      Yeah I did that when I first couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t allow me to click on any menus. I still find it aggravating though.

      There needs to be some level of hell reserved for whoever created drop-down ads.
      IMO always implied.

          This is not about the drop down ads that mess up forum.

          But is anyone else having the same ad over and over?


          EDIT: It stop playing the same thing about CST (US).

            It's odd because that same poltergeist ad on the main gateworld forum has no problem at all. It displays perfectly and doesn't interfere with the nav area. Only on the forums

                  Jeez, this ad for V is for Vendetta used to pop up only occasionally and kill all the url tags but now it's popping up almost EVERY TIME I move around the forum. *grumble*

                  Do you guys get more revenue from the popdown ads instead of the regular, nonanimated ones?

                        ToasterOnFire, if you're using Firefox, just filter out the V for Vendetta advert using Adblock. All the other adverts will still load.

                            I've never seen that ad either. Although, I do have *doubleclick* as a wildcard in the filter list.

                              I know I've mentioned this on another topic about forum posting troubles...

                              Sometimes, in my situation- depending on the volume of people viewing the entire forums (visitors and registered members), sometimes depends on the ads freezing up the screen - thus preventing logging in or moving about to view another topic. That's usually where my frustration comes from.

                              I've learned a way around it: which means find a forum or topic that you can log into and start from there (and I usually browse via Firefox). Sometimes that required opening up a new window and closing the former. From that point forward, once I found a topic or forum index page that didn't have the ads that freeze up everything else, it seemed to be okay.

                              Maybe someone out there is just trying to find ways to stop us from yacking and reading too much, unless it's their favorite item (conspiracy theory!).

                              I did like the guest Log-in whenever it was there in recent weeks. It sort of stopped this freezing to log-in problem for a while... (*sigh*)

                                I'm new to Firefox. Where can I find this and use Adblock?
