Wal*Mart ad

[granolagirl]

Grrr, the Wal*Mart ad at the top of the page is driving me NUTS! And the fact that a floating ad drops down a little farther is really irking me.

You know, I never see these ads.
You need a popup/ad blocker.
My new Firefox browser is really good at blocking those things out....

It's REALLY irritating me, too!!! I have a pop-up blocker that usually keeps me sane, but this one isn't stopped by it (I guess because it's not a true pop-up).

ARGGGHHH!!!

These are activated differently by a touch of your cursor. They're not really popups, they're a new wrinkle. The Internet Messenger did this last week too and it drove me nuts then!!

I had some strange ad appear today too. I never see these ads. I wondered if I had my mouse sitting at the wrong place as the page loaded. I'll definitely see if I can figure out what caused it so I don't have to see these things. These things are worse than telemarketers! :rolleyes:

I also use FireFox, and I don't have any popup issues anymore. So far, not even with the newfangled pop-ups. The WalMart banner is up there, but it is completely still! I even refreshed and left my cursor sitting right over it, and I get nothing.

Death to pop-ups! :D

ARgh! Get rid of this thing! Awful.

I can't believe they think that sort of ad will encourage anything but frustration.

I didn't like firefox when I tried it in the spring... it was so slow. Have they upgraded it?

I don't really care about the bar at the top of the screen, but I'm getting really annoyed by the pop-up box. There's no "x" to close it, and it interferes with my entering my message onto the bulletin board. Grrrrr

It is still a little slow, but not too much more than IE can be. And the plus side is no more adds, no more pop-ups. I am a recent convert and am really liking it...

For those of you with pop-up blockers, have you checked your settings to make sure ad manager is enabled as well?

I've always thought that if I'm going to be there, I'm going to be armed, d**m it! No flag bearer or drummer -- if someone's coming at me with a gun, a bow, or a sword, I'm sure as he** going to have one of my own!

Me too. Stop it.

Hmmm.... maybe they read this thread.

Another Firefox fan here. No more pop ups or spyware!

Hahaha! As an avid, longtime Mac user I have to laugh whenever PeeCee users complain about pop-ups and viruses. I've been using Safari, Apple's proprietary free Internet browser since they released the Beta version about 3 years ago. You push "open apple-K" on the keyboard if you want to block pop-ups and push it again if you don't. I have never seen a pop-up since I started using it. :D
