If I remember right, there was an issue a while back where advertisers were using thier ad in the upper right corner to launch popups.... and if I remember right, that was a no-no and if any were spotted, they were to be reported.
ok, i'm going to open a fresh instance of opera, and browse with the pop-up blocker OFF, only on vbf. I'll screen record the ad to prove it's not just co-incidental, and that it's only when using VBF.
I occasionally get those annoying little pop ups too, but I just close them and move on.
I'm not really sure where they come from. I rarely read them.

If you get a pop-up, let me know. There aren't suppose to be any. I know that at one point we had trouble with one of the ads causing a pop-up. It was very quickly addressed with the company doing the ad -- my understanding is that they were told that it was not acceptable and their ad was changed.
Again, if you see it happen, let me know.

Yeah - it is an advertisor popping those and not us.
If you get it more than once, then I suggest you use the close button (or whatever button is provided) rather than the X button. That should 'cookie' it from that advertisor that you took it and thus prevent that advertisor from showing it to you again. If you see it again, then the advertisor is not only being bad, but doublely bad

Ok, I'll try that. Already got the popup 5 times today. Seems we are experiencing a real slowness. Wonder if the popup could be causing issues? I notice that the big ad is missing or completely void sometimes.
