I think I may have the solution to everyones zango problem I have tested this and it seems to work for me. I need more people to test this to get a good view on its effectiveness. Zango will not make a popup on a site that already has a popup. So I found this script to add a popup to your site and stop the popup before it loads so your users don't even get a message saying popup blocked through their browser, your site will look exactly the same as it did before. so add this code to the pages that you want to protect, I have tested it for an hour on sites of mine that usaully get a zango popup and no popups have came.
Code:

<script> NS_ActualWrite=document.write; // Script Error Blocker --> function handleError() {return true;} window.onerror = handleError; // Popup Blocker --> NS_ActualOpen=window.open; orig_setTimeout = window.setTimeout; function NS_NullWindow(){this.window;} function NS_NewOpen(url,nam,atr){ obj=new NS_NullWindow(); obj.focus = NS_NullWindow; obj.opener = this.window; return(obj); } function NS_NullWindow2(){this.window;} function NS_NewOpen2(url,nam,atr){return(new NS_NullWindow2());} function op_stop() { NS_ActualOpen2=window.open; window.open=NS_NewOpen2; } function op_start() { window.open=NS_ActualOpen2; } function noopen_ST(one,two) { orig_setTimeout("op_stop();"+one+";;op_start();",two); } function noopen_load() { op_stop(); if(orig_onload) orig_onload(); op_start(); } function noopen_unload() { op_stop(); if(orig_onunload) orig_onunload(); op_start(); } window.setTimeout = noopen_ST; window.open=NS_NewOpen; </script> <!---End Popup Blocker script --->
<!--- Here's popup wins ---> <script> window.open('http://www.google.com/') </script> <!---End popup wins --->

That thread looked promising to me also so I mentioned it earlier today in the the other Zango thread: http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...&postcount=121

I wasn't sure if it was allowed to post links to other boards and I didn't want to just paste the code with no reference.

I wish I could test it myself but I'm reluctant to install Zango.

awesome! I will see how it works for a few people and then add it to my sites, that would be great if this would work!

I'd like to hear what Sparky has to say on this

I am wondering what browsers it works on.

.htaccess works across the board, but javascript is unpredictable on browsers that are not IE.

[Greenguy]

That's what I was thinking too Urb - especially with some java stuff not working in IE7 at all.

As for the browser issue, looking at adwaresucks stats, about 98% of the users that have been to the page are using IE6 and IE7.

Think I read somewhere that zango doesn't work with Firefox or Mozilla.

Of course, a lot of those visitors must be webmasters checking out the page.

Immediate decline by half if not more of the submission scripts out there?

I was thinking the same thing. Now I'm not sure how some of the software for checking works but if you have to add that tag manually to the software then maybe adding a comment tag in front of this code could allow for some exceptions ie <--zango kill script --> but then that would also leave the door open for to many cheaters.

A solution would be a TGP or Linklist hosting the script.

<script src="http://www.hostedbyTGPorLINKLIST.com/ZangoKill.js" 
  language="javascript" 
    type="text/javascript"></script>

Who's going to be the gate-keeper? |shocking|

Most traffic to a gallery or freesite has been delivered via a LL or TGP. I think it's more important to convince high traffic sites that have pages which don't need to follow submission rules, rather then worry about the gallery and freesite builders.

[digifan]

Hi guys,
I thought it can be helpful for tpgs and LL owners and being on a mac my feedback is useless. [BV] I missed your post, sorry, the skin was making me blind.
I posted that link also to let you see what other beta testers think about it and even Smokey found it a good idea.
