Not only that - it also renders my ability to perform copy and paste ineffective from the point of the very first link. In the past we had adblock but no there is no option to shut it off. I am sure others feel the same way as I do. Thanks. i_XpUser

Are you referring to those annoying links that pop up when you hover over the link? Aren't those things annoying? I got so fed up with accidentally hovering over them that I left the forum for a week. I know... I can hear the laughter now... Just returned this morning and see things are the same, lol.. What timing to see your question, XpUser. I must be psychic or something! But I despise anything that gets "in your face" and forces itself onto you whether or not you wish to read it or not.. Enough is enough already. At least the other ad service gave an opportunity to click a link to disable them... this new one does not. It gets annoying to play 'dodge-em cars' and try not to accidentally hover over a link that will throw up info that you do not wish to read. You can bet your shirt that there are many folks that (will not..can not) verbally say anything about it for varoius reasons... I suspect I'll be told ... "If you can't stand the rockin', then jump ship". I can't swim though... Guess I'll go down with the ship!

Hi clammer - Yes it's those annoying links that pop up when you hover over the link! The former advertisers were pretty managable but this one is way too damn annoying. I haven't seen anything like this at other sites that I frequent. i_XpUser

BTW I understand that the ads is produced by ... CN partnership with Tribal Fusion ... and it helps recover the cost of running this site but it's so irritating when you have no option to turn it off. I am using IE7 and Firefox 2 - both have popup blockers enabled. Tribal Fusion managed somehow to evade the blockers. i_XpUser

Hey, That system is in beta. I will tell them about this problem, I guarantee they will fix it, assuming it didn't happen with other ones. Thanks, Justin

Thanks Justin - the copy & paste problem began today even though I knew for sometime that you are using the new & different advertiser. i_XpUser

This is quite amusing...usually I get those pesky pop-up adverts but somehow I've been blessed by not getting them with IE7? Just lucky I guess because those ads can be pretty annoying. Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks
