Default anyone else getting

random advertisement pop up? Like everytime I go into a different section now some ******* pop up comes up about a sale or show that has nothing car related.

I really really enjoyed this not being a problem on this site, but did the site pick this up for some reason. Cause it seriously sucks *****. I have always allowed pop-ups from this site so it's easier to look at some links or threads provided by other members. If this is a new site thing it just ruined that.

Hope the site isn't selling it's sole to the ****** advertisers. Stuff like this makes it annoying to browse the site freely. And I don't wanna turn off my pop-ups for this site for the reasons I listed in my original post.

If I wanted to see advertisements I'd look at the banners or watch TV.

This is exactly what I came in here to post. WTF is with that ****. Its awfully annoying having to close out that window before I can even do anything everytime I bring up a new page. That **** has to stop...thats the type of nonsense that will make people leave and never look back.

Either you guys have really small screens or you have ad ware. I have no problem viewing anything. No pop ups, nothing.

Yup, they're ******* unbearable. I really hope the powers that be realize how disruptive they are and put an end to them. Soon.

Well, I still haven't seen any. I don't have any anti virus BS. Just Firefox, and it hasn't blocked any pop ups or advertisements, all I see is the tiny ad below the LS1TECH banner.

Haha yeah it happens every time you move your mouse over the advertisement on the top of the screen whenever it is one of those certain ones. It has really been getting annoying in these last couple of minutes because I end up moving my mouse over it every time I am on a new page!!!
