A few of us were experiencing some malicious pop-up ads on the site yesterday. We don't run any pop-ups anywhere on the site, so they are not coming from us. I suspect it is a bad ad being served by a 3rd party.
If anyone sees anything suspicious, let me know in this thread. Note the ad that you see if you get the pop up so I can get it out of there.

It might be the dramamine ad that looks wrong in the ad box.
Someone else just told me they just got the pop-up.

it has been confirmed as a problem ad. The network has been informed and it has been taken out of rotation. It should be completely out in 2 hours or so, so it anyone sees it beyond that, let me know.

My dumb ass didn't realize it was a joke until now.
