I tried adbloackers but then for some odd reason it would not allow me to post here. Im getting ads now that take over the entire page and have to refresh often just to see the forums. Its getting very ridiculous

I concur. The first time I heard that damn mosquito, I thought there was something wrong with my work comp. Smiley: blush

/agree

The mosquito is the worst ad I have come across anywhere. One of these days I'm gonna write down the name of the company that uses that add and NEVR buy anything from them EVER!!!

The vertical ads are almost as annoying though... They suck up most of the page and make you scroll down to get to the real content...

Just a helpful tidbit of information for the mosquito add:

If you "zap" the bug, another add will pop-up. Close that add and the mosquito should not buzz again.

As for the vertical adds, I have no suggestions.

It looks like the vertical ads are supposed to go in the ad area below the menu. In fact right now I'm looking at a page with the same vertial ad on top and at the side. There has to be a way to filter them out of the top banner slot.

I turn off my sound at work to avoid embarassment or worse :P I hate loading a web page and having music or who knows what start blaring out of my speakers, because it's invariably too loud. Startles the heck out of me sometimes too.

YAY! I won a free* laptop.

(*see details)

To bad I can't read the flashing, moving claim code...

I use Norton Internet Security.

Pretty much blocks everything and if something does show, you can right-click and block the ad.

It's helpful, but for some reason it blocks the site banner at top I think...

If pay for a premium membership you won't have adds and pop-ups anymore.

I use Firefox 2.0 with Adblock and have none of those annoying ads.
