I am also using Chrome, and I did see something like Mickster has shown, whether it was on this site I cannot remember, but it was a fleeting thing and t the time I thought it was because I had passed the mouse pointer across some link.
The pop-ups have started again for me, sliding from the left side of the screen.
It's quite a pain to have to close something, when I did not click anything to open it, or hover the mouse over a link.
Is this something that is here to stay?
I don't get the popups, but I use "NoScript"in my Firefox. Looking at Noscript status, I see I have NOT allowed/enabled ml314.com (as well as a few others), so its script is blocked, thus possibly blocking those popups. My Adblock Plus is disabled on this site, so those popups are not via "ads" per say, but rather thru scripts on this web site.
I've been getting less here lately but I got 2 at a time on EDA Board tonight and a third when I closed the first 2.
I guess I won't miss EDA Board. For some reason I never got much out of that one anyway.
