Popup Ads?

[pxpdoo]

Is anyone else seeing these here?

 

[grumbler]

Nope. (10chars)

Well, I do see my pop-up blocker alert at this site pretty regularly. In fact, it just beeped at me again...

 

[pxpdoo]

Just switched to the very expensive norton 360, had to uninstall ZoneAlarm...

I never get them here. I think you have outside interferance. I actualy am seeing a lot of "This page cannot be displayed" where banner ads are suppose to go. I wonder if CFC is losing advertisers.

I thought maybe you were proposing a new Wonder for the game. First the Internet, followed by Pop-Up Ads.

I've seen a lot of them too lately. It's weird, before like three days ago I never got them here.

 

[Balderstrom]

Well I'm running Opera. There are no popups, nor are there any listed in Opera's Blocked Popup List. So theres something else afflicting ya'll

That's my guess too, since Firefox doesn't signal it has blocked any pop-ups when I visit here.

"Your entire Civ has been downloading..." lmao

Exactly, like very recently. Moderator info?
(Should I report my own post, just to attract a Mod response, he wonders? )

I have no idea where your pop-ups come from guys, but my firefox is also completely silent on the issue. Perhaps a thorough check for malware is in order?

 

[pxpdoo]

Done x3. It's something systemic...

Moderator Action: Site Feedback would have been the best place for this kind of question, so I'll move it there.

Firefox is your friend, especially if you use the Adblock extension. You also need to check your system as oranges says.

If you get a pop up ad, take a screenshot of the banner ads at the top and bottom of the cfc page you were looking at and post them in a thread in Site Feedback.

No Firefox, just IE; am re-running Ad-Aware and Norton 360 scans as I type. Zero results so far, but will let you know...
