What's up with this pop-up survey asking me about candy bars every time I log-in? I've filled it out 3 times and it still pops up. Anyone else getting this?

Could you send me a screenshot? We can have ads removed, and it sounds like perhaps some rogue ad is misbehaving. I've never seen that.

Here it is @iacas. Obviously if this is adding revenue to you guys then I can deal with it lol...just thought I'd see if anyone else was getting these.

I don't think it's coming from us. You're using IE? What version? Can you paste the URL for the "ad" in here?

I've filed a support ticket to have it removed if it is indeed coming from us.

You were right, it was a browser issue. I switched to G-Chrome at work, no pop-ups now. Thanks for your help. If you still want the URL I can send it tomorrow at work (I use Mac at home and don't have to worry about these silly PC issues ;-) ).

Interesting. My in laws went to Kenya and Nigeria last year but they never mentioned the unavailability of candy bars. Bummer for you! When are you getting back? Hopefully before the Masters! ;) P.S. Go MSU!!! ;)

You bastard. UDel might not make it back for years! Thanks to your post, I've just made the executive decision to take UD over Michigan State. Suck it, Spartans!

LOL ... and I was only giving you crap because of your facebook declaration!

BTW, I have the Izzo's going to the elite eight ... and then losing to eventual champion Iowa State.  (I don't know anything about basketball this year except that UCLA looked damn good in the Pac-12 tournament)

Yeah we've established that it's Internet Explorer. I think it has something to do with the ads for Milky Way at the top right.

If you do have an issue with recurring/suspicious ads, or "adware", you can always uninstall IE which will default you to the version that was packaged with your Operating System. Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > View Installed Updates. Right-click on IE and uninstall. The next time that you open IE, you should be prompted to update your version of IE or you can simply manually install the update by going to Microsoft's download center. Just an FYI. This is usually the easiest way to remove unwanted ads, addons, toolbars, etc. without downloading additional third-party anti-adware/malware software.

I use Google Chrome and get this too. I disabled my pop up blocker. Other than having to close it out, it really doesn't bother me.

    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
