webstats4u.com Popup Ads

Hi,

would you be so kind to switch to a webstats-provider that doesn't sporadically pop up advertising windows when I enter the site?

Thanks.

It saw popup ADs twice shortly after opening the Jnode website. I poked around the HTML code used to include the webstats image in the Jnode webpages and found that it included a JavaScript from webstats4u that, if I remember correctly, added the popup using document.write(...).

BTW I'm using Mozilla 1.7.8 on Debian Linux. Maybe other browsers are able to block the popups ...
