    I'm using Firefox, and I turn off pop-ups (first check box under Options/Content). I don't have the problem you're referring to even when I tried temporarily re-enabling pop-ups, but then I also have other safeguards like Adblock Plus.

    ImageBam and other hosts lose files over time. If you notice missing images in any of my posts, please send me a PM.

    Imagebam needs to get their crap together. They've said they knew about this and fixed it, I believe they did. But they need to make sure it doesn't keep coming back again.

    It hasn't happened to me anymore but I'm seeing on a bunch of people on other sites saying that it is happening to them. It sometimes makes it's way through popup blockers and AdBlock Plus so that's not 100% going to keep you safe. It seems to be more of a page redirection than a popup but both do happen.

    They need to be more selective on the ads they accept and start vetting them. If their users stop using imagebam because of it, they will cease to exist.
