What Is The Mystery Lizard?

1,009 799 November 25, 2017 at 04:46 PM in Computers (3)
sometimes I click a link on slickdeals, the page doesnt load properly and a picture of a lizard on a branch loads, there seems to be a play button as if its a video. I'm on an older PC with Vista and outdated chrome browser, but this is the only website it happens on.

Anybody else see this? I'm also using previous/original version of slickdeals

I am not sure if these things are related, but have you checked out this thread in site issues and suggestions? https://slickdeals.net/f/10831007-rogue-ad-taking-over-the-screen?v=1

If that isn't helpful, you may wish to start a thread there so that the Developers can have a look.

Judging by the replies in the thread I linked you too, it is a known error, and our devs are working on it.
