Having a problem with popup re-direction.

[sixdogs]

I never got popups until recently but now a Tim Horton popup blocks the page EVERY TIME I change the page. Or try to.

When I "x" out of the popup, it re-directs me to the prior page I was on. Then when I try to go back to the page I wanted to go to the pop up is there again and blocking the screen. Then when I "x" out of it I'm back and square one again. It's a vicious circle. I'm not going to install Google Chrome for the sake of the TBN but it's increasingly difficult to view the TBN.

Is this a permanent problem or will it right itself in time? I'm getting pretty tired of trying to trick the ad into letting me read the page.

Just load Adblock plus on your browser, and be done with ads and popups forever.

Yep, its available for IE, Chrome and Firefox.

I use Firefox with the popup blocker enabled and the AdBlock Plus add-on. No popup advertisement problems on this or any other site.

Hmm. We shouldn't be having that ad pop up. In fact, the only popup I'm aware of is the one that pops up when you aren't logged in and asks you to login or register. I'll talk to Muhammad about it and see if we can't track it down.

The problem has lessened and it seems to occur for a while and then not occur for a while. Beats me and may not even be TBN.

Yes, please check as it is getting worse with different vendors "popping up". In the past it was bestbuy and scion....now it is many more.

This on ipad and the only site I have visited over several years that I experience popup's.

well, I right clicked on the ad to get it's address and this came up.

Not sure if that came off the ad--it probably didn't--but that's what I got. When I try to "X" out of the ad, the screen redirects back a page. That's not a problem but if I'm responding to a post I then lose what I've written. I don't really know how to stop this ad since it never appeared before.

I'm logged in and a Nissan ad will not stop popping up on every page for several days. This is making it extremely annoying to search the forums.
