Boo-hiss:disgust:

I just got 3 in a row, all the same....only surfing here at AT for the moment!

Just kinda annoying is all. Especially as I am a subscriber. I'm sure I am not the only one peeved by these

Ciao!

Have you run adaware recently?

I'm at work ATM, and I should not have to! Nor do I want to here on my companies' PC.

Anand is specific with his advertising, and pop-ups are a no-no. He said he was going to take care of this when it happened a week or two ago, and I am sure he did deal with it.

However, they are back:Q

I don't see any... I wonder why?

What pop ups?

I just tested the non-subscriber link on my system, and I got no pop-ups. The popups could be the result of spyware on your machine. As minendo suggested, running Ad-Aware which would probably get rid of the ads if that is the cause. You may want to suggest this to your sys admin.

Well, like any advertising though, popups do not always appear right when you view an ad. I never run ads on my site, but I do have the option to choose popups if I wanted to. And these popups only occur when that certain ad campaign is run, so theoretically you could go through 50 ads and miss the popup and then see it on the next view.

EDIT:
But I don't know what campaigns have been chosen to run and you probably know better if you have any popup ads running, so....
