In the past two days, in this site, I get a pop sponsored content box that is very annoying. It was never there before. There is a way to reduce it, but not make it go away or close completely. I deleted cookies, ran scans, but can't get rid of it. Is anyone else experiencing it?
Yeah, no. It's still there. Sponsored by this site or not, I'm not going to fight it to read the forums.
It wasn't there this morning for me, but it is now :(
I'm all for 'paying the bills,' but there are less obtrusive ways to go about that.
THANK YOU ! I thought it was me and I had adware embedded deep in my 'puter. Hate it, but if it keeps the site free, I will do my best to not be annoyed. Just knowing I am not the only one take some of the sting away. SOME.....some...
"internet barnacle" K8, that's one of the things I love 'bout cha

thank you, gscout73 :)
it's ba-ack -- but if i wait for it to fully load then click on the top right corner it reduces down in size so that i can read the forums, jgiff, if that's any consolation for you --
and while i have no clue as to where these barnacles come from i don't think jackie would purposefully add anything annoying on here --
I'm seeing them for the first time this morning and the site froze up for a bit as well.
Um, gals, It's not there. I mean, it really is not there in my corner, waiting to spring out at me if I try to go to my right scroll bar and touch it accidentally. Am I really free of it? Are we free??
I have been following this thread and simultaneously working to adjust that corner ad unit.
We are always experimenting with different advertising platforms, some work, some don't!
So all of your feedback is really appreciated!
Thank you, Jackie. when I would try to use the button in the right side of my window to scroll down or up, I would hit that dang thing and it was almost like playing whack-a-mole.
wow, jackie, you shut down this last spam attack muy pronto!
what i saw was that it blossomed to nearly two pages in nano seconds -- then it was gone -- poof
THANK YOU
We got lucky that I was on the site right when it came in.
I have a feeling they might try to hit it hard this weekend. They tend to look for timing around when we might be likely to not pay attention, like Superbowl Weekend. This seems to be the type of opportunity they look for to make their comebacks.
I guess we will see..
Ok, you got me, Heath.
I saw it, logged in to tell you I saw it, left and came back. It was juuuust there, b4 logging in to make this reply, and now see that it is not there. Whew. I'll log in right away from now on, before I lurk.
Ok great, just wanted to make sure it was working. This way the regular users don't have to be annoyed by it and the drive-by looky-loos can help keep the lights on
