OK, now do I feel embarassed. I was unknowingly the cause, and also got annoyed and requested something be done 
OK, here's the thing. I was looking for a pic, which looked innocent enough. It was a money sandwitch which I was refering to Bill Gates having enough money to eat. Seemed to fit with the money toilet paper. Anyhow, all fine except it caused something to appear for peeps (perhaps except me).
You see, at home I was using IE (given a rendering issue with the price grabber widget at NVN displaying in Mozilla)... Yeah it's been discussed in their feedback forum, no biggie. But do to that I changed the browser I use in forums for right now...
Anyone else saw this in IE? I'm also using something to block ads, namely Proxomitron... It's basically a web proxy of sorts that sits on the local PC, and dynamically re-writes certain HTML before handing it to the browser. Proxomitron used to be updated quite often and was really good at blocking ads, though the UI could have been better (but hey, it was freeware). Since then it's been a discontinued product, no longer updated, and some ads have started getting through since.
Perhaps either it only affected Fire Fox, or perhaps Proxomitron was blocking this. Not sure which... Either case, I didn't see it, until I went to post from school.
So, was in class, we were installing certain intrustion detection tools we downloaded for the class in network security. (AKA labs where we'd be testing it out/using it).
Anyhow, had 30 MB or more of source code to download, on several installs (with dependencies and what not) to do a make, and then make install to get going on our linux boxes. The thing took ages on them old computers to compile, so I browsed forums and what not.
This is when I first noticed that stupid popup (in Fire Fox on Suse 9.2), and thought it was something more recent. tbh, I was annoyed too, but suspected it was something more recent.
I PMed Sazar (who was on at the time) to request he clean this one up (also not knowing which post had caused it), but guess he either ignored it or me... But got home, didn't see it again, and thought it was cleaned... Perhaps he did see, and didn't know what to think when it was my own fricken post
Sorry guys, it was an honest mistake, as I hadn't seen this happen upon having posted that pick myself. Had I known, by all rights, perhaps I should have reported my own dang post :laugh: In any case, I think I deserve a few well placed remarks/jokes for that one
