It's getting to the point of disturbing me that I had to ask is there anyone else who is to the point of smashing their computer screen. If you are like me then you are probably listening to music simultaneously while browsing this site and this  *)(&%#^%$  advertisement keeps BLURTING IN!!!!!!!!!Please PA, stop the madness and end this infuriating ad!!!

While I'm like you (human being, computer owner), I don't know what are you talking about. Use Opera or Firefox.

I believe in free enterprise as much as anyone else, but anytime I look anything up on this site, this blurb protrudes to the point of making want to open a can of whoop-arse.

Must be you, then. I haven't seen anything such as the add dsecribed.

I was bothered by it, until I discovered how to block it. It can be done.

When I use Firefox, I just have to enable it to block popup windows. For Safari, I had to get a plug-in.

I just turn the speakers off when I'm in PA and don't go to PA when I listen to music.   The ad has been bothering me so much that I had to do the same thing,which sucks because I listen to music when I am on the puter.   It's one of the most intrusive,annoying ads I have ever encountered.It is one the top of 90-95% of the pages that I turn to here in the forum and in the archives.

They just updated it recently, maybe you should try it again.

Erm... it has the same features, and a lot more to discover as one reads the help and tutorial files. Now, Opera is a cool browser that can certainly make things difficult. Both browsers are really worthy it (opera has a zoom magnifier, a voice module, gestures that recognizes movement from mouse and trigger certain actions, a POP web mail administrator, Torrent client). Anyway, I'm sure I'm the only person on earth that reads tutorials.

HATE THIS AD :S
