Pop ups too?

What, regular ads weren't enough for the site they had to add pop ups too? Enough is enough.

Not sure what you are referring to, Ed. Please be a little more specific--Thanks.

When you go to the board index and click on a forum for the first time after you start up your computer, an ad pops up, it's happened to me the past few days

See the last three postings in this thread (I use firefox and don't see it)-

IE8 and nothing.

Opera 10 and nothing here. I had one while browsing the site the other day, but I think I was on Railpictures at the same time, so it probably came from there. My favorite thing about the popups on that site is that the popup blocker blocks the wanted popups, but not the ads... no problem there!

EDIT: Just tried over in IE8, and a popup was blocked the second the site loaded

I started getting them this morning. Netflix. three times.

So what? If it keeps the site free, I don't have a problem with them at all.

David, before I even get a chance to login, there is a popup staring me in the face. It opens before the page does.

I had one pop up when I logged in and I went to the Forums page. Just a quick flash and it was gone. Not the best way to advertise, as I didn't see what it said before it disappeared. I use Verizon Fios.

No pop-ups using Verizon DSL and Google Chrome.

I use Verizon for my DSL (when it works, another story) and IE8. I wasn't here yesterday and maybe Monday because my DSL was down (again.) But when I just logged in, there was no pop up. Go figure!

It's only bad when you are browsing on your smartphone. When you try to open a page on the forum, a whole new page opens up on top of it and you wonder how you ever got to this new site.

There was one today as soon as I clicked on the site, before I logged in.

A lot of browsers have "pop-up-blockers". My Safari browser has one and I never get a pop-up. That is why I was surprised when you mentioned it. Has this been going on for a long time or just recently?
