I didn't take a screen shot, but it was saying I needed to set up some kind of financial subscription to the forum to continue using it. Will try and be more alert if/when it happens again. I had it too, a one off pop-up advert for forum subscriptions, offering a free month as I recall. No requirement to subscribe, just an offer. The ad could be closed easily. Mine was a tall narrow, mobile phone portrait orientation shape, but in my case in the middle of a desktop monitor screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Same ad here. No problems in closing it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
