I've not ever seen pop-ups on this site in the 2 years I've been visiting.

Could it be from another site you might have up in the background?

nope it was definatly this site. i refreshed a few times and haven't seen it since so im better now :)
 
I don't know if it's MR or not. The admins need the URL and a screenshot. If it is from MR, the admins can contact the ad service and have it removed.

From the FAQ: What do I do about annoying ads.

it was on the page right below the sony camera article. but i haven't seen it since so its fine. but if i do see it i will take a screenshot and send it to the admins.
 
its back :( everytime you roll over to expand the video starts

Still haven't seen that ad...BUT:

That's not a true 'pop-up', so a pop-up blocker would not have stopped that.
 
^^^ Can you post the link it refers to?

Ok its back. I opened a new window so it would stay on the screen. how do you find the url of the ad?

cancel i was trying to figure it out and it went away :(
