Very frustrating, but it didn't happen every time. When it did happen, I would just leave the site and comeback later and no problem. Seems O.K. today.

Try changing your Pop Up Blocker settings. On Internet Explorer, the default setting is medium; try changing it to high, which is supposed to block all popups, and see what happens. Mine is set at medium, and I have never encountered a popup on this site.

FYI. I had the problem when I used FireFox and it went away when I started using M Explorer. What browser are you guys using? Jim

On my I phone I turn off the Java script and that usually stops it.

It's not a pop-up. It's a redirect: it just goes to another website as if you had clicked on something. When it happened on my phone, I assumed that I'd accidentally swiped an ad -- easy to do on many touchscreens. When it happened on my PC, I knew there was an issue.

Alright, you techies; let's ponder this. Let's come up with a revenge program called Boomerang. Boomerang, when activated, takes all spyware, cookies, pop ups and the like and fires it back at the computer that sent it. It also shields your computer from any and all attempts to infiltrate your system with unwanted intrusions-kind of like a telemarketer screen for your computer. Now, for the real revenge, Boomerang II is a system that returns all malware with destruction, permanently disabling destruction of the computer that sent it and the one that it was originated on. It would fatally destroy the system it came from so that that computer would never work again,at the expense of the perpetrators of this stuff. Any takers??

Interesting...I just got a pop up ad for Dungeons and Dragons when I clicked on forum tools to mark a forum read. Back arrowed and all is good.

It started happening two or three days ago only on CR and only on my laptop. Occurs about 1 out of 3 times I open CR.

Here is the link that it redirects to:
