I am getting unbidden pop-ups again on this site -- in the form of stupid magazines that I have no interest in.
Dr. Oz and other lunatic health crap, or Oprah, or I don't even know what else because I do not read them. I have to step back to this page, but maybe 3 or 4 times in a row before they finally stop.
It happens on no other site, and on both my computers, so it can't be just me, can it?
I keep waiting for somebody to say something, but I will go out on a limb and say it first, I guess.
Anybody else? It is driving me nuts over here. |

Download Adblock Plus, Bert. You should then get no nasty ads bothering you. Or try turning pop-ups off in your browser settings. |

Yeah, I was getting pop-ups for a minute there. I downloaded AddBlocker Plus last week and haven't gotten any since. |

Same here. I thought it was just my laptop because it's having lots of issues lately. Still waiting for Apple to roll out there new MacBook Pros. It reloads the pages here with bullshit magazine ads. For some reason, I'm getting Fit Moms ads!!!!!! |

Bert and Pia,
I'm not having the same problem, however, I've pulled all the ads off the discussion board. The ad for Android Night Punch is just an image and a link. Please let me know if you are still getting popups on the discussion board.

It seems to have stopped, Don, but it was something new. Just within the last week or so. So how much it was related to the Discussion Board ads I am not really sure. It was not a true "pop-up" really -- I would see the SS board for a split-second, and then get shuttled off to a whole new page and url. It was weird. I use Mozilla -- and do have pop-ups blocked -- but it was happening anyway. Do you think it might be something browser-specific? |

I have heard another report on this. I think it may be someone slipped something into a Google ad. The only other report the user was using I.E. I have not been able to reproduce this. Please keep me in the loop if it keeps happening. Don |

That screenshot is definitely one of the bullshit magazine ads I've been getting. |

I haven't gotten the one that you did, Pia, but I was getting the one Bert did. I think it was some French gossip site or something like that. |

Happened to me too. Same Good Housekeeping ad. And just when I thought it stopped, it started up again. |

Are you all still getting pop up ads on the discussion board?

I believe it has something to do with a possible phishing attack ahead. Lemonde magazines or something like that. I've got it a few times. Google is working on the issue, from my understanding. I assume others like firefox are having this problem as well. I haven't had any security issues though. |
