Lately I've been getting a lot of pop-ups for surveys while surfing this site, and I'm using a Mac.  This seems to be something new because I don't remember noticing them when the new site first went live.
 
I feel this is something worth mentioning, as I'm not sure if it's intentionally part of the Huddler platform or not.

What kind of surveys?  I'm also on a Mac (most of the time), and I've seen no such ads (nor would I support their implementation here).
 
Can you screenshot it next time?  (On your Mac, that's CMD+SHIFT+3 for whole screen, CMD+SHIFT+4 to capture a specific part of the screen.)

Actually, those commands won't work because I've reassigned them.  Sure, I will take a screenshot next time it pops up.  Some days it doesn't happen at all, and some days it happens often.

I'm on a mac and have never seen a pop-up.

What browser are you using?  I use Firefox 3.6.3 on OS 10.6.3.

Can't you just go and block pop-ups in the Firefox settings?
 
btw I use Windoze Vista and the same version of Firefox as you and I have never seen a pop-up (on any site) ever.

I didn't have my pop-up blocker enabled.  Now that I realize that, I will enable it but only after I see another pop-up so I can take a screen shot and post it.

As promised, I said I would post it when the next survey popped up.  It's been awhile but here it is.
Head-Fi was the only browser window I had open.

Block the address in the browser privacy settings.

I just got the same pop-up.  Firefox on Windows Vista (yes my computer is clean).  Adblock Plus was off which may be why I saw the pop-up.  I don't normally do much ad blocking.
 
Graphic was the explanation point that IPodPJ posted.

I got this popup again.  It happened when I clicked on the "forums" link at the top of the page.  Somehow the ad either layered itself over that area of the page to intercept the click or has a script running with some sort of onclick or onexit.


 


Since it happens when you leave a page I can't go back and see what triggered it since going back reloads a new version of the page.

I got the popup again.  This time when I closed a tab that was displaying a forum thread.  I didn't click on anything in the page.  The popup is somehow activated when you leave the page.  Maybe some sort of onexit type of trigger.
