Well, whatever this "tracking.sitemeter.com" site is that this forum wants me to log into tonight, you are now blocked.

Logan · 06-25-2012, 08:07 PM

Saw it on my trip here about an hour ago (on each page view), nothing now though.

edit: Take that second part back. How do I block it on Firefox?

EagleFan · 06-25-2012, 08:09 PM

SOB, now I'm getting it.

Grover · 06-25-2012, 08:09 PM

Haven't seen it once on Chrome.

bhlloy · 06-25-2012, 08:11 PM

I entered "user" and "password" and it took me to some secret mod forum. You should see how many candid Pumpy photos there are over there

stevew · 06-25-2012, 08:16 PM

Showing up on my IPhone

DaddyTorgo · 06-25-2012, 08:17 PM

Blocked it awhile back with Ghostify.

RomaGoth · 06-25-2012, 08:21 PM

Glad I wasn't the only one getting that popup.

What is Ghostify?

SackAttack · 06-25-2012, 08:23 PM

Popped up when I came to the forum just now. Saw the thread and wondered what gstelmack was up to NOW.

Popped up again when I clicked the thread. Canceled out both times, haven't seen it since.

RomaGoth · 06-25-2012, 08:35 PM

Figured out what it is, just not sure why now all of a sudden it is showing up with that stupid authentication box. Never saw it before today.

Sitemeter is just a site that provides traffic data on your site, like a poor man's Google Analytics.

In the "Day at the office" theme I see the sitemeter icon at the bottom of the screen (like on any site it's been set up for) but don't get the popup window you guys are mentioning.

Thanks. I looked it up and found Ghostery instead but figured that's what you meant.

gstelmack · 06-26-2012, 07:10 AM

Ghostery sounds interesting, but the "free" part always sounds fishy to me. What do they get out of it?

yeah, there must be something broken somewhere because sitemeter isn't a shady thing.

Ben E Lou · 06-26-2012, 08:19 AM

We've had the Sitemeter widget on FOFC for roughly 4 years. Operation Sports had me put it on the site back before they acquired it in summer 2008, to gauge traffic. I haven't touched it since then, so I have no idea why it would suddenly cause pop-ups for some people. *shurg*

DaddyTorgo · 06-26-2012, 08:22 AM

Weird...I just got the sitemeter popup for the first couple times on my work computer (use IE here, don't have any popup blockers or ad-aware or anything).

Buccaneer · 06-26-2012, 08:34 AM

Been getting on every page refresh since yesterday. Very annoying.

Young Drachma · 06-26-2012, 09:04 AM

Autumn · 06-26-2012, 09:27 AM

I started getting this yesterday too, but haven't seen it yet today.

CrimsonFox · 06-26-2012, 09:31 AM

I did notice it popping up other sites, too.

I'd bet something broke on an update they rolled out.

Me too. I suppose if you have pop-ups completely eliminated, you won't get it, but that's some AdBlock-only feature. It certainly isn't shutting it down automatically outside of that.

Ghostery takes care of it.

RendeR · 06-26-2012, 03:25 PM

The only thing I really run to block anything at all is adblock and I've never once seen popups or weird ads or anything of the like.

I did get them when i forgot to add adblock onto the new machine right away once...the things people will put up with frighten me.

Me too. After I got it a few times, I set NoScript to block it.

I use nothing clever - just Chrome and I've never seen it, I reckon its something displayed by your ad-blockers to gain revenue

sabotai · 06-26-2012, 05:36 PM

Far be it for me to dispute your conclusion reached after a study involving a sample size of 1, but I'm fairly certain it's not that.
