TNSI -Kim what is this

[Robin]

Every time I visit now and several more times during a visit something takes over and clatters away whilst preventing any page to load until it's done. Then TNSI Market Research or similar shows on the bottom but when clicked on finally disappears. This only seems to happen on the YBW site (using Explorer 5.00.2....)

Any ideas what/why and how to stop it, other than no visiting YBW???

PS it just happened again whilst trying to preview this post!

It's a pop-up associated with the Zurich banner ad. It shouldn't actually be appearing in the forum section any longer and we're finding out why it still is. Bear with us, it should be gone soon.

Saved me asking the same question...

Copied this line from the browser after it rattled into action for the 5th time this browsing session!

It would suggest looking at the URL that we are being surveyed yet again...and I rather hope Kim, that you will be able to assure everyone that the information will NOT be used to bombard us all with masses of junk e-mail!

Noooooo! I can again assure everyone that this is not penetrating the darker corners of their PCs. It is a pop up that you can fill in voluntarily, or click out of. There' is nothing going on here that is not covered in our Ts and Cs.

It's unusual we allow pop-ups at all on the forums, but we have to do so for limited periods to pay the bills. I'm sorry they are not the most popular things around but, as promised, this one will expire shortly.

The pop-up comes from Taylor Nelson Sofres. They are a large market research company. The surveys will be confidential and covered under the Data Protection Act.

In case you were asking - no I dont work for TNS. I was simply saying that you will not get junk e-mail from them as a result of the geniune survey - if you do you can have them charged under privacy laws. Since they are a plc, I think they might care a bit about that!
