It is this annoying floating triangle, semi-transparent that floats across screen - has a tiny "x" in corner to get rid of it.
Currently, this is the only pop-up type thing that gets thru my installed blocker - so they just got smarter than my pop-up blocker.

i have ad aware pop up blocker and spy sweeper on my pc and rarely see anything like that. but i have seen what lincasnova is talking about. it tends to go away after a minute, but still it is annoying.

I don't have any spyware - and I don't have any floating triangle.
Does it float across the actual screen or just in the banner ads at the top?
That would really annoy me too -- IF I could see it.

Nothing, If this actually is intended by fodors. I once posted an easy solution to get rid of all the ads on Fodors, based on the fact that they all are on the same ad-server, but the post has been deleted after a few minutes and I do understand why. There's nothing you can (should) do about it.

I got it today, only yesterday it was triangular survey, today it was a blue "curtain" with a tiny skier on it.
I just went to another forum, and by the time I came back that bluish nighmare was gone.
Tomorrow is another day

I just got it for the first time. I couldn't even see what the ad was for I was looking so hard for the X. LOL I finally found it, just as the ad was disappearing...it's a very very light gray x in the upper right hand corner, just above the ad. It was the weirdest ad. I had the impression it was a ski slope or something, but I'm clueless as to what they were advertising.
I got rid of all Fodors ads when I installed Norton Internet Security (not just the anti virus program) last month. Two days later my computer crashed and I've yet to put the program back on. I don't mind the sidebars so much, but this is annoying enough to make me get out my Norton disk and reinstall it.
