yes and I thought it was a problem in Rainbird's thread (where it happened for the first time) but since then it happened two or three times again IIRC

and I use ad blocker as well, it only remove the ads inside the ad, so it was even weirder because I couldn't see any link in the blocking popup!



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Happened to me yesterday. Is there a similar way to find the info using Explorer?

I'm gonna need more info if I'm gonna track the source of this ad down and remove it. Next time it happens can you look under tools > page info (firefox) and try to find the source of the ad under the "media" tab.

As is usually the issue with this stuff I don't get these ads myself being in the UK so unless you guys alert me to an issue I won't know about it. The best way to bring this stuff up is to email or pm me about it with screenshots etc rather than making arsy threads on it. We have about 500 different ads over 3 different ad sizes and 7 ad networks running on the site - many of which are in the hands of the networks themselves and I don't personally have direct control over. Believe me, we don't purposely place ads like this on the site and it is obviously something I want to track down asap and get removed...

I have got it 3 times and I'm in the UK, just to let you know.

Hey ioi, I have $10-15 U.S. I will give you for no advertisements and to support better servers for my favourite site in exchange for no advertisements and say some premium features like being able to delete my posts etc. Im sure there are other people who will pay you as well to help the site out.



Tease.

This isnt the worst one. The one with the dragon is the most annoying.

I don't find it nearly as annoying because you can just refresh the page and it is gone...  The one I posted is ultra annoying because there is no way around it IE8 without shutting down and restarting my browser.
