Is it supposed to be there everytime I access PH?
I've seen it 5+ times today.

Is this a problem for everyone or should I change something in IE?

If you've got third party cookies enabled then it will record the fact that you've seen it and not show it again.

Everytime I reload my pages with firefox (I have a shortcut to open 5 forums at once), I get this sodding pop up. Once a session is way OTT if you don't want to drive users away imho. Once a day is offensive enough.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm now having to search for software to block them full stop because it is driving me mad. I will never buy a sodding mazda, however many popups they jam in my face Especially now

Weird.

I'm running firefox and I only get it when I start up a new session.

Could you verify that you have third party cookies enabled please?

Yes, "allow sites to set cookies" is ticked.

It should not be ticked

Has it popped up multiple times page after page as you browse then? i.e. every single page?

No, it's not page after page, but coming back to PH from other sites I have seen it 5-6 times since my last post.

I'll ask someone to look into it. Tricky to establish what it might be when I'm running the same setup as you and I'm only getting it once. I do appreciate it would be annoying though.

Do you know if anything like this actually exists yet? I would suspect not, as they are 'layer-based' ads which will not been seen as pop-ups. By blocking these, you potentially render many many web-pages un-usable. IIRC anyone generating content using newer versions of Dreamwever, will cause problems - as it's default code generation will use layers.

I very much stand to be corrected on this, btw.
