| I don't get the ad, but from what I've heard it has been coming up on the screen and blocking off what people are trying to read. |

It's back. 
And mailto:M@X - M@X , it's not a standard popup. It's a banner that expands itself and gets in the way of a large portion of the screen.
I suppose that makes it just like Kiss, an unwanted entity that forces itself into your field of vision, thinking it is endearing itself, but in reality, just makes us hate them even more. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

^ Sorry Evolver, I never said it was gone, I have made it not showing in the forum. Are you seeing it in the forum ? ... and if possible send a screenshot to [email protected] so I can better understand . I suspect also some browser issues , some may react less kind ?! ------------- Prog On ! |

You are correct. It does appear now only on the main pages. But It's still annoying. It starts at a regular banner, and then expands to what you see above. You have to click to close it. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

Kiss my pop-ups.  That emoticon needs a longer tongue I think.  The Ozzy ads are the one's annoying me. Primarily because they don't curse and speak unintelligibly. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Kiss the Kiss Pop-up Ads goodbye, I hope. You have to wait till they expand, then close it. I don't like that, but with any ad, who does..................... ------------- assume the power 1586/14.3 |

It automatically expands. You have to wait for it to expand before you can close it.
Can we just go beat up Gene Simmons? Pull his tongue really hard? Spray Dr. Pepper in his eyes?  ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

Thanks, mailto:M@X - M@X , the ads are much less intrusive now.
Another request, can you get them to add another button? There is ine that says "like", can you have them add one that says "hate their guts"? ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

Yeah I can't even believe this ad is still here. It's definitely made me subconsciously avoid progarchives as of late. ------------- Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell? I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance. |

I'm guessing it's only doing it in US again, because I still haven't gotten it. |

I saw the ad on my computer for the first time today but it didn't expand, it just remained still. I'm not sure how it works.
