#4193 Advertising is redirecting to a whilte page

[Cory R. King]

Hi
I have no idea why this happens, but when I view a story on slashdot, sometimes the page will load to the bottom of the story and then redirect to a white page with nothing but square ad below each story on it. It only seems to do it with certain ads, never with your adsense ones.

This happens on two separate computers that are running the same version of firefox (though with a different set of addins). I haven't tested it on IE7.

Firebug doesn't throw any kind of warnings or errors about anything. When I view the source of the "white page" it looks suspiciously like what might be in an IFRAME these ads are probably sitting inside.

I dont see anybody else on slashdot mention this problem, and there doesn't seem to be any bugs filed on it. I am a subscriber, so I wonder if there is some combination of ad preferences I set that is causing this behavior?

I've attached a screenshot of what happens when I visit the front page. It will load the page fine for a second, then redirect exactly as shown in the screenshot.

While the page never stops loading, I've attached what little HTML source manages to load
