Ad causing popups....
I know that the ads are served by a third party, and that VBF doesn't have direct control over it, but I thought I'd let the admins know that the attached ad at the bottom of the screen shot here caused a popup. Fortunately my Fx blocks such things (which is how I came to notice it.) I know it's the ad at the bottom, because the one that was at the top I'd seen before and knew that wasn't the source.

Re: Ad causing popups....
The pop-under was probably a questionmarket survey. I suggest that you simply respond to it once. This will write a cookie that should prevent it from being displayed again.

Re: Ad causing popups....
i have been following all the threads related to this issue, because i have been having the same problems. I took your suggestion brad by clicking the ad, and it still pops up.
Any other suggestion?

If you have an issue still it should be posted in the main thread I linked to in post #3
Doing as I mentioned in that thread works.
