Just to note - I'm suddenly getting flashing ads which are screwing with my ability to type responses. Its like typing through mud.
I've never actually tried that, but if I was to type through mud, I'm sure that's what it'd be like.

^ I've been seeing a new pop-over ad on this site that's even worse. It's for some Verizon cell-phone.

Any pop-up window telling you who have won something like I care.

Marek sees all. Unfortunately, that means he may not see this particular thread. I'll bug him.

Now we have sound ones too?! "...just what I wanted for Christmas!" They're getting more and more intrusive! Do you get to preview the ads being placed before they are put on the site?

Lynsie, didn't you disable the Shockwave Flash Object add-on in IE?

I did, but that was a pain, since I play flash games daily, and I had to enable it again for them.

Now the commflash ads hide the site, forcing you to either put up with it or find the place to click on it to get rid of it. These keep getting worse. Banners are one thing, but when you have trouble finding the page, this is too much.

Wow. I just experienced an ad that consumed the whole screen and then said that the page was loading. You have to click the close this ad button to get past it. Has anyone else had this problem?

Just to note, now I'm getting ads freezing the page before I can reply and flashing ads that interrupt the browser text input.

Firefox + Adblock
Firefox + AdBlock must be extremely good at hiding ads because I have no idea what you are talking about. Is it really that bad?

Even though I disabled Shockwave Flash Object in my IE browser, there is still a lot of pause when the page loads, as if it's trying to load the ad and run on my screen first. Really annoying. I guess nothing can be done about this, huh?

Hey all - been away a bit. I've had a chance to look at the ads just now. A couple of them ain't pretty.
We don't get previews of new ads, I can only block them after they've been added to the ads pool. |
