Nope seems to be gone. So I turned flash back on =)

Just had it pop up again. Only once, but it was there!

dont beat a dead horse....

I just got it again myself. I will ensure the appropriate amount of hell is raised.

It's BS. It doesn't just appear there by itself. I've gotten it several times and almost always when I open a new thread.

 

[dan330]

Me neither. But oddly, I'm not seeing ANY ads any more.

Now every time I access the forum, I'm met with a ghastly popup ad that I must click the little cross to cancel and return to the page.

I don't mind ads, gee this place must cost a bomb to run but why resort to pop-ups?

This problem comes up from time to time and is an ongoing concern of the site admins and owner. They have posted about their work with the ad agencies involved in trying to eradicate intrusive popups, etc.

Posting about it here, as you've done, is the way to go because it alerts them to new versions of the problem.

Need to know which ad it is, though. What is it for?

Thanks!

Nothing, which makes it all the more annoying.

Just a white window filling 50% of the screen saying 'Brought to you by Phandroid'
I've even left it for a minute or so to see if it will get any content, but no.

It usually happens the first time I access the forum from a desktop PC for the day. Its full screen on the window size I use, and its a guys face. Initally thought it was a phandroid ad. I can't reproduce so I will get more details when I next log in a fresh.

Same, its also the most annoying type of advert I've ever had to deal with..

Just had it again. Its a microsoft advert "Cloud Power"

This one?

(I should add, I've only ever seen it once my self. I had to use incognito mode to see it again).

 

[rynlpin]

That's the one!

Thank ya, will pass on.

Yep. Had it 4 times today now so its not just first thing. Sometimes in FireFox, I go to the main HTC desire forum and its as if I'm not logged in and it shows then too. It's odd. Maybe a cache problem cause threads that have been moved since still appear

Attached. Get this all day, on the forum and phandroid. Seriously gotta get rid of this asap.
