We Need Your Help - Advertisment

This happened a few times in the past. The ad farm that the ads on Anandtech come from sometimes have "inadvertently" placed advertisements that are not allowed in to appear.
 
I believe that's one of those floating ads.

My Maxthon browser can block ads like them, though.

I don't know if Anandtech uses ads like this, but in the short time I've been here I haven't seen anything like it.

I've been getting that too.

Did somebody swap the forum server with an Ad server?

Wouldn't have shown up for me if I would have not just been on a clean install and had Adblock Plus installed 😉

Yep ... I use Opera just about exclusively & have never seen it.
I use IE7 exclusively and have never seen it either, despite spending a fair amount of time here. I don't have any unusual tweaks (HOSTS files or antispyware apps), except that I arbitrarily block 3rd-party cookies using IE7's privacy options.

As a matter of curiosity, for those of you who've seen the pop-ups, run the Secunia Software Inspector checkup. Do you come up fully-patched?

(install Sun Java Runtime if you don't have Java already, so you can run the checkup)
