I had that pop up as I was logging on a minute ago. I thought something was weird its never done that before. I figured I hit a link or something.

Ad-Blocker Plus and NoScript on Firefox takes care of that kind of crap.

Hmmm...that definitely sounds fishy.  I certainly don't allow pop-ups on the site.  I don't see them either.  Can you tell me if there is a specific page where they always popup?  Maybe capture a pic as well?

That is the only time I've ever seen that happen and it was just as the site was pulling up. I'm using dolphin right now and like I said its never happened before. Maybe a fluke.

I block all ads and pop-ups, so these don't come to me

I am using Firefox with a pop up blocker on (I checked) that is why I found it weird.  I went back in history to pull up the ad because it went away real quick.      It hasn't happened again, but was unusual that it lead out with special offer for visitors to cigargeeks.com
