| | Must we have that land ad?
It wouldnt be so bad if it didnt pop up constantly. I know it probably helps pay for the site, but couldnt you choose a different ad that doesnt pop up? It's really distracting.

| | Don't you have pop-up protection on your security software? I haven't seen a pop-up in a couple of years. Thank goodness!! | | |

Hello Amber, Drama Queen is right about blocking pop-ups. I have two browsers on my Mac, Safari and Firefox. In both of them there's an option to block pop-ups in the preferences section. Not sure where you'd find this option in Internet Explorer but it's bound to be there somewhere.

Yea I have a pop up blocker. I guess it's not actually a pop up ad. I wouldnt mind it if it were static, but this ad plays continually on the main page, not the portal page.

oh - you mean the black & white ad with the cowboy looking guy? Yep, he's here too. (he's not a pop up). Move your main page over to the left and you'll never see him again. lol (that's what I've done when he bugs me too)

| | Ahhhh now I see him. Not really a pop-up so I guess I never really paid much attention to it til now. I just block it out of my vision. He's not too bad looking.  | | |

I have to scroll down about 16" to get to the Threads. My finger is getting calloused already and this is only my 2nd day here.  | | |

Since I use Firefox as my web browser I do not see any of the things you guys are talking about. I highly highly highly recommend trying Firefox if you have not already. I have not seen a popup or an Ad on any site since I switched pretty much.
