time it was I who was wrong, and...
It was in this Australian news group, that somebody warned me of the problem and that somebody helped me to solve it, so.... I will not change it for now :))

Far more interesting than Jack, or Bill, or John, or Brad, or Fred. But not as cool as Hakeem or Manuel... (joke)
:o) Cheers, Gryph
