Not so bad with Safari, but when I found the option to make them go away, I was much relieved 😉

Same here on Chrome. Not ever time, but occasionally enough to be annoying.

Also,

It's Flash-powered I believe. Worth making sure your plug-in is up to date.

IE: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

(In any case, getting rid of old versions of Flash is a Really Good Idea.)

Thank god I found this, that ad has got to be the most intrusive bit of advertising ever.

Think it's becoming premier payment or visit less and less. Fair enough tho 🙂

Thankfully the new, cheaper, Premier account makes it cost-justifiable.

I've given up at work now. Its just not worth everything hanging , crashing etc. So, it gets looked at less, less adverts being looked at , so quite defeating to the money makers.

Or stump up a mere £14.99 per year (that's 4p per day) to solve the problem. You must think there is [i]some[/i] value in the forum or you wouldn't bother reading it.
