FreqFace Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Just installed IE8 RC1 and I'm getting these pop-ups when browsing Neowin. It disappears as soon as I click anything else or scroll. Is this due to Neowin or something else? Never had it before.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreqFace Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Yeah flash, they just suddenly appear while browsing and disappear as soon as I click anything or scroll the page. UK btw. Saying that, I haven't encountered them today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelli Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Seem to be a fair amount of ad issues recently :( Shame really. Neowin Staff go give those advertisers a bash round the head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dead.cell Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I pulled up IE7 and didn't see any ads. I saw where they would go, but nothing inside of them. The damn "smart" text ads are still working though. Maybe they're working on something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I haven't seen these. I'll see if I can duplicate the ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreqFace Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) It seems to be since I started using IE8 RC1 (not Beta 2), if that helps Only seems to be happening on Neowin. Edited January 27, 2009 by FreqFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin-uk Veteran Posted January 27, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) ive got these a few times with IE6 too, i dont think its a popup window as such i think its more of a toggled div or something like that because it doesnt have any borders.. wondered where it came from at first :p the ads stay on screen until i click the little close button on the bottom corner for me.

Sean B. Veteran Posted January 27, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 27, 2009 I thought maybe I had some sort of adware program, but I've been getting these ads as well. And it started when I installed RC1 yesterday. It seems like it's targeting by region, because I'm getting Gatlinburg Resort and Nashville "Music City" ads as well.
