Hi guys, I have a weird issue on my index page...it seems like a pop up window sometimes tries to open but immediately disappears.  It only seems to do it when you navigate to the index page from somewhere else in the forum...refresh doesn't seem to trigger it.  I checked my files and template differences but I can't find anything causing it.  I am hoping that it isn't a data miner code or some other malicious crap injected in to my forum??  Can anyone help me see what is going on here?

V. 1.8.19
www.7173mustangs.com

After 900 tries, I was able to capture it with a screen grab!  See image below:

I haven't tried chrome...I use Firefox mainly.

Further inspection upon visiting the working link. Can confirm the pop up is there.

Good!  I knew I wasn't completely crazy!  Now how do I remove the script...I checked my Footer templates and it is not there.  Is this an attack of some kind?

I'm pretty sure it's the google ad you are running within the footer.

I am still having this issue...I have removed all Google ads and tested but the ghost popup still shows!  I also detect a white flash between page loads on IE and Chrome?   I can't figure it out!

Okay, now this is confounding. I'm gonna head over to your site right now, just to give it a gander.

Okay, there is a google ad that is lodged underneath the footer of your website, check out the pic attached.

It is a script, did you see this?

Yes, the Google ads are currently in position...I had previously removed all of them for testing.  After I saw that the ghost popup was still there, I added the ads back in.
