The site has pop ups?

And I'm using IE... so according to mass hysteria I should have a truck load of them! But no pop ups from me. My pop up blocker is on, but other than banner adverts, I can't honestly say that I've ever had a pop up... pop up on SSMB except for when I used to turn on PM notifications with the pop up function.

Could be that you have some kind of spyware or virus even that causes pop-ups on sites that shouldn't be having them. Run a test to make sure you don't have anything (in case you're not sure what to use, Ad-Aware and Spybot for spyware, and Trend Micro for viruses if you don't already have some kind of anti-virus program on your computer).

We do not have pop-ups here and we never will.

There are no popups on our website, forum or anywhere else. Unfortunately it looks like you've got some spyware on your computer. I suggest trying Lavasoft Ad-aware (they have a free version) to dig out those nasty bastards.

It was only on Vista.

It was only on Vista.

Then it's within your Vista installation.

Sounds like spyware.

Might you be talking about the "You have a new Personal Message" thing?

[TheSoulPurge]

No. I'm talking about popup advertisements. It gets annoying.

One more thing, it was ONLY on The Sonic Stadium website.

What do the pop-ups contain?

I never get pop ups on this site. I have a feeling you may have some sort of Spyware. I'd look into finding out what it is, and using an Anti-Virus program to remove it.

Actually, earlier today, I came on these forums from a different computer and I got a pop-up. (I make darn sure I don't get any on MY computer. ) And like Adek said, it was only for this site. So unless that computer had spyware on it, then I think this might be a legit problem.
