No, it's not your computer, it's one of TFs advertising networks playing silly buggers.

It's one of a couple of popups that have somehow managed to get through the filters. I've been trying to get rid of them and on a couple of occasions thought i'd succeeded, but they keep on cropping up again.

I will kill them properly once and for all I assure you.

Thread moved to bug section by the way.

Ok, for anyone who has been suffering from these stupid popups, I think i've isolated and stopped the popups, but I can not be 100% sure, so if possible, please let me know ASAP if you suffer one while on TF.

I was looking at the live new posts page thing... Though I don't think that the page itself was the problem, as i've loaded it again and had no popup...

No it's not a particular page that is the problem, but I have certain ad networks in certain places and not in others and I need to isolate any that could be sending this crap to TF.

Those are old ones though, right? Not this evening I hope.

It's ones from now on in I really REALLY need to know, I think I may have found the source ad network at the root of the problem, but need to be sure, because i'm going to bin that ad network if it turns out they are doing this to their publishers.
