EPE survey and then pop ups?

Hi,
When I logged on just now, I was asked to complete a survey. I did this, as EPE has been very helpful to me over the years. I was offered a free prize - I'm guessing determined by my gender, which is annoying in itself - so I didn't bother claiming it as it would've involved filling in address etc details, which I didn't fancy doing. Now, everytime I bring up a new page on EPE I keep getting 'pop-ups' trying to sell me stuff AND covering the bottom and right hand side of the screen. They are extremely annoying :twisted:

Can anyone tell me if they've had the same experience? Is it my computer? was this a genuine survey from EPE? Administrator, can you tell me??

Hi FB

not sure what is happening! I haven't got anything like that - what browser are you using ?

I will alert our Programmer to this and see what he can find out.

HI fatbananas,

We did not put in any surveys on forum. I think what may have happened is some advert on Google Ads added this to our site. We will inform Google and ask for an explanation. If this happens again, please do let us know if you find anything suspicious. Thanks.
