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.

Ive never seen one on LEIA. Weird. They are sponsers they she has put on her page if they do show up.

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.

No... I don't think I've seen that anywhere... I'll keep my eyes on the look out for that.

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.

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!

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.

Upload it to a place like Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/) or ImageShack (http://imageshack.us/) and post the URL.

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".
