View Full Version : Random Ad
Blakelyn 06-17-2005, 01:23 PM I just got a random page come up when I was navigating LEIA. It said "Your page is loading", and then it had the option to "Skip this ad". Has anyone else gotten that? Its the first time I've ever gotten it. I didn't keep it up long enough to see what it was advertising, but I just thought it was weird.
Karen_ 06-17-2005, 02:50 PM I get those all the time from other sites.. I don't think I've seen one on LEIA yet though :P
dolce shanti 06-17-2005, 04:59 PM I've seen it before...
benlikestennis 06-17-2005, 05:02 PM Ive never seen one on LEIA. Weird. They are sponsers they she has put on her page if they do show up.
Monkey Bizzle 06-17-2005, 05:02 PM hooray for firefox!!
however sometimes i do get what's called a "pop-under." It loads behind the page you are viewing... And it's always from the same address... something like a.tribalfusion.com.
Magln Meow 06-17-2005, 05:20 PM No... I don't think I've seen that anywhere... I'll keep my eyes on the look out for that.
Blakelyn 06-17-2005, 05:22 PM It wasn't a pop-up - it was more like those things you get when you're playing a game, and it "takes a short break", and then you have the option to "skip this ad". I've never seen it on LEIA, but I get them all the time on other sites. So this was a first - I wish I had taken a screen shot of it.
webgirl 06-17-2005, 05:23 PM LEIA is one of the only sites I get annoying ads from anymore.

How strange! I've never had that!
I do get the tribalfusion ones though, they seem to be the only ones that get past the popup blocking stuff in both IE and FF!
Cherchezlafemme 06-17-2005, 05:58 PM I get them on flash and gaming sites, never here though =/ In my 2 years on LEIA I can't say I have ever seen one of those ads lol
I have got it before as well on LEIA
Peter 06-17-2005, 08:30 PM i got the tribalfusion one too(i am using ff though)
MaGiCSuN 06-17-2005, 09:41 PM i only get ads on lissaexplains.com
not on /forum ... LoL
so nope, not having troubles with it :)
kittycat 06-17-2005, 10:17 PM My LEIA visits have been completely ad-free since I got adblock :P I think I got one like you're talking about a while ago, but thought nothing of it... hasn't ever happened since.
DeltaDawn 06-18-2005, 08:55 PM I don't know..but I've got them from the beginning :P
Blakelyn 06-20-2005, 01:48 PM I got it again! I took a screenshot this time, but I dont know how to post one. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Upload it to a place like Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/) or ImageShack (http://imageshack.us/) and post the URL.
Blakelyn 06-20-2005, 02:56 PM Thanks! Here is the screenshot - its a bit blurry, sorry about that. Have you guys seen this before?

westernrider 06-20-2005, 03:45 PM Mmmm. Yeah. I think I have gotten those once or twice. You will like click on something and then it will go to the ad screen and you just press "skip this ad".
