    Here's another screenshot.

    same thing just started getting it again. with the new ad as well. this is soo anoying! mods whats the deal? does anyone have an answer? why cant it just be a regular banner? I cant even use the scroll feature on my mouse without having to close the ad first. which is very annoying, then while i'm scrolling it will pop up again! so frustrating.

    Guys relax, the boss is looking into it, yelling "where are you" is not going to get the problem solved any quicker. As for the ads, it seems like a IE problem correct? I mean, I am here usually 2 hours a day writing/checking news, glossary, guides etc, and I have never seen a pop up ad. I am using FF 2.0 WITHOUT adblockplus and have not seen one in the 3 years I have been on this site.

    However, while we are on the topic of ads we dont want to see anymore, the smiletrain ads are very hard to look at, especially when they are so huge.

    Ouch. They do look annoying. Do they load ""from the banner"" at the top of the page (the top banner is advertising the same product)? I need to know this, because if that is the case, then the ads are definitely coming from our ad partners rather than being some weird-ass browser hijack. We've stated to our ad partners for years that we don't want to have any popping ads, so if it comes from "us", we need to have some serious talk with them.

    Furthermore, do you happen to be able to catch the "landing url", i.e. the URL the banner points to (don't click it, as it would redirect probably couple of times before loading the final page, but if you "hover" your mouse on it, does it show any link at the bottom of the browser)?

    Yes. Although if minimized they will pop up from the bottom of the page, over whatever application window is in front.

    So far, no. I'v not been able to get a link at the bottom for it.

    Alright, thanks. And the ads are HSBC and Trane? Targeted to U.S. users, right?

    It's been here, the 2 times that I have dropped in today. It is extremely annoying.

    At Loco: Sorry, I didn't see this thread, prior to my posting a new thread.
