    When I go to this post, I get the following pop up box:

    You have chosen to open
    bbs-rect.html
    which is a Firefox Document
    from: http://www.infinisource.com

    I am asked what to open it with. Naturally, I chose FF and this is what I get:

    Not Found
    /adserver3/www/delivery/afr.php was not found on this server.

    This only happens with this post, no other. I have checked several other posts and no pop up box. I have tested this on FF 2.0.0.20 and 3.0.5 with the same results. Where the ad should be on the first post, it is blank. With IE7, the ad on the first post is bad also. It comes up not found where the ad should be. Any one else having this problem? Right now, it's more of a nuisance then anything.

    John, Pete... You don't see any advertising, so you wouldn't run into it.

    For the others, I fixed the re-direct. I changed our Ad server long time ago, it is just that Google always has an ad to show *except* for that specific post it seems :eek:

    Also seems FF doesn't know what to do with the IFRAME... it is still asking to Open the html... weird.

    goddez1,

    It's nice to know that I'm not alone out here! ;)

    Arie,

    Thanks for the fix. Everything is working fine now. No more pop ups.

    I had a feeling that being a contributing member had something to do with not seeing the pop-up.:)

    Yea, although it wasn't a pop-up (advert), but rather Firefox doesn't seem to know how to handle an html file called from an IFRAME. Instead of displaying it inline, it pops up a dialog asking you what to do with it :(
