Hi!
http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/4430/chromen.gif as an example.
I saw this once in a while lately on various web sites. It is very annoying. No filters blocked it yet? I am using fanboy, adblockrules, easylist+easyprivacy, etc.
Thank you in advance.

@fanboy: That script is for internal advertising, the banner format is different as well - definitely not the issue here. Judging by the link in the status bar, api.toptenreviews.com is the culprit. I cannot see the ad either however.

The ad. comes up very rarely and randomly. I should had done a view info. The problem is not easy to reproduce it if I reload or whatever.

I noticed this on a site I go to as well.
http://www.physorg.com/
Code: Select all
<script type='text/javascript' id='popup_tag_script' src='http://api.toptenreviews.com/r/c/request.php?path=tmn/partner/physorg&sub_id=testsubid'></script>
http://www.space.com/
Code: Select all
<script type='text/javascript' id='popup_tag_script' src='http://api.toptenreviews.com/r/c/request.php?path=tmn/space&sub_id=default'></script>

I'm still seeing the add on space.com and i just added easylist and fanboyz list as i just made a new separate firefox profile for minefield 64bit nightlys a few minutes ago, It disappears by itself after a set amount of time. If you clear cookies and cache you will see the ad again. I bet this url toptenreviews.com/i/misc/ is just all there ad crap, I'm thinking of just adding that to my personal filters. I don't ever visit toptenreviews site anyway so if it does block anything else for me on that site i could care less lol.
