Would you like to help or just interested in venting? Are you logged in when you see the ads? What browser are you using? What is the click through URL?

A big thank you to the mods for helping with this.

I am curious if the ones in the middle are a placement mistake. They always seem to match the ad at the right hand side of the screen which is out of the way and normal.

Yes, I believe the ones in the middle are a placement error. I also understand that we should not be seeing adds that pop up in the middle of the page that were not triggered by a 'mouse over action'. We have asked the ad group for help. Thanks.

Yes I'm logged in. Using google chrome.

Don't have URL but its always the khols one, and it just pops up as soon as I open a thread or browsing the forum. I don't even have to scroll over it.

To get the URL simply click on the add and copy/paste the web adress (url) ,from your top tool bar, here. I have not had any pop up recently. It has been very nice.

Agreed, I installed FlashBlock into chrome just to stop the damned Ford ads from poping on top of everything, but I'm noticing that the placeholder is no longer showing up.

First site has been slow, NOW POP-UP ADS?

I have noticed that this site has been running much slower lately.
I get lag anytime I try to click on anything or even just scroll up or down.
I have broadband on a very fast quad core, my computer is not the issue.
Also this does not happen on any other site I visit.

Now today for the first time I notice a damn pop-up ad when I open my first forum!
What the heck guys?

I can understand wanting to cut costs and all but I really think your just gonna make this site less visited.
