IE9 seems okay. Well, either that, or I didn't get that bad ad you suspected. Reloaded a bunch of times, no problem.

the only use for IE is to Download either Safari, Chrome or Firefox

Agreed, though certain Windows-specific downloads do require IE. At least, they used to. Haven't had to deal with one in a while.
1. This is a known issue, several people, including site moderators have been complaining about it in the Site Feedback forums. Ainwood said he'd take it up with the hosters of CFC.
2. I wouldn't know how bad it is because I use Firefox with adblock, so that may be a temporary (or permanent) solution for those having problems.

Yeah its the ads here, plus NOW there are sounds with the darn ads, that really tee me off. Also i use Webroot for a virus scanner and it has been monitoring lots and lots of pop-up ads as maliware is why there are all those extra ones getting thru.
Here is one of those such VIOLATORs: Do NOT click on it.

Post this here so that Ainwood and the forum moderators can see what specific culprits are at work here and complain to the CFC hosts about it.

I've been getting that full screen one as well. I posted about it at the thread provided by ls612.
Posting actual hyperlinks to suspected providers of malware probably wasn't the best idea, but that will help the site admins anyways.

Perhaps, but the link broke itself in the middle anyway, so it wouldn't work. I think.

Just got on and Flash Player wanted me to update Immediately. I closed it instead. I'm on Chrome.

I use Firefox with addons Adblock, Ghostery and NoScript. Works very well.
Btw for even more privacy, there is a firefox version for TOR project, although its rather slowly loading pages due to the rerouting, nevertheless using forums with is not problematic as they dont tend to have to load much more than text and thumbnails (if you avoid the ad spam)

TOR won't help against any malware-infected ads though. It won't stop it from showing the ad. Adblock + Noscript seems to do a fine job, since unless the ad comes directly from civfanatics.com, any JS code will not be executed unless you specifically say so.
There's a similar extension for Chrome, I advise anybody to get these kind of addons.

Yeah I have noticed that this forum is going extremely slow today and posting take a very long time to do when you press reply.
