popup inside forum

[puglover]

This popped up as I surfed the forum, not the main page.

Next time you see it, you should take a screenshot of the top and bottom banner ads. That's the only way to report the bad ads.

I think there needs to be announcement forum wide on how people should report bad ads. This way we can have more accurate reporting each time.

Yer these threads are getting a bit annoying now.....

You've gotta love what they've done with that ad though. First time I've seen one like that.

You may be eligable for a Sid Meier's Civilization IV

puglover, the popup may not be from the forum, but from adware on your computer. Here are some info about it:

Try running AdAware to clean it...

I just had a popup when I clicked to look at a thread.

First time it ever hapenned to me.

I tought TF would like to know!

RB: I occasionally get that one at work. It seems to be only CFC. The banners I can see are always blank when it appears, though...

 

[Ribannah]

I also get this 'Your opinion matters' popup.
I have cleaned my cookies folder (I regularly do), and I don't get it anywhere else anyway, so it must come through CFC.

We really need a screenshot of the top and bottom banner ads to get this ad. Simply saying you get a popup is not really that helpful without knowing what ad to purge.

Look at it this way, there's 661 people on the forum right now. That's potentially 1322 ads to wade through. So having a screen shot of the top and bottom banner ads is very useful in finding the bad ad and getting it yanked.

@Turner --- It hapenned a few times again and I checked the top and bottom ads and they are always blank when the pop up appears!

Yeah, tell that to all the people who had the Winfixer problem!

Funny, I didn't have it while the firefox users did.

I doubt that the compagny I work for will get firefox. Anyhow I don't really care about the pop-ups, they only happen at work.

I just report them to help out.

The popup is by questionmarket.

We realize it's from questionmarket. Anyone looking at the screenshots can see that. However, as I bolded what I've previously said, we need to the top and bottom ads so we know which ad is displaying the pop-up.

And we realize that sometimes the top and bottom banners are blank/blocked.

 

[Ribannah]

What top and bottom banners?

 

[The Great Apple]

Because either could be creating the popup?

 

[Turner]

What top and bottom banners?

Top and bottom of the page, next to a little box that says "Advertisement".

You know, I swear that said why...
