Yeah exactly, I mean holy crap people it's not that hard to get an Ad Block. Download an Ad Block for your browser, (I use Mozilla) and then disable the Ad's for this specific website. Ad's = gone forever. and ever.

As much as I agree, you could be a bit nicer about it.

I'll believe you.

But either way, it's irrelevant to the topic, and it's probably best to drop it.

Please, do drop it.

Also, ad removed.
Tsunami Bomb - The Simple Truth
We could run away
Leave behind anything paper
Not knowing where we're going to stay
When there's no Mondays

You're part of me, it's so easy to see the simple truth
When I'm in your arms, I feel safe from harm and sorrow too
You're part of me, it's so easy to see the simple truth
But most of all, nothing couldn't be solved when I'm with you

Perhaps you should keep a list of which browsers were used when people got these particularly annoying ads, Dazz.
I use Opera and I've never gotten pop-ups or ads that stretch the screen to kingdom come.

That wouldn't be as helpful as some information regarding the person's origin, since the ads are region specific we need to know where the person's browsing from to help our ad partner weed out bad ads. Our partners have a process for checking ads but with a company as large as they are a few are bound to slip by the net and it's not fair of us to ask someone to change their browser based on an oversight.

Well I use Opera, and I've had no problems with ads until now.

An Out of the Blue ad keeps appearing even when I block it. And It's on literally every page.

I'm in ABQ, NM if that's any help.

You need to take screenshots of the ads or otherwise, Dazz can't do anything.

Yeah, it and a similar vein of ads which I assume are related are unblockable.

They're not really bothersome ads like the Halo Legends one, however.

They aren't bothersome, but I was just confused when it wouldn't block.
