Well click it and paste where you land...

Thats what I meant with "no more infos", when I click on it it only pauses the video or starts another related video. Right click on it to view Url doesnt work either. :/

Hm... what's the video about, there must be something it's trying to sell/promote or a website it talks about? I need concrete keywords to search for. "Market news" yields nothing.


It was about tips on selling/buying stocks, ofcourse now that I want to take another screenshot, it doesnt appear anymore. :roll: And yeah, it's the same one DwarvenFood had, although I don't use a Mac (Win 7 here)

I need the company behind the ad, it should be mentioned at some point in the video, at the end of the ad if not elsewhere. I've wasted an hour looking for it manually now but came up blank.

I've one of those. It's extremely annoying, and it seems to fire up out of nowhere; I'm watching a movie or listening to music and suddenly this stupid flash video ad, with sound, starts playing in the background. Looks like some kind of news thing.

Here's the holy trinity of valid reports about problematic ads:

1. Take a screenshot of it.

2. See where the ad points to (target url), and copy the url. If you can't get the target url by right-clicking on the ad and Copying Link Location, click on the ad and copy the url that you land on.

3. Describe what the ad is doing that is problematic.

Pops are cookied to only show every so many hours, so if you're getting them constantly make sure that you have cookies enabled for the Codex.

They only show with some of the ad campaigns and they've been there for the last 5+ years, so you're early to the party.
