Ads jumping you to the bottom of the page? PLEASE tell me the web address that the ad links to.
I've now seen multiple threads complaining about a cafepress advertisement that forces your browser to jump to the location of the ad. I have asked repeatedly for someone to please provide me with the web address of the ad, but so far nobody has done so.

I cannot block the ad unless I know the web address (URL) that the ads links to.

I'm looking for something longer than just "cafepress.com". I need the entire URL.

Thank you for your help.

(And in the future, instead of just complaining about bad advertisements and then doing nothing -- SEND ME AN EMAIL)

2. That's not the link I'm looking for.

I need the cafe press link where you end up. Not the Google link.

3. OK. Here's one of the ads that my browser jumped to.

Doesn't always jump to the middle of the page. Seems to depend on what ads are there at the time of the page load.

4. I thought this was happening on a cafe press ad.
It's happening on other ads, too?

5. For my browser. it seems to vary w/the ad.
The link in post #3 was the ad my browser jumped to at that time (so I clicked on it and copied the link I posted).

8. Hmm. So it's a bunch of different ads?
This is a problem. I'll need as much information as possible in order to hopefully get Google to fix the problem.

What Web browser (including version number) do you use?

I saw several complaints about about Safari on Mac 10.4.xx earlier.

7. I just got it on this thread
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7599762

The advert doesn't show up for me though. Just has a blue x on the top left corner.

11. I'm getting different ads, depending on when I click on the thread link.
Some ads cause the jump, others don't.

13. illegal codenop();
The ad is missing, but it still pulled me to the bottom of the page. That's the code I got when I copied the link.

15. OK, that's not what the code said . . .
. . . It changed it. I'll put spaces between so that you can read it.

java script : nop ( ) ;

14. Skinner, this is the one that does it for me.
This is the url from properties
http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/imgad?id=CMjr9smmjMXCcBCWARiWATIIAzldRWfSNxo

This is the url when I click on the ad:

http://t-shirts.cafepress.com/item/obama-this-time-i-want-a-smart-president-white-t/108589269


Where ever that ad appears, bottom, middle or top right, my browser bounces right to that ad.

I'm using Vista, IE 7.0.6001.18000
