Not that kind of popups.


Has anyone been getting popup ads that show up during game replay? This has been happening since yesterday. Also, I noticed that the game summary hasn't been showing up when the game replay ends. Is this just me? Any suggestions?

Nothing like that for me with Firefox.

I had a game replay just stop and couldn't get it to finish. Had to look at the score.

I don't mind advertising over on the side but absolutely hate popup ads I have to click to make go away. The ad server is in charge on that and can just as easily run code upon click as clear the popup. Plus a bad habit to get in to of just clicking things that pop up unexpectedly.

I would email strat and ask them about it. See if they will say they are using popups to generate revenue. Unacceptable since we pay to play. If they say they are not doing so that could mean you have adware on your machine and need to take steps to get rid of it.

I just watched my 3 game set from last night using IE with popup blocker turned off and no popups.
So that indicates Strat is not serving these to you which points toward a virus/adware has got installed.
Go to your add/remove programs and google anything you do not recognize.
