This morning I had the strangest thing: I was going to post a new discussion in my forum and in my text box a flashing ad showed up. It was a clickable ad. I was not able to type or edit, had to close it and started all over. Anyone had the same experience? 

Here's a screenshot:

Hahah wild fire indeed

That sounds super weird. I haven't heard of that and definitely want to know more. May I ask if you have a specific category or area or page where this happened? I can try to check it out. If you'd prefer not to offer that publicly, you can also work with our team one-on-one via a support ticket. 

Eric, I had it happening once before but got tangled up in something else so I totally forgot. 

Both of them were in the same category of the forum: http://letsscrap.ning.com/forum/categories/weekly-winners/listForCa...

What I forgot: It is a flashing add, seems like a movie. Looks really good............. ;)

Could it be something in my CC? 

Eric, it happened to me again yesterday. Same category in the forum, same ad. 

Do you use any browser extensions? 

I was talking to my associates about this, and they are almost certain this is a browser-related issue. They had reports like this and investigated and the issue went away when people upgraded their browser. 

I checked my extensions and besides my antivirus software extension I had a Facebook purity extension. I now deleted that one and have only the antivirus one. 

If it happens again I'll submit a ticket.

Thanks Eric :)
