Two Pop-up Ad Windows?!
Markos, et al.:
When I arrive at 'Poly, I get the usual big pop-up ad (currently, something about being the 10,000,000th visitor to a certain Web site). No problem there ... that's the style I've selected. But lately I've noticed that a *second* and *much smaller* "spy" pop-up ad shows up, usually next to or behind the main ad. What's up with this? Am I the only one to experience this?

I've had that a few times myself. I think my firewall blocks it though, as it never fully loads.

Yep, two windows definitely pop up, but I'm not bothered, since the popup-killer handles those problems.

Well, good, I'm not alone in experiencing something peculiar for once.

i will disagree with the characterization of "spy", as all i get is a blank window
it's not our doing, we didnt change anything in our codes
we will most probably be using a new popup service soon anyway...

I hate popups, which is why I use Opera rather than IE or netscape. Opera has a quick and easy option listed in the file menu for disabling popups. One click. . . no more popups.

Kc7mxo,
the wonders of Mozilla also include a such feature. And it's totally free compared to Opera that has those annoying built-in ads, except if you have a licensed version.

PH:
Uh-huh. Right. Reformat my HD, eh? Is that your answer to all computer problems.
Markos:
Well, OK. It's not, technically, a spy window. It's a blank sneaky window. There, is that better? **L**
