What's with the Pop-Up Ad?

Hey TB, what's with the Harvard Pop-Up Ad? Is that new?

There shouldn't be any pop-up ads on this forum at all. None, zero, zip.

Is anyone else seeing pop-up ads here, and if so, what are the ads for??

I dont see it anymore for now, but I had a window poping and asking for my network password at work everytime I read new messages, and it was for Harvard just as Lise said.

Weird. If it appears again, please take a screenshot of it.

Ummmm, Michel....Is this you:

It's your avatar. Maybe that has something to do with it?

oh, i had the pop up ad earlier.  it asked me to open a document of some sort or download something.  I just clicked cancel and it disappeared.  i've seen this pop up on DV before and was really hesitant to visit DS during working hours.  nothing seems to be popping up now.

OK. No more pop-up ads. That's what I thought. TB doesn't do pop-up ads here.
