Popups on filesonic.com

[Marijo]

Hi guys!

I've noticed popups on filesonic.com. Here's a test link (click on "Slow Download"):
http://www.filesonic.com/file/2671061331

The popup is loaded by

Code: Select all

http://www.filesonic.com/punder.php

and redirects to a page from mgid.com like

Code: Select all

http://mgid.com/mg3807.html

This filter blocks the popup:

Code: Select all

||filesonic.com/punder.php$image,~image,popup

Regards,
Billy

That was fast! Thanks, MonztA!

I was actually going through some issue reports and added it.

I'm a little unclear why this filter was introduced as-is. According to Specifying filter options, image means the element is an image. ~image means the element is not an image. Why use two filter options that contradict each other? popup is not a valid filter option as far as I can tell... or has it been omitted from the documentation?

According to the Blockable Items list, punder.php is a frame. So the subdocument filter option would be appropriate, though I don't see why it would be necessary.

Thank you for the blog link. It not only answered my initial question, but also explained why I was seeing a pop-up window appear then quickly disappear. It's annoying, but it does save one the trouble of having the close the pop-up manually, so that's something at least.
