Is anyone else having pop-up ads appear when they access the discussion board, blocking their view of the topic titles?

Tickle, I could tolerate ads if they didn't block the text as I scroll thereby obscuring the lively repartee.

I get a box o 10 different words presumably associated with ads in the botton left hand corner

Personalised ads are a load of shite IMO.

I'd suggest AdFender instead. It's not browser-specific and a single installation protects all installed browsers.
I have a number installed for checking site design and Adfender blocks popups on them all.
I can't understand why our beloved board is the only site that appears to be infected with those damn Chtika ads.

Maybe we should move to Average Intelligence Machines instead?
