Anyone else see this? Viewing an FOFC thread and an obnoxious triangle floated across the bottom of the screen and stopped in the middle.
That would get old fast.

Seen that for the last several months whenever I'm stupid enough to use IE.

I did a shaft of white light come in from the left, and exit out the right to make a prism? If so, you experienced the Dark Side of the Moon. I wish I could be so lucky.
:D

I keep getting Paris Hilton wrestling Nicole Ritchie, but no triangles so far.

unfortunately, it's not just IE, although it still pretty rare (as is the banner ad that drops down).

Annoying as hell.

Yeah that ad has made my work surfing of this board something that I'm not as happy to do.

FireFox with the script blocker extension. I'm totally ad-free here.

Ah...
The script blocker extension.
I'll have to look that one up.
No more triangle sightings, though.
Glad to hear it wasn't my drugs messing with me.

I saw the triangle, and it fuckin' sucks.
Godzilla Blitz

I saw it again.
You just wait. Now it's once every two weeks. Soon it'll be once a week. Then it'll starting flashing. Then three times a week. Then it'll start singing. Pretty soon it'll be there every time we open a window.
Doom! We are all doomed.
Death to the triangle.
One of these days I've got to download that no-script thingie...

First they gave me pop-up ads, but I had a pop-up blocker, so I didn't complain...

It doesn't bother me at all, and I hate Firefox, so it's not a biggie to me. It's a slight inconvenience.
If I get to the point in my life that a slight inconvenience makes me as angry as some of you dudes, I will ask my wife to feed me a gallon of Draino while I sleep (I wouldn't want to commit suicide, of course).

A pink triangle.
Is it a pink triangle? I wonder what that is an ad for. Isn't a pink triangle symbolic for the holocaust in some way?

The pink triangle was the symbol gays were forced to wear on all their clothes in Nazi Germany, just like Jews had the yellow David star.

I avoided firefox for the longest time because it was all the rage and I hate that shit.
I started using it and hated it until I got used to tabbed browsing and became hooked on the extensions that enhance my browsing experience.
Drink your Draino® pal, drink up.

I used Firefox + Adblock and NoScript yet I still get banner ads at the top of FOFC. :(

Isn't AdBlock a manual blacklist thing, though? I use that, and I had to manually add a few sites to the blacklist at first.
Now, barely anything slips through, and when it does, I blacklist it.
