I just got a pop-up banner ad for tropicana orange juice when I was on billy's page. It only occurred on TexAgs and didn't show on the other tabs I have open.

I ran a virus scan and nothing showed up on it as I was thinking it might have been an issue with my computer. I use Google Chrome as my browser. When I hit the 'x' to close the ad, it popped back up after a couple of seconds. I closed the tab and reopened TexAgs to post this. No other ads have popped up since.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It just occurred again when I went to the Politics board. It will not allow to me close the ad or allow me to select a topic.

It can happen, but it's certainly not intentional. I will try to track down the rogue ad and make sure it is blocked. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is what it looks like and the code is on the right when I right-clicked and selected "Inspect"

No worries, I was mainly concerned as I never got one like that before and wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong on my end.

Just came here to post.

When scrolling to the bottom of the page, it interferes with links and features.

Getting a similar issue, but the ad keeps appearing in the middle of the page, blocking actual content.

Seeing it right now on this page with a Walgreens ad, has persisted both on main forum pages and on thread pages.
