Take a look at the following screenshot.
Not only is it a flat-out lie (I have been the 1,000,000th visitor three times already today  ), but there is no way to close it (short of hitting refresh).
Please get rid of it.

I have lately been getting annoying ads seemingly along these lines, but ....
- they are moderately large opaque ads blocking most of whatever is underneath them;
- they do not have an X (close) clickpoint on the upper right (or anywhere else); instead, they have a white band across the top of the ad containing only the word 'false' on the left;
- they cannot be moved, minimized, etc.;
- they do not go away by themselves, although they do not necessarily reappear on a refresh or a return after going to another page.
These things tend to appear early in my Poly sessions, quite often blocking the newest topics on a forum thread-list. Perhaps they are supposed to have a normal title bar, but are defective or otherwise unprepared for something in my setup (which on this computer however, is not atm the newest, but is nevertheless quite plain vanilla Win2K IE5.0). Fortunately they do not recur frequently after that, or else I would soon become a very infrequent visitor.
-------
On a slightly related subject (related mostly because it happened when following Ming's link to this thread from the now closed related thread) I have been experiencing the following defective behavior for some months now:
--When following a link from an email (subscription message) and/or a link to another thread which opens a new window, Poly seems to forget that I am logged in and does not seem to properly check for the appropriate cookie(s) -which btw I am not blocking- having the effect that it loses track of my identity, profile, etc. and I am seemingly viewed as a guest instead of a member, unable to post or do other stuff in that window. Since most of these screens seem to not be equipped with the provision for logging in, I have to close the new window and navigate to the relevant page on my own so that my credentials will be picked up.
What gives with this?

The ad they're referring to has nothing to click...it appears in the middle of the browser window

), intended to give me a close button (which it is not always particularly advisable to use in ads anyway), but if so, their code was less than perfect (possibly the 'false' indicates that I don't have some enabling adware installed).
Good to see you registered here at last.
