Austin FraktI saw a popup ad on TIE today (see below). This is unacceptable. We do not allow advertising here. But it’s happened before that some third-party we rely on (e.g., for traffic monitoring) pushes popups our way. This is bad behavior and we won’t tolerate it. We’ll dump that third-party, once we figure out who it is. My only other worry is that it’s my computer that’s the problem, not the site. (I will run a malware scan.)
Have you seen an ad here? If so, let me know in the comments, by email, or Twitter. Please grab a screenshot and share it as well, if you can.

Another possible culprit is a mobile carrier. I haven’t seen it in the US, but in India assorted mobile data providers will insert advertisements in various pages.
The solution is to encrypt your site (use https, not http).
