Hi all, Well, it's 8:47 am here on the EAST COAST US just for you timekeepers. So, we aren't running any type of ad that pops up on the AU forum. The only non-google type ad you should be seeing is the static Silversea ad running at the very top of the forum, and it doesn't pop. You have to actually click it, it's easily scrolled past. I would be VERY appreciative if someone could take a screenshot of the ad right after it pops up, and either upload here to this topic or send to me at community@cruisecritic.com so I can get to the bottom of this. Thanks, Host Kat, for stepping in here and moving to the Need Help forum, and to all of you for reporting this. Edited to ask: if you could capture the URL (web site address of the ad) in the screenshot that would be SUPER helpful. Laura
