I am suddenly getting a strange pop-up every time that I log on to thePlenty. Anyone else seeing it? Will come back in a sec with details (because I've forgotten already! )

You mean the popup for sitemeter?

That's the one, thanks joost. I've never seen it anywhere before, though now it's decided to leave me alone...I think.

What is it for??

A tracking image for sitemeter.com gave an authentication popup. I never noticed it myself because sitemeter is blocked with AdBlockPlus, but I turned it off for this site, and lo, there it was.

same here. ads are indeed invisible, and ABP considers sitemeter to be such.

If any of you could take a screenshot (or maybe just copy word for word what it says) that would be appreciated - I see no such pop up and I'm really sorry that you do, must be annoying. If I can't fix it, I might just remove the thing altogether, it's sort of a relic from the old site that was hosted by someone else anyway (back when I couldn't access statistics in any other way).

Not sure about anyone else but it's gone for me now, thanks Mervi. It showed up for a day or so after my post about it but then stopped. I recall that you'd also popped in for a visit about the same time as it began so mainly wondered, at the time, if it may have been something you'd done. Will snap a screenshot should it happen ever again...unless someone else can still see it.

If these beings do happen to see it more than that one time, they will take a picture of it.

Makes me think it was a glitch in their code and they fixed it. Glad to hear it seems to be gone.
