Just now when I logged in, I got a green and white banner about accessing my pc from anywhere, with several buttons on it, but not the actual forum, just the top bit with FAQ, messages, View Posts since last visit.    

I clicked on posts since last visit and got rid of it, and into the forum itself, that way.  Anyone else had this today?   Confused  Anything to worry about?

No pop-ups here, but then i have them banned... didn't see a notification either though Confused

Was it an actual pop-up or just an ad at the top of the forum?

If it's the same as I have had, It's an ad for GotomyPC (I recognise is cos I use it to work from home on a PC in the office Cool - but for some reason it seems to sometimes stop the forum loading properly.

I've had that a couple of times but it looked to me like a page rather than a pop-up  Confused It was when I clicked on New Posts and I think it was an ad and the page hadn't loaded properly because of it. DH didnt think it was anything to worry about.

ah yes, sorry, numpty - it was a banner not a pop-up.  Didn't get it this time though.  Thanks everyone, good to know it's not just me that has been seeing it  Very Happy
