More/new full page ads on AF?

I just got sent to two ads in a row when clicking on the classifieds and clicking on the off topic.

Instead of directing me straight, here, it sent me to some phone advertisement that was the whole page!

And then it started playing some song...

This is suckage, is this happening to you guys?

I have most ads blocked, but the latest ones are really getting beyond it!

Re: More/new full page ads on AF?

I haven't seen any of these ads ...yet. I usually use Firefox to browse this site, will have to try IE and see what happens, even though I have their pop up blocker, some new ads are starting to get through just like freakray said in the above post. It doesn't take long for new technology to defeat security measures set up to protect us on the web.

its not a pop up ad, it goes straight to the full page add, and then you can click on a link that says "continue to blah blah"

Nope, never seen that either.

www.getfirefox.com, and download the adblock component too.
