I just had it a few minutes ago. Don't know if it's significant but the "Doctor, is there anything you can do" advert was at the top, the bottom AND the side (i.e. all three were ads for the same product).Quote:

Again, I don't know if this is significant - but I've noticed that it tends to appear when I use the "back" key on my browser. 90% of the time it doesn't happen. It tends to happen after I've been away from CodeGuru for a couple of hours - then it happens either the first or second time I use the "back" key after returning to the board.
Hope that helps.
Thanks John. I'll pass this information along and see if it helps.
Brad!

I like worms.

More like cousins, if you're going to use that comparison.Quote:

A bit more information about the popup.....
It just happened again on my machine and "jobs.internet.com" was in the top and bottom adverts, whereas "Hardware Central" was in the sidebar. Since it happened, those same ads have appeared in the same positions though without causing the popup.
Interestingly, this time it happened the 3rd time I used the "back" button after being away from the boards for a while.
Whatever is doing this seems to be doing its job quite intelligently. It makes sure that you don't see the popup often enough to recognise a pattern. However, I can make it happen reliably by leaving CodeGuru for a couple of hours, then returning, clicking on somebody's post and then hitting the "back" button. If it doesn't appear first time, it will usually appear very soon afterwards.
It just happened again. This time, Tech Jobs was at the top, Linux World at the bottom and HP/Compaq at the side. I don't think this is being caused by any particular advert.Quote:

However, once again, I'd been away from the CodeGuru site for a couple of hours and it occured the very first time I hit the "back" button after returning to the site.
Seems to be quite consistent.
Thanks. You have provided the information needed. I've been told that they are tracking down the issue and getting it fixed.
Brad!
My pleasure....
It often happens right shortly after I arrive and then quite regularly (every 10 or 20 page changes). It doesn't seem to be ad related (I just got it when the new page was itSMF very top, VersionTracker on top / bottom, HardwareCentral on the right -- unfortunately didn't see / remember the previous page). Maybe I'm getting it more than others?
Everytime I've received it, it seems the itSMF conference ad was at the very top. Not that that is unlikely, just a point. However, it doesn't happen every itSMF page, but I wouldn't think it'd be too hard to put in a randomiser. The only thing is, all it appears to be is
