Google pop-up ads on CVP site[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

@ Fergus:

I sent you an email 'Kevin Pacey's screenshot' at 4:30pm today, at your email address XXXXXXX at yahoo dot com. I can forward it again to you if you cannot find it - unless my laptop has been unusually hacked, somehow.

After I wrote that I thought it was on second thought a footer ad, I searched for that term on Google and found on an early search result that apparently there is such a thing as a 'slider footer' - though I'm not sure that's what I am seeing on CVP site, especially on my own Game logs page (maybe such ads choose their 'victim' based on page(s) he visits a lot?!).

[edit: it just happened again, and I did not touch the sidebar to scroll, at all]

edit2: From a Google blurb (maybe there's other newish types of ads out there now?):

Slider ads (also called floating ads or catfish ads) are banner ads that slide in or fade in at the bottom of a page. The slider ad moves along with the page as the user scrolls up or down and stays visible unless the user closes it through the closing button.Oct 6, 2015
