I've seen this one a couple of times now, couldn't screen grab it the first time but got it this time. It slides up over the page from the bottom of the window. This one was in the Lounge.


It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Sent to higher authority. The report that is. I lack the ability to send the advertiser on to their reward.

That would be a cool power to have. Guy sitting in chair in Marketing department. - poof - Guy disappears. Small waft of smoke where he was sitting.

The "power" should be a really big, shiny red button... Or a gong. Maybe a gong would be better...

I'll keep my opinion to myself, since this is a family board and all.

Any chance you can get a URL on the ad? The name on the ad is less useful than one might think, since most ads get booked through intermediary services.

If I see it again, I'll click-through. It disappeared after I took the cap.

When I engaged my 'MacNN' bookmark this morning, I'm getting a message suggesting this site will harm my computer. I've always known that this site could harm my ego, but my machine? Is this 'malware' warning something y'all are seeing as well or just me? If others... why? or... why now? What's up?

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!?

ebuddy, you're talking about the main MacNN page triggering this warning, right? We've had this issue before, and if it's cropped up again, we need to get it fixed again.

Thanks for the heads-up.
We're aware of it and are working on it.

My bookmark links to forums.macnn.com and it was then that I received the warning, but not on this go so I suspect y'all cleared it up... already. Thank you.

Another popup survey thing. I didn't take a screenshot but here's the URL:

Code:

And another one, in the Lounge this time. I've had it on iPhone over the weekend and on the computer this morning, it moves slowly from right to left. Got screen grabs but not the URL (I was too busy getting a screen grab, and I use safari so I can't get the url from history if I did click on it).



It'll be much easier if you just comply.

They're back, just had a red floating ad in Gaming. I'll keep a lookout for any more and try to get URLs

It'll be much easier if you just comply.
