I was on the forum view page and I had a little circular blue and green survey popup. I thought you didn't do popups?

I had the same thing again today. Yours was the only site open too.

I have visited the site a few times since you posted this Rhys and I have not had a popup.
I have tried it in IE and Firefox.

Wacky - I get it on my Mac with Firefox.

I can't get it on this PC because all adverts are blocked through the hosts file.

Nothing on my Mac with Safari or Firefox. Strange....

I just got it again, it was only visible for 5 seconds, so getting a shot of it wasnt possible.

*ADDED*

Ok, so I found the advertisement(i think) on the main page. This one isnt the pop up that myself and others have gotten, but I believe its from the same "company" as its the same colors and its the same survey. The pop up is a cricle, though. Here is a SS of the ad on your main page... cropped to show the ad more clearly, if you want the full SS let me know..

Yes. Mine was circular but looked just like that. It was a popup that seemed to vanish after a few seconds.

If you use Firefox download the AdBlock Plus plug in.

No pop ups - ever!

Googling for safecount.net brings up a lot of complaints on various sites. Here's a particularly interesting one:

Ahh... QuestionMarket.com. That's blocked in my hosts file on the Windows box. I added it to the list on my Mac and it's now blocked there too :D

Okay, I think I know what that is. As part of Canon's ad campaign they're also doing a survey. I wasn't sure exactly how they were going to end up doing it, but that's it. Believe it or not, if you didn't allow them to do the survey, you didn't get the campaign! Sorry about that, guys.
