Yes, I just got one, clicking to a topic from the "new topics" list. Very very annoying.

Yeah. The pop-ups themselves are not as annoying as the fact that their appearance resets the bulbs, folders, and "last visited" time.

Me too--yesterday. Strange. Happened just once, and not since.

I only visit these boards infrequently of couse (!) but thankfully have not seen this current round of pop-ups.

Can anybody tell me if this is still happening? If so I'll get right on it and see what I can find out.

Unfortunately, I did not see the Lycos campaign during it's run on the site. I have verfied though, that the user absolutely HAD to click on the ad in order to activate the pop up--at which point about six different windows came up, but the banner looked like a standard 468x60 until it was clicked on. I hope that this clarifies the situation.

Sorry, that may be what you were told, but that was not correct. I hit a streak of them, and all I was clicking on was a series of topics inside forums, nowhere near any banner.
