Hello,

I am not seeing any pop-ups on this website. I browse with Apple/Firefox, Apple/Safari, Windoze/Firefox, Linux/Firefox, and Linux/Konquerer. No notices of attempted pop-ups.

I would consider myself a regular cross-platform viewer.

Thanks for all the replies, and I'm thrilled someone else has seen them!

Ya, I suppose I should move out of the '80s and use a different browser. If it redeems me any, my iBook is running Safari, but my wife hogs that machine. :-)

Well I spoke to one of the ad networks that I deal with, and it appears one of their advertisers has somehow snuck a script-invoked popup into one of their non-popup campaigns! Please let me know if anyone is still getting any popups

And yes, Safari redeems you.

Haven't seen them in days past either. Could be because I block scripted ActiveX and I did get a few attempts to run those in the past few days.
My popup killers didn't report blocking anything...

And yes, I use IE as well (and have never had a spyware/trojan/whatever infestation since 1997 when I started using the net).
