Working on it :-/

If you could give us the URLs they're redirecting to, that would be helpful.  Thanks and sorry.

I sent some links to Windy, but it might have been on AIM.  If I can dig them out I'll pass them onto you.

That site loaded once.  When I clicked "skip this ad" it took me back to the previous page i was looking at, not NWR.

Strange, I don't see any takeover ads (then again I had to use a full popup block on NWR since you've got ads that circumvent the "only block unwanted" setting, I feel like I'm looking at a warez site here...).

Yeah, that has happened twice to me now.  At least the ads are set to only come up once per day.

Okay, I've been asked to collect screenshots rather than URLs.  It seems the URLs are temporarily generated and thus tell our ad provider nothing.  So, the next time you run into this, please take a screenshot and post it here.

Is this a programming issue on NWR's end or is it bad ad code?

Bad ad code.
