Pop up ads on the wiki.....
Only recently started getting these where whenever i click on a wiki page i get a new window opening with an ad in it.... any way to get rid of these as they are annoying the hell out of me atm as i'm using the wiki quite a bit? And before you ask, yes I do have a pop-up blocker and no it's not blocking these

Re: Pop up ads on the wiki.....
Just for some alternate input, I disabled Firefox's native pop-up blocker, disabled the AdBlock Plus add-on, and disabled NoScript and began clicking around the wiki. No pop-ups at all. So I have two possible solutions:
1. Spiff fixed the problem, or
2. You may have some malware on your computer.
Well, that's all I've got for now. Move along.

Re: Pop up ads on the wiki.....
Heh, might be that. I have been using my old computer which doesn't have internet protection so if Spiff can't find a problem thenit may be that. I didn't know malware could do that

Re: Pop up ads on the wiki.....
Spiff has no access to the Wiki backend, so it's highly unlikely she'll be able to fix anything much at all. It's just Bidvertiser though, so it's pretty common and bog-standard and your popup-blocker SHOULD be able to block it... unless bidvertiser's found some smartarse, clever way of getting around popup blockers. In which case... there's going to be more than just the Paradox wiki we all need to worry about.
Sigh.

Bad Spiff! I wonder what Bidvertiser is doing that gets around popup blockers. Bastards.
