Re: pop up ads
If your getting pop up ads on PC's or laptops, you could have a virus. I do not allow advertisers to use pop up ads.

Re: pop up ads
I have contacted the advertising companies and told them about this issue. I am not getting any pop up ads on my pc or cell phone. Are the ads different, or are the only from worlds of warcraft. I have sent a request to ban all advertising from blizzard entertainment, which owns warcraft.

Re: pop up ads
Tough to pin down -- despite the number of times I check in here, I only ever got the redirect on my phone once, and on my PC once.
I used to have problems with certain ads "breaking" the Back button due to them filling up the History, but I'd found the ones that were doing that and blocked their domains. (Never had a problem with your regular racing company ads up top, and those still display fine)

Re: pop up ads
Thanks for the input Michael, its a constant battle, I ban at least 20 to 30 advertisers a month that use google adsense and digital throttle. Just when you think you have a handle on it, some companies figure out a way to get through. It does not make sense, these companies get very few clicks and have a low impression score, seems like a waste of money to me.

Re: pop up ads
Try changing your Pop Up Blocker settings. On Internet Explorer, the default setting is medium; try changing it to high, which is supposed to block all popups, and see what happens. Mine is set at medium, and I have never encountered a popup on this site.

Re: pop up ads
FYI. I had the problem when I used FireFox and it went away when I started using M Explorer. What browser are you guys using? Jim

Re: pop up ads
On my I phone I turn off the Java script and that usually stops it.
