'Statistics' pop up. I cannot remove.

Hi there,


I went onto my profile this morning and went to my 'Statistics' to locate a previous thread.


The Statistics section is highlighted in blue now and goes instantly into an insurance add/website. I have not seen this here before, I did not put it there.


Has anyone else had this problem?
Any suggestions on how to remove it?


Thanks


John.

John,
Install Adblock Plus. It's a free download and gets rid of those nasty pop ups. There's one for Mac and regular PC. I've used it now for 4 years and it seems to also speed up my operating system when surfing through some of these sites.

I use Google Chrome for my browser. Here's a link (you can google and choose the one you want) https://adblockplus.org/en/chrome . Here's one for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir.../adblock-plus/

I have exactly the same issue.
Installed Adblock Plus, seems to have done the trick.

This seems like a mishap on our part.

I'll check in with our ad operations team and sort this out. Navigation links should not be getting served ads.
