    However, notice:
    1. It has a short time-out (waaay shorter than the forums)
    2. You have to login using the forums
    3. You can't lock it to your IP (so you *have* to login)

    I just noticed the add-bug this morning. Once a klasseloteriet.dk add and another one in Pink&black that I couldn't read. Strange that I get Danish adds while in Germany. Browser: Chrome on ubuntu. Would be nice if this gets fixed, because this is a serious usability killer.

    Dunno about misbehaving ads, but I know the new one-time popover ad can't be closed in Akregator (KHTML).

    What I was going to add:
    I'll have to look into phoronix premium.

    Wow. I disable adblock+ to see what is going on. And I am greeted with two flash video ads, and large google ad image at top.

    And you wonder why people block ads!?!?

    And why when I disable adblock+ do I see firefox connecting to about a dozen different servers? Sounds like a good/easy way to get malware.

    I trust phoronix.com
    I do not trust ad servers.
    Come up with a way that the ads are hosted on phoronix server and you review each ad and I'll allow them to be shown.

    No worries, I've already been developing safeguards for if/when I get tired of AdBlock usage, I flip the switch and the test result graphs begin being served through Adobe Flash -- and for those without Flash -- through JavaScript and SVG... And being hosted off my primary ad providers network.

This one is so bad that I actually stopped visiting some sites because of it (pre adblock).
