I'd seen this before and have started using Mozilla to start surfing popup sites, but since this uses cookies, with an expiration date, I thought I should be able to permantently kill the damn ads by either editing the cookie, or setting the expiration date manually.
After about five seconds of looking at the url below, I realized X10 made it super easy for us to kill X10 ads forever :) Check the link that says Click Here...it looks like this. http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=30&PAGE=http://www.x10.com/x10ads1.ht m Well I stuck this url in httpanalyzer, and the cookie got set to expire Jan 16, then I changed the url to http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=60&PAGE=http://www.x10.com/x10ads1.ht m ..and guess what? The cookie got set to expire Feb 15! :) I also tested with 365 days, and it works... As far as I know this is an original discovery by me...so don't go spreading it all around town or X10 will fix it. :) jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phillip Broussard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 1:06 PM Subject: Rid yourself of X10 ads > I got real tired of the x10 pop under ads and sent them a nasty gram > email.
