Not sure if this is on LS1Tech's end but we'll look into it. You appear to be the only one reporting those pop-up ads while others reported another type that is known to be 3rd party (not from LS1Tech).

Since you're using the full version, everyone using the full version should also be seeing those pop-ups. That doesn't appear to be the case.

I just got hit with a pop up from Ashley Furniture. Not only did it pop up, but it starting playing a commercial with audio. I would definitely place that in the NOT cool category.

Im getting them bad! Everytime I go to a new page on the site it pops up a toyota scion ad that takes up my entire mobile browser! I can't do anything until I click a tiny "x" about the size of a pencil lead!! This is a pop up video with audio! Then after I X-out that ad this small at&t banner ad come up that I have to X-out! This is so annoying it has to stop! I can't even enjoy tech now because of these dang ads!!

In order to assist, we need to see a click-through link in order to locate and remove the ad if necessary. Additionally, a screen capture of the pop-up ad would also help.

Pop-up ads are generally not allowed in the network. Some pop-up ads get into the network and we can have them removed. Some may be a browser infection. Mouse-over ads, which expand when you mouse-over the ad, are a different story.

I have been getting a few here and there, so I was reading this thread to see if there was a resolution. As I was reading the poll shown below slid onto the screen from the left and stopped in the center. I did not mouse over anything or move the mouse at all before the stupid thing popped up. I tried to right click to get page info but all I get is a setting window for Adobe Flash.

I've been getting this popup on my iPhone every 2-3 pages I scroll through. Sometimes it hides under the current page and can be seen under the bottom right corner of the page.

Is there any way to get the ads off the page? The one at the top, then the side bar, then all the pics in picture battle. It takes forever for pages to load, this site only.
