not from us. We pay to have ad blocking off. Doesn't come up on mine and I haven't had any complaints from anyone else. How long has this been happening?

Will check with InvisionFree to see if it is one of their advertising partners. No member should get ads (with the exception of Webring which we added) as we pay to remove them.

Will keep you posted. Otherwise, I recommend you run SpyBot or Ad-Aware on your PC to check for anything dodgy
Like I said, I use Linux so I don't have spyware on my computer & I can't run AdAware & Spybot. The ad started showing up the other day. Since I'm using FireFox, I have an ad blocker which is now blocking that popup(I hope... it hasn't reappeared yet). The ad points to http://ad.yieldmanager.com/adoutput/adoutput.swf

I sincerely hope invisionfree does not condone such a thing(I surely don't), & that the company responsible for literally forcing this popup is reprimanded.
