The last couple of times I've been on FF I've noticed when I'm trying to read a thread sometimes an advert will pop up on the screen blocking what I'm trying to read.
What's going on?

Annoying adverts on FF
The only one that's hacked me off was the one for an 'Asian' dating site, if it detected the cursor was anywhere near it the damn thing filled half a page hiding what you wanted to read :bang: :bang:
I've never seen anything like that., 
we dont have pop ups. run adaware
if possible,get a screen grab when it happens

I've had that one too. I only get it when on FF so don't think it's a general pop up advert otherwise it would occur when I visit other sites. Haven't had one on FF today though.
Just want to add (no pun intended!), that these adverts appear in the advert bar underneath the 'notices' section at the top of the forum. They do indeed seem to be adverts that are genuinely included in the forum like the 'Australia.com' advert I can see right now. Except this advert is sitting nicely in the little advert box and not doing annoying things like expanding whenever you go near it nor scrolling with the page and blocking everything unless you click on the 'x'.
Methinks a couple of adverts have been exploiting dodgy HTML code and loopholes?

how do I do a screengrab?
You can try holding down [ALT] and pressing [print screen]
Then you can paste that into something like paint to create an image file - please do not save as a BMP file though (the buggas are ruddy huge)
