Ithildin Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Foiled again :ninja:Thank you! I wondered what that was about; I was redirected to a page that said something similar to "please take a minute to visit our sponsor", which would then allow me to create a cartoon avatar akin to Greenwarden's. I figured it was entirely harmless. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 At least it's not like some of the ads I've seen before, where you have to sit through a timer and potentially even a video before it lets you progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitrus Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I don't like when an ad, no matter how harmless, uses cross site scripting (xss) which this one obviously does. It's unsafe and shouldn't be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spkrforthedead Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 The ad isn't too irritating in my opinion, (I've seen enough of them that clicking the skip button is almost a reflex by now) but that still doesn't explain why the middle mouse button no longer opens pages in a new window/tab. Is this related to the new ad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupremeRobert Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Noticed when giving kudos/endorsements it opens a smaller window then also loads the same window in the background page you just were on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spysix Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I think you need to find ads that use better methods. Redirecting when I click on tabs and etc that will try and get me to click for "free cursors" or some other junk I don't need. Oh and it doesn't let me skip.

Jazzyy Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) For some reason when I use Middle mouse button to open things in new tabs it doesnt work. Neither does ctrl + click. I have to right click > open in new tab to open items in that way. Works fine everywhere else, though. Even on this site.

Lexx666 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 It seems that the add is malfunctioning, cause when going to tesnexus.com for example, the redirect stops to execute, meaning it wont redirect if your not logged into the site.Anyway, after logging in, nothing causes any trouble it seems, and maybe some browsers seem to have issues with the redirect stopping and not forwarding to the link from before.Could be a minor issue though.

blove Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Interstitials suck. The ones you are using even more than most. ...I've added a new adformat that's meant to display once every 3 hours or so... Per tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedVexHK Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Sorry Dark0ne.. unless this was during your "fixerupper" I also got a redirect from a file ..I was looking at the files Image section and instead got redirected.. my script blocker and spam protection blocked the ad but did report it ,as well I had not gotten to the images for this file.. closing the browser window to that page and reopening it resolved the issue....BUUUT.. I'm not a premium member.. just little miss ordinary. P.S. it only happened to me one time... so hey.. it may have been during your work resolving the issue.. no biggie..
