Does anybody else notice things like this happening? Looks like an Ad is hijacking the page, or maybe I've got spyware by accident???
:?

You know I get those too, but not here... I get them at infoSync.

No, no, it's not Spyware - it's a new type of advertising from Tribal Fusion. We've only implemented it on the review page for testing purposes, and I thought it was only one view, but I guess it's on all of them. I'll up a front page post explaining what it is...but it's not spyware - it's up on our server, not on your local computer.
I'll also split this dicussion off since it has nothing to do with the game...

Thanks Jason... sorry for posting in the review thread, I didn't know if it was specific to that page, and I thought if it was going to show up for others, they'd see it there.
It only came up for me about 1-in-5 page refreshes, which is why I didn't think it was spyware, but since I'm on my work computer, I thought I'd double check... I don't want to be responsible for bringing down a nationwide network!

Tried that, first thing. I managed to get it working in IE... once -- but only after a lot of privacy settings tweaking. Oh well.

I meant to do up a post explaining what it was before we launched it, but I ran out of time. I'll do it tomorrow - it's just a little experiment.
Why were you pissed though? Do you find them frustrating? It's just text until you mouse over the word...
