pop ups on this forum

[pedstagn71]

I am getting a ton of pop ups here on the forum it is only this site that is doing it just wondering if anyone else is having this problem it just started last night I'm not sure if its the site or my darn computer I would think if it was my computer it would do it on other sites to but I just don't know i'm not real computer savy so I just don't know

I run a free program called addblockerplus. It's great. Even YouTube videos don't show the commercials when they start.

Thanks for reporting back. I have never seen a pop-up ad on this site since its inception in July 2010.

There should never be any pop up ads here...only vendor/supporter ads at the top and Google ads at the bottom.

I don't get any pop ups on either my home or work computers or my Kindle.

I just had an experience where my message about SOG knives contained an ad.
I thought it was related to the SOG website because they use the same popup.
I removed the link and it is still there. When I don't logon as a just guest, no ad.
Ran a Malware scan and nothing turned up.
