    Really annoying pop-up ad

    What's the deal with this pop-up? It appears in the middle of the screen, without a normal browser window and then folds away across the screen. It also happens more than once a day. Two questions:

    1. I already get banner ads - am I supposed to get a pop-up as well? (using default-civ3 style)

    2. Is this pop-up 'authorised'?

      Never saw that one! Maybe it appears only for those of us who have debts ....

        Apart from those in the community who have popupstopper...

          And I get steroid ads with IE. Unfortunately I have erased the screenshot I took of one of them. BTW I also get gambling related pop-ups.

            i get plenty of them.

            the ultra-special style does take care of the majority of them, so~

              I just think its bit much to expect us to participate in the forums under these conditions.

                Get a better browser. With Mozilla you can refuse pop-ups, but new windows still open if you click a link yourself.

                Opera is also a fairly good browser, but if you refuse pop-ups, they don't appear even when you want to. You can change that setting quickly though.

                  or, you can use opera, which had all those features long before mozilla...

                    As I don't live in USA or Canada, I get instead a message appologising the pop-up. How nice!

                      Q Cubed,

                      Mozilla is an open source program and also completely free, unlike Opera.

                        rasbelin, opera is a free download that's fully functional. all you get is a single banner in the upper right.

                        kinda like how 'poly used to be...

                              If I keep getting these new pop-up ads, I'm going to have to re-install ad-blocker software. C'mon, I've been a good boy, I took off my blocking software after the previous problem was resolved (what, a year ago?), I allow the regular ads to show.

                              Sometimes I get two at once (1 over screen, 1 underscreen).

                              Thank you...
