I have started getting pop up ads on the bottom of the threads after I open them. I have my blocker on and they still appear. Anyone else have this problem and is there a way to get rid of them?

How the hell do you kill the ads at the bottom of the page that automatically play? Right clicking doesn't show me anything that will help. I'd hate to have to get an app to kill all your ads since I'd like to give you impressions but that auto playing noise is unforgivable.

They've been slowly creeping up for a couple months now at least. It appears that the google ads are cycling in videos with audio in them. And lately there's been more of them than before. You can mute it on the add, but you have to go down to it and it doesn't stay muted.

My kids tell me that they hear them come on at random in here when the computer is on and nobody is even here so it's not just when you hit a new page and get a new ad.

Also, they are not popups. It's that bottom right corner google ad.

Well after looking at them on a page other than the Outdoor Board, I see they also may be Bizo ads. And those give you a way to opt out.

I am not getting pop up ads, but the talking ads are surely pissing me off....

they always come on in the "viewster" box at the bottom of the page....lysol ad just started playing while I am typing this...

ETA: I don't have a screenshot, but they come on in a similarly-sized box just above the bridge house ad....

Fifth or sixth or whatever number I am to say the sound ads are awful. I pause them or something, but as soon as it runs its 30 seconds or whatever it starts over. And/or a new one comes up when I go to the next page in a thread.

I had to just mute my computer altogether the other day.

I got my first annoying ad ever just a second ago. Popped up and took over the screen, which I've never seen till just that moment. Not sure what you call that type of ad as it isn't technically a pop-up, but works in the same manner.

Here's to hoping this doesn't become the norm. I don't want to have to find a new message board.

have to add some intrigue.


And, I didn't think to do so last time, if it happens again I will. Seemed like a target ad or something(little Christmas ornaments were dropping down, but I closed it with tQuickness)
