odd popup... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MsOrange · 11-18-2005, 11:23 AM

I only get this pop-up when I am here at SO. I get it at work too. I don't get it if I don't have SO up. I only get it every now and then. This is the first time i've gotten it at home, but i've seen it at work. I wasn't sure what server TJ was hosting the page on... so I didn't know if this was a big deal or not. Any idea what this is?

I keep getting that too! It's driving me crazy.

Jonathan · 11-18-2005, 03:18 PM

I get it in the Secret Santa thread.

I get it too. I thought it was this computer. Well, actually, I thought at first it was something for work since I'm on their computer, but I'm glad it's not.

Me too. So far nowhere else...I think.

I've been getting it too, but only in certain threads. I got it in the SS thread, on the 3rd page. Edited to add that I got it - twice - in Jack's "LMAO fun game try this" thread, on the 2nd page.

BTW I think TJ hosts the boards on casalmedia.com. Not 100% sure, though.

Moonlight Lady · 11-18-2005, 03:29 PM

I've gotten it too. I agree it's really annoying.

Oh yeah? So that's why I keep seeing that in my Temp Files folder.

there must be a picture or smiley in that thread that is hotlinked from a third-party server.

Casalemedia is an advertising provider for the site

there's probably a direct link to an image or something you need to log in to view, it's happened before.

PZelda · 11-18-2005, 06:26 PM

I figured it out, I was getting that alert twice on the "LMAO try this game" thread because swedeace posted the following smilie URLS:

http://server5.dedicateduk.com/~ace/thb/smilies/17.gif
http://server5.dedicateduk.com/~ace/thb/smilies/24.gif

And then on page 3 of the SS thread...Janice quoted swedeace's third post as it was originally posted, and Seth forgot to edit Janice's post when he was editing swedeace's third post on that page.

dawsongirl · 11-18-2005, 06:38 PM

MsOrange · 11-19-2005, 03:04 AM
