ad popping up

I have seen this website pop up almost everytime I clicked on a topic this morning:

http://www.bannerplusapi.com/

the page loaded and then froze. I had to block that site to get into the forums. is this a new ad?

Re: ad popping up

Is the ad popping up in places it shouldn't? If it's just part of our normal ads then I don't see what the problem is. But if it's not, then we'll have to see what the problem is. Can you be a little more specific?

Re: ad popping up

It happens to me too when I'm on Internet Explorer, but not on Chrome (with Adblock). For IE users, maybe you can use simple adblock?

When I click on General WWE section or any section I am re-directed to this page - http://www.bannerplusapi.com/ like the OP.

It pops up when I goto a sub forum. The page loads and just hangs. I cannot get past it. IT doesn't display a click here to continue I would not be able to get to a sub forum if I didn't block the ad. I din't think the page loads correctly or finishes loading.

Yes, this!

I tried to log in last night, around midnight eastern timezone.
Everytime I clicked on a section, I was re-directed to that site.
Every single time, and there is no button to close it or return to the boards.


Today, I just downloaded an Ad blocker (adfender, was free).
I also had to add the site to my restricted sites.
But, it is definitely a problem.

Re: ad popping up

pop ups should never show up on our network and on the rare occasion one of the ad providers slips them through. If anyone gets one showing up please get a screen cap of the whole screen so we can see the page you are on and the ad its self. This will help me find out who's hand I need to slap for this appearing and make sure it does not appear again.

my email is pbarbosa@verticalscope.com if you can send the screen cap there it would be much appreciated.

Re: ad popping up

Just wished to add it does the same thing using my Mobile Phone too, it loads up Wrestlingforum home page but then just goes straight to the Banner site the OP
stated, if you press back on the browser same thing happens, loads up Wrestlingforum but them immediatly goes to the banner site.

Using Firefox it seems to be fine though like i say.
