These ads that pop-up in the middle of the pages are ruining my enjoyment of this site.

This "credit check" pop up on the right side completely distorts my screen. It's bumped to almost 1/2 CL and 1/2 ad.

it's killing my computer for some reason. I tried using chrome and it freezes my browser and a "you want to kill this script?" chrome pop-up comes up.

I'm wondering if there's a fix around this?

Little Snitch for Mac. I haven't seen an ad in a year. I don't know what you use for a computer. If you decide to run a Mac in the future I am just suggesting it for those converting or that have a Mac.

This is what my screen looks like with Little Snitch. 3 pics .......top, middle, lower.

It's gotten better in the past 24 hours... I complained in another thread with screen shots.

Dave always helps inform IB that there are problems.

You guys that are complaining need to do a better job telling me specifically which ads are showing up as popups... we should have ZERO popups on our site and I'd like to know what you're seeing and how they show up as a popup.

There are two current advertisements that have errors that I've been trying to get turned off for more than a week and have been asking about daily.

1) The first is the yellow Equifax which is sized improperly (it looks like a top banner on the side). It goes away usually after showing up twice. Refresh your screen and move on from it.

2) The second is a flash error in one of the ads that is causing problems in all browsers. If anyone can tell me specifically what that ad is I can help direct IB in removing it, but until we do all I have is the screen shots from a couple of folks like Jimmy (thanks).

Some of the flash ads have rollovers that scroll out and if they're too sensitive I have complained and had them turned off at times.

If you really don't like it, install an ad blocker and disable all the ads that are bothering you. I know the IB team is working on both of the above items.

I checked and do have an update on my email to IB from earlier today on 1) the flash ad error and 2) the equifax ad

As soon as we're notified of a problem (or notice them ourselves) I put in a request to get it taken care of. As mentioned earlier, please be a little more descriptive and constructive in your reporting of an issue rather than generic complaining . Thank you

@lpher

To me it seems like some sidebanners/ads are missaligned...instead of left or right, they are dead center..ATOP of the posts im trying to read...quite annoying! So...not pop ups pr say...

EDIT: Turning on the pop up blocker did the trick for me

That is exactly the way it shows on screen for me. I have the pop-up blocker activated, but am still having the problem. I am glad the mods are aware of the situation.

I don't work for RIM. I just like the name.

Yeah, that's absolutely not normal - thanks for the screen shot - will pass it along as well.


If you see it again, please right click on the ad, capture and post the 'file properties' and 'copy shortcut'. Always helps to pass those along.
