Seem to have regular instances of a site called trc.taboola.com opening randomly and unbidden from the forums...

Only seems to be happening for me in IE11 (I know...) - a quick test in Firefox (version 35.0.1) doesn't seem to have the taboola pages popping up.

Yeah, it was opening new tabs (plural) in IE while I was at work this evening. A wee bit annoying.

Home now with Firefox and ABP and Ghostery and all is well. smile

Ok, noted. We will have a look in the morning at this and see what is going on.

Happening for me too. As soon as I get to the bottom of a thread I get the poxy pop up screen.

Can't be bothered to look at stuff until fixed.

Getting this all the time, though the pop-ups get blocked so I just get a box at the bottom of the screen asking if I want to allow it to open a pop-up.

That is pretty annoying - Taboola control the code on that page for the firing of this so have got in touch with them to sort or I will remove from IE - They have till the end of the day.

Internet Options / Privacy / Turn on pop-up blocker?

You'll still get an annoying warning, but it won't open the pop-up.

The integration of third party ads into PH does seem to be particularly problematic, none of the other sites I use have as frequent misbehaviour from advertisers. Which is odd, because I assume it's the same boilerplate code inserted into all of them.
