Thanks, I'll watch for the next week or two and report if it is still happening.

I suspect others have/will catch on to the same prank, though...

Thanks indeed, although I noticed an Expedia ad at the bottom of a classified page this morning as I was skimming them and it didn't ask if I wanted to leave, only seems to occur in the forums.

Another unrelated site (about typefaces) just gave me this message, and wouldn't you know it, there was a sidebar ad for Expedia!

I did some google searching and I see a couple other people complaining about Expedia too.

Also ads from Expedia.de (Germany)
I will go block that too.

This thread comes up on Google too. Smile

Now Travelocity has joined the fray. Just got the message with their ad at the bottom

(Aren't Expedia and Travelocity related now?)

Expedia owns Travelocity.

I will do some checking

FYI, Travelocity is still doing this. Got the message just now, and guess whose ad was at the bottom?

It's Travelocity.ca for me, but I get alot of Canadian biased ads being in Canada and all, it's like Big Brother is watching and knows where I live Shocked .

Haven't encountered it here in the last while but I did get the same "do you want to leave" message on Bring a trailer a couple days ago, sure enough after scrolling down there was a Travelocity ad buried in there.
