When I click on anything it brings up my pop up blocker and I have to click on things again. It is kinda annoying. Any suggestions?

I've suddenly noticed about 7 zillion times more pop-up ads. I didn't mind the occasional ones before, but it's getting out of hand now.

I just got the worst of the worst pop-ups.

When I click to close the box, I get an alert box, “Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?”

If I click “OK” it tries to take me to the virus site. If I click “cancel” the page doesn’t close and the alert box pops up again.

In other words, you have to click something or the alert still beeps. Whatever you click, you are stuck and the window won't close.

I have to open my task manage and “end task” which closes all of my windows and I lose my work.

Yes, the pop ups have increase by 100% today.

This doesn’t not make me smile.

Those are bad and hard to get rid of. Boot up in safe mode and run your virus scan....

Yep, I have done that too. :thumbsup:

It seems every navigation link I click on Mingle now results in a pop up. It used to be one every so often but I can't change the page without the pop ups.

Even with smileys??? Really??? I can't click a smiley without a pop up??

This is not good.

The worst part is that even FaceBook is acting buggy today. Problems with both FB AND Mingle? OH, the humanity! I just might have to leave the house for my dose of human interaction! OH NO!!!!!!!

We're working to correct this ad-related problem right now. Thanks for reporting it, everybody.

Yeah, this should no longer be an issue. We made an adjustment with the new company which is providing the ads. We do apologize for the disruption.

yes it's better however, i just ran a scan and found 92 tracking cookies-all from today and all came from this site, as this is the first and only place i have visited today.

seems a bit excessive to me...but i guess its a small price to pay for such outstanding entertainment...laugh
