Major Related Problem!!!!
I have no clue why either, but I'm having a related problem that is making the board unusable. When the pop-up comes up it is wiping out the the middle and right side of the message area. All that shows is the first 20 characters of each sentence, everything to the right of that is blank. The page header displays fine, the problem is strictly in the message area. Refreshing the page just creates another pop-up.
I just checked out a multi-page topic and also found it is displaying one reply per page instead of the normal 5-8 replies.

Haven't gotten your PM Cathy and I also sent one to lil goldie. Don't know if she got it. I realize there will be hiccups but this is, well, I dunno.

pop-ups
Not quite sure what is going on, thought maybe it was just me, but from what I can tell other members are having the same problem.
Can not navigate or even see complete posts because of pop-ups, or even being redirected to other sites.
Do I need to change some setting on my computer or what.
Hopefully I will be able later in the day to get in to read replies.

We are testing new ad placements and a new ad network.
Round 1 = Epic Fail
The ad network promised a widget that would deliver targeted ads for high-demand consumer products (iPods, Lifestyle, Home & Garden, Fashion) ... flashing porn pop-ups are not what we signed up for.
I think the evidence (3 threads, 15+ posts - all from 11pm to 7am) speaks pretty clearly.
Our next step in the plan is to begin a larger campaign reaching out to vendors and service providers in the floral space. I'd much rather be serving ads from trainers, consultants, POS companies and wholesalers than crappy weight-loss belly flab ads.
In the end it comes down to revenue - we need to find ways to make FC more self-sustaining. I know that soft porn and faucets are not the answer, but we have to have actual ad placements (real estate) to sell, and connecting with good advertisers takes time.
The offending ad widget has been disabled, though it may take a little while for the ad server to stop displaying the ads. Hopefully by top of the hour it will be all gone.

Anyone else

Hmmm.... seems to me if it's soft then the porn isn't working to it's full potential.
