Annoyance on Betanews.com

[DaComboMan]

There's a popup on BetaNews.com that i can't close, the only way i discovered was to close the tab and re-open.

(also, i have to login everytime i visit the forum but that's another issue).

Can you tell me the detailed steps to make the pop-up page show?
I clicked some links in this website, but didn't see any pop-up page.

[DaComboMan]

Detailed steps you ask?
Not complicated. Just typed in www.betanews.com

Just now i tried and it didn't show up. Would they have removed it?
I've noticed it a few times before and it wasn't until recently that i discovered that by simply closing the tab and starting over did the trick.

Really not a big drama here. But if it doesn't happen to you, then I'm short for words.

Doesn't the pop up page have a close button? You can make a screenshot if you encounter it next time.

[DaComboMan]

Pop-up had no buttons.

Shall take snapshot for sure!

Here's one.

There's no "x" to close the ad (you notice the webpage is in the shadow)

Was not intentional but the special is pretty good!

I encountered this problem before, it would disappear automatically after a few seconds

I can see the button both in ie/firefox rendering mode. avant browser 2012 beta 128.
What version do you use?

[DaComboMan]

Using Ultimate 2012 128.

Perhaps like Nikata said, it goes off after a few seconds (or a while?).

The ad doesn't show up when clicking into the same page again.
Anyway, it's only Betanews.
