    Resolved [RESOLVED] Survey Popup Ads

    I seem to be getting pop up ads asking me to take a survey. It has been happening for the last few days now. I haven't seen a pop up ad on this site in a while and was wondering if something changed that pop ups are now part of the advertising of this site.

    It's actually a pop-under and unfortunately it's allowed.

    If it works the same way as previous ones, it will go away if you click it (but don't actually fill in the survey) just once.

    Maybe I am unlucky but I don't have that pop-under appear when I'm on the forum! Try enabling block pop-ups in your browser and see if that helps.
    when you quote a post could you please do it via the "Reply With Quote" button or if it multiple post click the "''+" button then "Reply With Quote" button.
    If this thread is finished with please mark it "Resolved" by selecting "Mark thread resolved" from the "Thread tools" drop-down menu.

    That is actually how I found it, as it said I had multiple popups blocked. I just thought it was weird, because I don't remember seeing that in a long time for this site.

    it's a one off thing, close it once and it shouldn't reappear unless you clear your cookies.
