Yes actually, every single page that loads I get asked if I have foxtel and have to watch the ad at the side. I think it's broken.

use chrome I've not received this ad once.

I have no adblocking installed, just a vanilla install of chrome

Annoying ads that still hang about moving on the side even after you closed them are annoying.

Sorry trog, I get pissed when people don't provide enough information when raising a problem but evidently don't think twice about doing it myself!@

I was using QGL UI (non staging) and Safari 4 on the OS-Awesome. Using Win7 and IE8 now and it's stopped popping up on every thread load. Once it becomes a reasonable hour on a Saturday morning as I was forced out of my luxurious half drunken slumber by the dogs I will go check Safari.

(I lie, I just have to go do twosies and read the paper)

:(

It's not doing it in Chrome (still does it in Safari) but silly Chrome doesn't support Xmarks yet or vice versa, probably vice versa but I'm going to blame Google straight up.

is it still doing this now dude? I can't reproduce on Win Safari so it must be a Mac specific thing.

Something else you can try: go to http://qgl.ausforums.com/cookies/ . Hit refresh a bunch of times, then try again.

It does, but you need to be using the dev channel release of chrome though. Also it doesn't do password syncing.

http://beta.xmarks.com

Xmarks for Chrome Alpha

We're excited to invite you to test Xmarks for our latest supported browser: Google Chrome. The extension system for Chrome is still under heavy development so you'll need to be running Chrome's development channel for Windows.
