pop up box click to wins!!!

Options
Why have they now started a pop up box on the click to win comps? Or is it only me. I have adblocker enabled as well! Giving up with them for today. Its driving me nuts.

    I only get the 'This websites uses cookies' pop-up. I guess you don't mean that one? It is a bit irritating but easy to get rid of.

    Morning,


    It's been happening to me for the last few days on That's Life & TV Choice. And it's rather annoying. I've ended up missing those two. It's like a huge box that fills the screen*, you attempt to get rid of it, then it pops up again on the comp you want to enter - then the smaller version of the ad pops up. Gave it up as a bad job. The captchas back on Win Something are easier, and quicker to deal with than these things.
    MEH!! Hope it's only temporary.
    Be Lucky


    *EDIT - for those lucky enough not to get it - It's not the cookies one, it's the ad for phone security, where the cat has a bat, trying to belt a grabber thing away.
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j

    It on car magazine, zoo today Yours, They are just the few I've tried so far. Its not just the cookies pop up. You can Skip it but it takes about 30 seconds before the skip sign comes up.

    Oh, yes, see what you mean :eek: Haven't been on CtoW for a while - noticed that to add insult to injury, there don't seem to be any actual comps on the Zoo page

    There have been discussions on here about the Mag dailies trying to find a way round ad blocker for their videos and I remember before Xmas one of the CtoW sites had a sort of begging letter asking for people to turn it off.
    I did not get the pop up when I did Bella, so it appears they are experimenting with the smaller sites. :cool:
