Does anyone else get an entire webpage that sometimes pops up when on this website. It has happened to me 2 times now and I have ran my Norton virus scan and nothing was detected. When I go to navigate away from the page, it pops up and asks if I really want to. Anyone else get this??

It happens when you're not a paying member to the site. We don't see them. It's a yearly subscription of like 10-20 bucks. All of that goes bye-bye.

It happened to me the other day also, was the first time it has ever happened to me since I have been a member. And as you can see I have been a member since 2008.

It happened to me tonight (technically yesterday). It was a full page ad for an iPad that I couldn't exit out of so I just went back a page and reclicked the link. Not that big of an inconvenience, but could easily become more and more annoying.

ditto...been here since '08, and I got it. I sent in a complaint to the webmaster. IMHO, Its ok to do pop-up ads users can ignore/close...

it isn't ok to do AJAX windows (they disable the background app...in this case the IE interface) w/o an exit button or "x".

Most sites have a policy for advertisers which prohibits such things from happening...since I haven't seen it since Saturday, I'm thinking it got dealt with.

Got it the same time last night.

The pop-up jumps to the front and the irishenvy page in the background locks and the URL goes from irishenvy.com to facebinks.com.

Its happened prolly 5 times for me over the past week, and its usually the same, but last nights kept opening up threads of iexplorer.exe as i kept trying to kill them. After finally using PSkill I ended the entire thread.
