Every time I open a thread to read, it immediately jumps to an ad at the bottom of the page with sound. I never noticed that before today? And, quite distracting when you are around other people.

It's been happening to me also using a laptop. I think it's the Ad at the bottom causing it.

I'm using a desk-top computer and haven't seen anything like this.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

It happened to me also yesterday, it was a pop up ad causing the problem.

For me, in the past few days, every 5 letters I type using quick reply, it stops typing.

Thankfully, it seemed to have stopped happening in the past hour or two . . .

Yea cookie delete time, "clean the junk" time on your security program. Shouldn't have clicked on those " we got something free for you" sites! Clicked on a link posted here on forum yesterday, was hijacked to add for "you've been infected w/ 4 viruses!, click here now!"...yea, right, wanna pull the other finger? That was the similar add that I gotbyears ago when my laptop caught a cold, then couldn't get rid of it, locks you up and throws away the key.
Run Forrest, run!

I think this is the one I closed? I don't know I forget. It had a loading type circle in the middle today.  |

No, no one hacked the site.
All you have to do is get me the landing page url for the ad if you think it's causing problems and I can block it. There shouldn't be any popups or sound by default but it's not unheard of for one to slip through.

It had a loading type circle in the middle today. I agree. This has been in issue the past few days. It clears up if I close all the adds like the one in TheNickelGuys reply. |
