Anyone else. AI is popping forward when a page finishes loading. Very annoying for those of use that hit a link then click to another window while it's loading.
I'm using tabs with Safari and it's showing this same behavior. I'll start a thread loading in a tab and go to another thread in a different tab. In the middle of reading, BAM, it switches back to the other tab, as if to say, "Hey! Look at me! I've finished loading over here!"
Why can't AI have an optional ad-free subscription thing? I'd pay $1 or $2 per month to get it ad-free. Yeah, I have my Mac at home with ad-immune Safari + Pith Helmet, but I also have a computer at work. I'm sure AI doesn't get more than $1 per month per member.
It could be like Low End Mac. They have an ad-free subscription offer going on as well. I think it's about $20 per year. And they don't even have popups, just banners.
happens here too with safari. REALLY annoying. i thought my safari had gone nuts, or it'd be ntl causing trouble.
i HATE when the tab comes to front when i don't want to.
also those horrible windows message alert banners seem to cause loading problems. in 10 minutes some posts dont load up, so i'm losing my patience in AI. most other sites work fine, and the generally slow ones seem very fast today. if 1 of 10 tried posts manages to come thru, it's first 1 / 10 of the post, second also 1 / 10 of the normal time here as that's annoying .. so 1 / 100 of normal time.

At least I'm on top of the problem..even if it means being a loser..for using IE with OS 9.2.....

Addendum..It now appears to have finally switched off..or had the plugged pulled..
Thank God for little miracles...

although i must say the edited hosts files ROCK!

So, there's nothing I can do but recommend OmniWeb, PithHelmet, or the /etc/hosts block.

However, I still have a user complaining that this problem is still persisting as of 7:30pm EST on the 23rd of Sept.
Is anyone else having this problem? If so please list your OS/Browser version in this forum.
Obviously if you do not have cookies turned on there is no way for the pop banners to know to stop popping up.

At home I use Safari / OS X on my 15"PB Alu which blocks pop-ups.

I'm running into this from work as of today. That is, if you are talking about pop-up ads. This is from work using IE / Win2K.

Make sure javascript is enabled and cookies are enabled. There is no way this problem should persist if those criteria are met.
Cheers,
