I'm not sure where to post this but has anyone else noticed a pop up ad at the bottom of each web page of the forum. It's very annoying, and I hope it goes away soon......

EDIT: THANKS for fixing this, Anthony -- you're THE man!

I agree. I didn't mind when it was a banner add at the top of the page but having it pop up and obscuring the page until I close it is a nusance

Can someone get a screen grab/capture for me? I have to know what it is to ask the banner network to stop serving it. Sorry for the annoyance!

Yup, that's the one. I think it might be messing with my display too. For some reason my display is freezing and refreshs in small blocks, one block at at at time. Coincidence?

I'm sure that Anthony is working on removing it.
I don't understand how it is slipping past the pop-up blockers. :? It is annoying, I agree.


Now, about 2 1/2 hours later, I am not seeing the ad... anyone else seeing it?

I actually am not sure I had anything to do with this (getting it removed) yet - I emailed the company that serves banners here, but have not heard back from them yet. And I was out all day. Is it really gone for good or is anyone else seeing it?
