The speed difference between the Firefox and Chrome webkits is hardly noticeable unless you're operating at dial-up speeds; in which case the browser you're using is the least of your worries.

Is anyone else seeing a 30 second long pop-up ad when they log in? let me know because we didn't put it there.

I saw one a few days ago, but none since then.

I am randomly seeing the ads. I am using Chrome. There doesn't seem to be a certain spot on the website that does it, but I only notice it on this website. It's very annoying when I'm trying to reply to someone's post and get the 30 second ad.

For Chrome/Chromium users, when the ad pops up, right click it and click "inspect element". This will bring up a funny window with a lot of techno-jargon. In this window, assuming you right clicked on the ad, you'll see the bar highlight one line in particular. In this highlighted line is the source of the ad displayed as a url (www.YYYYYYYYYYYYY.com/YYYYYYYY/YYYYYY.YYY). You can right click the highlighted portion and select remove element to get rid of the ad. It may still play sound but at least the video will be gone and you can resume typing/browsing.

Additionally, if the highlighted line could be copied, I'm sure Aneurysm could make good use of it to eliminate the source of the problem if it's on the website itself.

Post a screen shot of the advert to the forum,
along with your broswer settings.

Sounds like you may have "Snap.do" or "Conduit" search engine virus. Well!, not a virus perse' more like competition to the bigger search engines, but without user approved installation. Competition prevents monopoly prevents greed..

I've never seen an ad while signing in, but then again I've got this machine set to revenge level settings because of all of the the unwanted flashy, blinky crap that was pushed over my dial up connection back in the day.

Just saw this for the first time. I am using Firefox and I did a full scan (including rootkit); no malicious items found. Here is a screen shot:

That's what I get, too. Not always, but it has occured a half dozen times. I'm using chrome.

You might want to try Addblock Plus, https://adblockplus.org. It is an open source free addon for most browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera, Safari and Droid). The home page will detect your browser and automatic take you to the correct download for your browser. I installed it on my Firefox at home because I started getting ads popping up in front of the start of youtube videos and by the time I could close them, I missed part of the video.
