Anyone else getting a weird pop up on top of the page? PLEASE SEE POST #57

No offense intended , But, Whether you are a contributor or just a regular user should make no difference when site security is concerned. Deliberate redirect popup malware is not a typical ad. I mean I understand the regular ads but this was / is completely different....Anyway , I found using an aggressive redirect blocker has fixed the issue for me as does going into site info and deleting the lines of malware and blocking it from returning stopped it for me....

Nobody said it was malware or a security issue with B&B. All that was said was that Contributors should not be seeing ads and if they are to report them here. Our IT guy will look in to it.

I am getting this popup now too.

Usually Chinese coded redirects though are a form of Malware was all I was saying , even if it is only a no threat version.... I meant no offense and if it would be more appropriate then please edit or delete the post in which that was mentioned...

It says “Site feedback: did you find what you’re looking for?” You can select yes or no (I didn’t select either). Clicking the little x to close leads you off to another site. I am running an iPhone 14 plus with Safari, all software is up to date as of 2 days ago. I am a contributor (no ads). I have included a screenshot.

Try setting your browser to “Private” and see if that makes a difference.

@Toothpick
I might has chosen a too strong of wording... I probably should have said aggressive popup redirect.. I apologize for using the "M.W" wording as some don't know that there are versions that are quite benign.. They simply pop up and attempt to get you to click on them for the purpose of redirecting you to another page.... Simply using a "blocker" or right clicking on the area and then clicking on info will pull up a box that will allow Anyone to edit out the text that is causing the redirect. Honestly it is quite simple. So simple in fact that I would think even @FarmerTan could probably do it ..

Sorry for the confusion. I added that I was a contributor to show that it wasn’t an ad (contributors don’t see ads).

If you Contributors continue to see this, please let us know.
Contributors are NOT supposed to see any ads at all, of any kind.

Thanks Phil, it’s gone.

We have a request in for IT to take a look.

It's fine. I was just saying that it was Not a normal ad and that no one should be getting confronted with it whether paid or not... Normal ads are expected for non contributors. This was not normal though was my point... I hope everyone is able to get rid of this particular nuisance...
Okay that's it from me....

No offense taken.
It's simply that when something isn't going right, IT has to fix it.
IT works for a living and has to be paid for work done.
How do we pay for IT, licenses, software upgrades, customization and fixes?
Contributors that's how.
