I am getting hammered with pop up adds tonight on the forums and also getting messages on Chrome about blocking unsecure scripts the page is trying to run. Have the forums been invaded again?

I just worked a database sub.ission and had the script alert on the pop up window for the submission...maybe a bigger site problem? I've moved to my cellphone now and everything seems normal in the phone.

Just worked a submission myself and nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Might want to check your computer.

The little pop up ads say "ads by videogaminghub" at the bottom. Sometimes, a large pop under appears and Chrome disables the Flash trying to run in the pop under.

I am only encountering this on Radio Reference.

When the little popups occur, a warning about having blocked scripts shows up "This page is trying to load scripts from unauthenticated sources"

I ran an extra scan. before posting. Nothing out of the ordinary which is why I posted here. The issue seems intermittent.

Tracked it down to a rogue Chrome extension for videogaminghub.com. No idea where that came from...I'm not a gamer and I only visit the same few websites on this computer. Huh.
