Odd, I can't say I've ever seen one on there, and still don't.

First time, I've ever seen one. It may be the usual "sorry for the glitch in our ad programme" routine.

It was definately part of their page, javascript ad which was anchored with in the browser frame, not open in a separate browser window.

They may have had a change of heart, you did turn up the heat on 'em Dan. ":O}

I block 'em at several points and am to lazy to figure out which programs I have to shut down to be popped up. ":O}

no pop ups for me here :s not a pice of malware/adware that pops up stuff when it detects the inquirer? i'm sure they have annoyed a few companies in the past ¬_¬

I don't have malware on my system :P

The ad wasn't so much a popup (as in a new window opening). It appeared within, and on top of the page content, more of a pop-in than a popup!

It must have been triggered by code on their page, IMO. Of course, it may be their ad agent who targetted that ad on their site.
