Popup Survey

[Motorheader]

I just got a popup survey box "powered by vizu" twice. It's a flash survey box that stays in the middle of the page and keeps up with page scroll up or down.

I just got the damn thing again when responding to a PM. I couldn't answer the PM because the box kept blocking it no matter where I scrolled.

Just got this myself, unfortunately it disappeared before I could grab a screenshot or any code.

Kind of annoying.

This Pop Up keeps popping up like crazy

It comes across the screen from left to right as well after it pops up.

Please grab the code for this if you can. I want to exterminate it with prejudice, but I haven't been able to get it to come up for me.

Popup "site survey" from vizu..... I scrolled to the top and noticed that the top banner ad was missing at the time, so I suspect that's the ad it came form, and the banner was hidden.

Got a cap, but didn't catch the code.

Here is what it looks like.

I just got it too, sorry I didn't think about the code until I saw this thread.

How did you pull that info? I've had it pop twice more but I'm unsure as to how to get at the code generating it - clearly it won't reside in Anandtech's source.

Hey ViRGE, you might want to include those tools listed above in your first post in these threads.

Just popped up again.

Microsoft Ad was at the top at the time.

this, but the microsoft Ad was positioned wrong (aligned to the left).

 

[ViRGE]

The ad people are on it, but I'm not sure if they have everything they need. If someone else can grab the code for the ad that's actually calling the popup, it may be of help.

Edit: Got it. The offending ad (which was indeed the Microsoft ad Dave noted) should be getting pulled shortly.

You need something that can parse the source after script execution. The clean source for the forums will have the scripts that load the ads, but not the results of those scripts.
