  • nar3024, on 11/14/2007, -11/+405Jesus... It seems to do it when you click an apartment. Yay for popup blocking
    • Dolomite, on 11/11/2007, -80/+5kinda funny, but it looks photoshoppeed . cool if its real though.
      • rspeed, on 11/11/2007, -3/+112Can you tell from the pixels, having seen many shops in your time?
      • linkinpark342, on 11/14/2007, -1/+38http://xkcd.com/331/
        • MtheoryX, on 11/11/2007, -2/+2Absolutely Perfect.
          • sanman, on 11/12/2007, -2/+20*****, you think that's bad? Try using the Digg comments in Firefox, and it freezes the ***** screen for upto a minute!
          • BearinG, on 11/22/2007, -1/+1Yeah thank god for Restoring Windows
        • CaseyThr, on 11/14/2007, -0/+7I love how, after reading every single XKCD comic, I automatically think of them in everyday situations and can normally guess what comic has been linked before I click the link.
          Haha! Right again!
    • takeda, on 11/10/2007, -1/+37Yay? That site doesn't seem to contain spam.
      What next? To view the picture, now he'll sellect open all 146912 popup windows?
      • syncosoftkerala, on 11/10/2007, -0/+24The script must be retrying to open a popup, that many tries.
      • xGrill, on 11/10/2007, -0/+19you can just type in the address to see if it is real or fake right?
        • mtekk, on 11/09/2007, -0/+3It's the blueprint/drawing that when clicked has the broken script that tries to relaunch a pop-up, I had Firefox counting as fast as it could and firebug getting ever more annoyed with scripting errors.
      • bbardlbradd, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1My exact thoughts after visiting the site myself. I'm using Safari, but I doubt for some reason (probably from experience) that Safari is better @ blocking pop-ups as Firefox, but then again, Safari doesn't even tell you when it's blocked a pop-up.
        • ubergeek09, on 12/24/2007, -2/+1Safari is horrible, what are you smoking?
    • stonedslacker, on 11/14/2007, -8/+20Can someone try it without pop-up blocker enabled and let us know what happens. I can't afford to risk my computer hanging right now coz have too many unsaved things and tabs open.
      • UNL1M1T3D, on 11/14/2007, -1/+496I'll give it a whirl. If I am not back in 20 minutes, avenge my death.
        • akkibaba, on 11/14/2007, -1/+93Thank you for a shining moment of hilarity in my boring work day.
          • UNL1M1T3D, on 11/14/2007, -0/+87I do what I can. I must have did something wrong cause it only loaded one pop up. Meh it was fun while it lasted.
      • justinjacobs, on 11/13/2007, -15/+8I just tried it in Firefox 2.0.0.8 with pop up blocking off and it only opens the one popup of the selected image. Maybe it's because I'm using a Linux build of Firefox?
        • ayeroxor, on 11/09/2007, -41/+16That would be why you're gay, but I don't think that affects the popups...
          • honeymustardn, on 11/11/2007, -4/+22Oh *****, using Linux makes people gay?
          • zwaldowski, on 11/09/2007, -1/+18@honeymustard: So Microsoft says.
          • ayeroxor, on 11/09/2007, -1/+2Sheesh. What's with all the buries? I never said there was anything *wrong* with being gay.
      • jmreid, on 11/09/2007, -0/+9Here's what I got after allowing popups in Camino on Leopard:
        http://picboost.com/upload/447_Picture 1.png

        That's right... a shadow so dark, it consumes all.
    • UNL1M1T3D, on 11/10/2007, -1/+52Attempting it as we speak. The pop blocker is tallying up all the pop ups and then I am going to allow pop ups for the site.
    • Eleniatari, on 11/13/2007, -0/+125Shall we note how UNL1M1T3D is still gone after 18 minutes of loading popups. I fear the site ate him.
    • nickerbocker, on 11/09/2007, -7/+2It took me some time before I saw what the picture was all about.
    • TequilaCollins, on 11/10/2007, -0/+11541634 pop-up blocked until it finally loaded. Cool!
      The site's script seems to be fixed now. :-(
      • dragon76, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Not when I tried it, the number just kept rolling.
      • bbardlbradd, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Same here, I just tried it, it's not fixed yet.
    • TimeIsTissue, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Funny. I just went to it, and it said there were no pop-ups on the page..
    • CaseFaceMcGee, on 11/08/2007, -0/+0If you have javascript turned off, it doesn't even try to open a popup, it just loads it in the same tab. Just shoddy programming, from the look of it...
    • Durinthal, on 11/13/2007, -0/+8The kitchen in 404 is pretty nice.
    • iNaya, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2Turned off FireFox popup blocking, and it only popped up ONE window when clicking on a photo. Turning popup blocking on made Firefox think it had blocked increasing amounts of popup windows.
  • smurfz, on 11/10/2007, -11/+82Wow! That's insane!
    • Davisourus, on 11/09/2007, -1/+22Yeah, it's as if someone took source code to free porn as the framework for a virtual tour?
      Next step: virtual tours of porn studios?
    • spacebar14, on 11/14/2007, -0/+27Its because he was the millionth visitor. Duh!
      • rome747, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1It's actually because he was the 146,912th visitor.
    • RemuS02, on 11/12/2007, -7/+0Yep, however Fx si cooperating on those "Pop-ups", JavaScript is not handled properly. Doesn't happen in Opera for instance.
  • mojaam, on 11/14/2007, -110/+13Why not just go directly to the site shall we: http://aparthotelmontreal.com/VirtualtourPhotos.ht ...

    Hmm, nothing happened, Photoshop or Glitch or your other tabs?
    • nar3024, on 11/12/2007, -7/+50Did you read my comment? You have to click an apartment listing on that page, then they go crazy.
      • mojaam, on 11/12/2007, -75/+3No I did not read your comment, am I required to? And I did click an apartment and it took me to it's Virtual Tour, it's when you click one of the photos the pop ups arises. All of this could have been put in the description. In any case, the people who made that site must not know javascript and probably messed up a for loop.
        • nar3024, on 11/09/2007, -3/+37Yes, its probably a messed up for loop, but thats why its called "Thank You Firefox!" rather than "HAHA THESE PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF POPUPS" most likely.
        • Dragonskies, on 11/13/2007, -3/+42In IE 6 you get only a single popup with a picture. I think it's clear what browser they did their development testing in. ;)
        • DiggzDE, on 11/09/2007, -1/+2You still lose. What is the point in arguing against a fact?
        • Pritchard, on 11/09/2007, -1/+2You're an idiot. Look at the image next time, and LURK MORE.
      • Psythik, on 11/09/2007, -2/+13Hmm, I clicked on an apartment listing, and it only opened one popup with a virtual tour of the place...
      • Audacitor, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3Okay, I provoked 1024 popups, and then it got through. Interesting number to konk out on. My platform is a PPC G5 Mac running Leopard. Any insights?
        • mysteri0usdrx, on 11/12/2007, -1/+4it clearly means you are inferior to those exceeding 1024 popups.
    • biff198, on 11/08/2007, -3/+8Wow... site's going down...
      • Sabretou, on 11/12/2007, -1/+12Now that's what I call a Digg Comments Effect.
      • Klink258, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Justice.
        Shoot, accidentally dugg nar3024's comment.
    • DiggzDE, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Damn. I clicked it but this computer had pop-ups unblocked for some reason. :( Bad idea.
    • M80mayhem, on 11/09/2007, -1/+2Holy *****! There it goes....
  • fLUx1337, on 11/13/2007, -4/+132Nope, it works, opens about 4 popups a second.....

    But if you unblock it, don't expect your browser to explode, only opens one in the end....
    • EntropyFan, on 11/13/2007, -4/+50So if you went there with IE6 (and no popup blocker like the google toolbar) you would get only 1 pop up window?
      Sounds horrible!
      • boiboi, on 11/09/2007, -0/+4Firefox cures herniated disk!

        I take care of stuff like that in Task Manager.
    • FutureGuy, on 11/14/2007, -10/+53And that's exact how it works in IE too, good try though.
      Next FireFox saves the world, solves global warming and cures cancer.
      • drakenlot, on 11/09/2007, -3/+38FireFox has done all that, as well as killing Hitler and Hussein. Microsoft just keeps it from public knowledge because of the problems they'd have.
        • counterplex, on 11/09/2007, -1/+24You forgot Firefox is also responsible for curing world hunger, malaria and AIDS :)
          • UNL1M1T3D, on 11/09/2007, -1/+17What can't that little fox do?
          • WiZZLa, on 11/10/2007, -2/+41It can't stop being a pig and eating memory & resources?
          • mrFREEZE, on 11/10/2007, -12/+3Too bad you're still running a Pentium I with 16mb of RAM. My 3+ year old computer is fine with it.
          • TheMidnight, on 11/09/2007, -4/+4Sounds like Firefox has been taking cues from Chuck Norris.
          • jspegele, on 11/10/2007, -0/+11It can't load DIgg comments
      • liquidjamm, on 11/09/2007, -1/+6Firefox for President?
    • wiirdo, on 11/14/2007, -2/+24If all 1100+ diggers went to this website, that's 161 million popups.
      • jhshukla, on 11/09/2007, -2/+33161 million popups BLOCKED.
        • SteveMax, on 11/09/2007, -0/+8If each request took them 10 bytes, well... Do the math ;) I I pity them for their next bandwidth bill.
        • GeForce8800GTX, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1I ran a DU meter on it and the connection is inactive. But the site... Oh god :)
      • digggggggggg, on 11/09/2007, -1/+5FCC: We got 20 complaints last night about the David Hyde Pierce incident. As you all know, one complaint represents one billion people. Therefore, twenty billion people were offended by the David Hyde Pierce incident.
        • mitchlourens, on 11/09/2007, -1/+1that is so many g's in your name, my eyes get lost trying to count them
        • StealthTomato, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Yeah, there must be like, 10 million g's in your name!
    • bagelpirate, on 11/09/2007, -4/+4Works flawlessly in Opera.
  • typicalusername, on 11/14/2007, -7/+270Hot damn! Someone call teh interweb police on this one!
    • mufasa, on 11/09/2007, -1/+21Nah, call WebSheriff instead. He's badass.
      • typicalusername, on 11/09/2007, -0/+4Does he have tattoos on his hands, one says "pain" and the other says "justice"? Does his 6 shooter spew out bullets of judgment?
    • mattyz0r, on 11/11/2007, -4/+5Why not just call the creator of the internets Al Gore?
    • cyberoidx, on 11/09/2007, -1/+3I dont think thats needed. Comcast is probably on it already.
  • Fi9nutz, on 11/09/2007, -8/+23holy eff
  • Scopitone, on 11/13/2007, -13/+179No...that's not true. That's impossible!
    • cyranthus, on 11/12/2007, -15/+56this is not the appropriate time for a star wars references
      • dicerandom, on 11/10/2007, -2/+59It is *always* an appropriate time for Star Wars references.
      • anononon, on 11/09/2007, -0/+22Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
      • bbardlbradd, on 11/09/2007, -0/+8True...

        But still, our unprotected browsers can't repel pop-ups of that magnitude!

        IT'S A TRAP!!!
      • mike81890, on 11/09/2007, -2/+1I love digg and its community, but this thread is over. I HAVE the highground!
      • Matri, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2Do not underestimate. The power of your denial is insignificant compared to the power of Digg users.
        • cyranthus, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1oh i wish i can dig you twice for that!
    • steelclash84, on 11/12/2007, -4/+156This is not the thread you were looking for...
      • Matteos, on 11/09/2007, -0/+21This is not the thread I was looking for...
    • biff198, on 11/09/2007, -9/+25That's unpossible!
      • breckinshire, on 11/09/2007, -3/+21One of these things is not like the other... One of these things doesn't belong...
    • Sabretou, on 11/09/2007, -2/+51That's no pop-up, that's a space station!
      • kevyn, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2i see you've played spacey poppy before
    • scooterfish, on 11/09/2007, -3/+24Inconceivable!
      • scyon, on 11/09/2007, -0/+14I do not think that word means what you think it means.
      • bbardlbradd, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2IMPROBABLE!
      • Goombellaofgoom, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Haven't you people ever seen The Princess Bride? I'd say scooterfish used the word just about right.
    • SkippyDoorknob, on 11/09/2007, -13/+6I'd buy that for a dollar!
    • freshgrease, on 11/09/2007, -2/+9Give in to your anger......
    • basic0, on 11/09/2007, -22/+5Search your heart, you know it to be true...
      • basic0, on 11/09/2007, -4/+2Sorry, "feelings". For a minute there I forgot who wrote the dialogue for A New Hope.
    • FatherVic, on 11/09/2007, -3/+32..search your feelings.. you know it be true...
    • atonement, on 11/09/2007, -1/+33IT'S A TRAP!
    • taiyed17, on 11/09/2007, -9/+2its a trap!
    • TheMidnight, on 11/09/2007, -1/+44Stay away from greed, for greed leads to advertising, and advertising leads to pop-ups, and pop-ups lead to the dark side.
    • Chronicgaming, on 11/09/2007, -1/+6You're right. It's not so much a pop-up... As it is a dodge ball cannon!
    • kuuhaku, on 11/08/2007, -1/+1No....really.....I am your father!
    • ticketmack, on 11/09/2007, -5/+2OBI-WAN: I have a bad feeling about this.
      QUI-GON: I don't sense anything.
      OBI-WAN: It's not about the mission, Master, it's
      something ...elsewhere ...elusive.
    • grason1129, on 11/09/2007, -1/+0Darth Vader: I have you now!
    • skyfox2k, on 11/09/2007, -7/+2Shut up you nerds! The first few were funny, the rest of you are just nerds. Just nerds!
      • bbardlbradd, on 11/09/2007, -0/+8I find your lack of faith disturbing...
      • cyberoidx, on 11/09/2007, -1/+1since when are star wars fan's nerds?

        nerd [nurd]
        –noun Slang. 1. a stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person.
        2. an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit: a computer nerd.

        (dictionary.com)
    • JustAboutReal, on 11/09/2007, -0/+5. . . just... nerds?
    • johnnysaucepn, on 11/09/2007, -1/+1STANDARD NERDS!
    • Gozchev, on 12/09/2007, -0/+0aiming to help make this the longest reply chain
  • drakenlot, on 11/13/2007, -18/+6Hmm, I'm on Firefox, and it worked perfectly fine for me, and that's after clicking on a pic.

    Either they read Digg and fixed it, or someone doesn't have Quicktime.
    Then again, good for you for not having Quicktime, my college comp's have it.
    • drakenlot, on 11/09/2007, -7/+3EDIIT: I missed that the yellow bar was disabled, my bad.

      Some pics work, some don't.
    • digitalpencil, on 11/09/2007, -2/+7what's wrong with quicktime?
      • drakenlot, on 11/09/2007, -5/+4It's considered ad-ware by many security companies due to the amount of crap it adds and the fact you have to jump through loops for it disappear.
  • kreatre2007, on 11/09/2007, -44/+6Ha ha... That's so typical. Who should we blame more? The makers of web browsers or websites? I've been using Safari on my Mac for a long time now. I love the pop-up blocking feature. I wonder why Micro$oft took so damned long to offer this feature in Internet Exploder.
    • techresearcher, on 11/09/2007, -6/+26Ok. Shut up about ranting on Microsoft. Just cuz you like your Safari doesnt mean you have to blow your ass at every other thing. If you'r happy with what you got, fine. You just dont go screaming about how everything else sucks.
      • drakenlot, on 11/09/2007, -10/+3'You're'.

        Close, but no cigar.
        • GeForce8800GTX, on 11/09/2007, -0/+4He said 'you'r', which is merely missing an E. It HAS the apostrophe. I dugg him and buried you.
    • rchargel, on 11/09/2007, -1/+9$top u$ing the dollar $ign for the letter 'S' damn it. Yeah I get it, Microsoft has a lot of money and they're greedy. How clever of you, have a cookie.
      • SKick, on 11/09/2007, -0/+3Haha, I get it. You infer that he isn't original, and then you offer him a "cookie", which is truly original. Right?
        • mysteri0usdrx, on 11/09/2007, -0/+6Haha, I get it. You make a sarcastic remark to another poster on digg, which is truly original. Right?
        • GeForce8800GTX, on 11/09/2007, -2/+2Haha, I get it. You call out someone for being sarcastic on digg, which is truly original. Right?
    • blindmelon1, on 11/09/2007, -2/+4Safari *****' blows man, I installed Firefox on my girlfriends mac after using that Safari for a couple of days... What a POS.

      Oh and the dollar sign thing......what year is this?? 1996? Am I listening to Ace of Base? Typing on Mirc?
      People got the ***** with that long ago........

      Im not all for Microsoft or anything, some of their products work well, others dont....But did you know Bill Gates is one of the worlds biggest charity donors?
    • mysteri0usdrx, on 11/09/2007, -0/+6$teve Job$

      There, I can do it to.
    • bbardlbradd, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1I'm probably considered to be a "mac fanboi" but I do not submit to your second rate attempt to kick a Microsoft when it's down. The problem isn't M$ & the solution isn't Apple, I mean, not in this particular situation. Safari may be cleaner and faster, but firefox blocks pop-ups a lot better, and it tells you when it's doing it. Safari doesn't.
    • TheFraction, on 11/09/2007, -1/+1Whoa, I typed M$.

      I AM SO ***** HILARIOUS.
  • djAnakin, on 11/09/2007, -32/+20IE should just concede to FF. Just quit MS.
    • firechill, on 11/09/2007, -2/+27acronym overload
      • Dokument, on 11/09/2007, -6/+3wtf r u tlkng bout?

          • TheMidnight, on 11/09/2007, -2/+4Administrative Command, Amphibious Forces, Pacific Fleet Subordinate Command (US Navy)

          • Hollic, on 11/09/2007, -1/+4I prefer timusca's version...
    • LowFuel, on 11/09/2007, -2/+1AO
    • koweja, on 11/09/2007, -6/+12Why? Because IE6 and 7 have pop-up blockers? Because the site works properly in IE so you don't get a humorous overload of pop-ups? Because MS makes the dominant browser (which is what Mozilla is competing for, not to see who can block pop-ups), or because people design and test sites around IE?

      Firefox may be better than IE, but a single site not working properly in FF isn't exactly proof of that.
      • Elranzer, on 11/10/2007, -3/+4IE is only the default browser in Windows. The rest of the world uses Firefox.
    • Ramble, on 11/09/2007, -12/+6FF should just concede to Opera. It's obviously a superior browser.
      • Hoogs, on 11/09/2007, -3/+5I hate Opera. Tried it once and it seemed too bloated for me. Works great on the Wii though.
        • Bonekhan, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Too bloated? Firefox without the extensions is worse than Opera; Firefox with extensions is bloated and slow, but feature-ful. Just depends on what you want.
  • PwncakesFTW, on 11/09/2007, -24/+5Can someone post the link so I don't have to type it in?
    • jikai55, on 11/09/2007, -2/+25You could have typed it in by the time you said that.
    • kiiwii, on 11/08/2007, -3/+18Do you realize you just typed 56 characters asking for a 60 character link?

      • spooq, on 11/09/2007, -0/+15He's still ahead on that deal.
      • hasansexy, on 11/09/2007, -2/+11I don't understand people like you, why would you count his post? WHY
        • koweja, on 11/08/2007, -0/+9C&P into a word processor or many text editors, click "word count".
          • stonedslacker, on 11/09/2007, -1/+3That might still take longer than a manual count depending on the user's counting aptitude, his familiarity with the location of the word count parameter in his text editor, his computer's configuration etc.
          • drakenlot, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5Too many If statements! My mind has to reboot thanks to you.
          • jspegele, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1but, but ... WHY???
        • surfing, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Here's an autohotkey script to count the characters on your clipboards. I have mine hooked up to [Window key] + [4]:

          #4::
          Toolscount:
          StringLen, howmany, clipboard
          msgbox,,character count - %title%, Number of characters on clipboard: %howmany%

          Gosub, wait
      • kiiwii, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Well, I counted http://, so if you really want to be quick you could leave it out and get to the page in 53 characters, less than the 56 he typed ;-)

        I've spent way too much time on this subject. Less than a minute total, but that's still a minute too long.
  • Quaterni0n, on 11/14/2007, -6/+603WTF! It's not even a porn site.
    • Pssdoff, on 11/09/2007, -2/+84If it was he would have missed out on 293,824 boobs...
      • drakenlot, on 11/09/2007, -0/+22Add three zeros to that and you've got yourself a deal.

      • arjie, on 11/09/2007, -1/+67Man, I am so glad that wasn't an odd number.
        • Caluen, on 11/08/2007, -1/+6Why if you double an uneven number, you get an even one!

        • burnttoast11, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1But some are probably just close ups of vaginas, so that lowers the boob count...
    • jikai55, on 11/09/2007, -3/+40There's actually a market, though extremely limited, for apartment porn. Some people like to watch the open curtains.
      • drakenlot, on 11/09/2007, -2/+28Oh yeah, open those curtains... Yes! Yes! Oh god yes!

        Oh, you didn't just open your door did you? You naughty building you.

  • jikai55, on 11/09/2007, -6/+17That's surely not the way to get me to buy an apartment.

    Yay for Firefox.
    • OrangeTide, on 11/09/2007, -0/+8Rent this apartment or ELSE!
      • frostieDude, on 11/09/2007, -0/+5If you rent the apartment, the popups stop. Maybe.
    • RemuS02, on 11/09/2007, -5/+3Well, in Opera, there are no pop-ups at all. Those pop-ups are generated by Fx's corrupted JavaScript engine.

      Peace
      • BurnedKirby, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3Java scripts are part of the website itself. Firefox only runs those scripts (if it allows them) to view parts of the site.
        • bbardlbradd, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Still, I think the point is that it only occurs in Firefox. I have tried a number of Mac browsers, the only one that even receives a pop-up other than firefox is camino, and it's basically just firefox w/ cocoa.

          It's like why is firefox getting a standing ovation for it's own flaw (or rather incompatibility with a website).

    • surilamin, on 11/09/2007, -1/+23Thank-you, the only reason I skimmed through the comments was to find a link.
    • skyshock1, on 11/10/2007, -2/+147LOL! Digg just solved the pop up problem by incinerating their site.
    • mahdaeng, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2I'm surprised you didn't just spell it, "theirselfs".
    • seanc6610, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2it worked! 2000 blocked popups and counting.

  • FeartheKnighted, on 11/10/2007, -13/+111Actually, if you go the page and click on a picture in IE6 it just opens in one pop up...as it should. So wipe that smug grin off your face.

    • coollettuce, on 11/09/2007, -3/+6And kudos to the firefox team because I tried it in firefox 3.0b1 and it opened up in one tab as it should.

Who knows enough to be his teacher or counselor? 14 Has the LORD ever needed anyone's advice? Does he need instruction about what is good or what is best? 15 No, for all the sites of the internet are nothing in comparison with him. They are but a drop in the bucket, dust on the scales. 22 It is God who sits above the internet of the earth. The trolls below must seem to him like spam! ... 23 He judges the great sites of the world and brings them all to nothing. 24 He clicketh down upon www.aparthotelmontreal.com via Win98+IE5 with so many uber power. 25 End of wr0ld (see unto thou eyes "The Book of Revelation")

It frustrates me a lot switching between Windows and Ubuntu. I edited an XML file to make some custom keybinds, but they got cleared when Firefox updated itself. Seriously!

    • drakenlot, on 11/08/2007, -1/+10It works properly in IE, it was meant to show a series of images to scan an area, but Firefox treats each image as multiple pop-ups.

      It's bad coding on the web-site, why they didn't stick with a short video clip I'll never understand.
      • koweja, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3Funny thing is, they probably thought they were making it more accessible by doing it this way.
    • surilamin, on 11/08/2007, -3/+6I did and nothing happened. IE7 is actually pretty decent. I use and add-on called iepro (ie7pro.com), that blocks ads, and ie7 has a built in pop-up blocker.
      • drakenlot, on 11/08/2007, -2/+2Tis why the description stated IE6, not 7.
  • Rotzooi, on 11/08/2007, -0/+7Seeing that 'blocked' counter run is hypnotic.
  • kris33, on 11/09/2007, -0/+9Something is really strange here. The pop-up blocker reports that it is blocking A LOT of pop-ups, but you'll only get a single one when you disable it.
    • RooDoG, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3And its a Pop-up of part of the same page I was just at....
    • spyrochaete, on 11/09/2007, -0/+8That is strange! It's almost as if it stops trying to show that one popup once it's currently being shown! What a brain buster!
    • drakenlot, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3it was meant to show a series of images to scan an area, but Firefox treats each image as multiple pop-ups.

      PS: I'm not saying that again, I swear.
    • koweja, on 11/09/2007, -0/+14You disabled your pop-up blocker just to see what would happen? You, sir, are the hero of Digg.
    • ThreeDee912, on 11/09/2007, -0/+6The popup script probably had some 'error handling' in case the popup didn't open. I don't know JavaScript, but it would be something like this:

      on doPopup()
      create new "window" element (5,5) //make a popup window
      on error //if the window didn't open
      doPopup() //try making another popup window
      end doPopup

      which would make the popup script go into an infinite loop.

    • drakenlot, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5I'm sure you can tell from the pixels and the fact you've seen plenty of shops in your time.
  • atb112, on 11/12/2007, -3/+19It would be funny if this turns out to be a bug in Firefox since only one pop window opens in IE
    • IceZZ, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Actually, I just tried it and Firefox is showing a useless number, it looks like it counts in a loop. If a single pop-up shows, it stops. So really it isn't blocking that many pop-ups, just that many attempts to show the first ad.
  • Treason, on 11/08/2007, -11/+4I can haz popup?
  • dhVyse, on 11/08/2007, -15/+6Thank you Opera Web browser! (which is better then Firechicken)
  • mbeckfl, on 11/11/2007, -13/+19Ok, I went there in both FF and IE and not a single pop up warning in either. I call inaccurate - my theory: Jescro and anyone else who got varying numbers of problems needs to run Spybot / AdAware, because your system is infected with some unhealthy $&{ from cruising too many pron and warez sites.
    • drakenlot, on 11/09/2007, -0/+4Some of the pics work properly, some don't.
    • warkro, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2click on one of the normal photos not the virtual tour photos
  • BarbaraKolbe, on 11/09/2007, -1/+6Happened to me on directv.com as I was trying to pay my bill last night.
  • digguse, on 11/09/2007, -6/+2This is the link...
    http://www.aparthotelmontreal.com/virtualtourphoto ...
    When you click on any photos (not the virtual tour photos) then the popup starts popping up :)
  • 0xFEEDFACE, on 11/11/2007, -1/+18At first I thought it was a little odd that there were that many popups, but I actually don't think it's fake.

    I recently had the pleasure of dealing with a site that would do much the same. It was powered by a (very very crappy) in-house CMS (written in ASP, so you know it's good). Their popup-spawning code (JS) had a function which, after a popup-spawning link was clicked, would sit in a loop and check for the presence of the newly-created window. If it didn't open, it would spawn another. In fact, unless the popup was closed using the "close" link in the window (i.e. not the close button), it would open another window. I'm sure you can imagine what happened when the user had FF, or any popup-blocking browser. Yep. Just like the picture...
  • feverjunk, on 11/11/2007, -13/+15Inaccurate. Not one popup in IE. I love Firefox but they don't get a Thank you on this one
    • digguse, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Did you click on any photos (not the virtual tour photos)
      • acitcratnA, on 11/08/2007, -1/+1I did in IE7. I get one pop-up. It shows an enlarged photo of the thumbnail, as expected.
    • donte, on 11/08/2007, -2/+1Also, I would have tried this to test the accuracy, but FF crashed (again) when I tried to open a new tab.
  • snazzydrew, on 11/08/2007, -1/+1insane. :O
  • Schmapdi, on 11/11/2007, -14/+15IE 6 has a pop-up blocker.
    • DarkKnightUGA09, on 11/09/2007, -1/+1true, but it sucks so bad it may as well not have one... but in MS's defense IE7 did make good improvements
    • Apokalyps2547, on 11/14/2007, -2/+1"IE 6 has a pop-up blocker."
      Yeah and the KKK's a civic organization.
      THAT DOESN"T MAKE THEM ANY GOOD! :p
  • KennethKenneth, on 11/09/2007, -6/+1what it's only a apartment site....
    • bellapria, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1I know...shouldn't it be a site of something you shouldn't be looking at for that many pop ups?
  • rnreekez, on 11/08/2007, -3/+3"I don't remember reading an e-mail titled: Heard you...."
    Anyone else try to check their g-mail on that photo?
