I am so sick of the annoying pop-up ad on this forum. It comes up every single time I visit. Can we not have someone fix it so it doesn't come up for someone who has already seen it?

It's been so long since I've had a pop-up, I don't think I remember what they look like. Seriously, I haven't had one in years. Firefox + Adblock + no pop ups, ever, ever ,ever. No, not ever.

I use my iPad and Safari. I have pop up ads blocked but they keep coming up. It's so annoying I think I will stop using this forum.

I have Google Chrome and have turned on their Ad blocking. No popups for me... except when I log on from work.

I also started getting popups when I view from my phone. This is a recent change. It is very annoying.

I have a Windows desktop and a Macbook, use Firefox with Flashblock and Adblock + on both. Don't ever see popups.

I never get popups on my desktop and hadn't been on the tablet, but have just started getting that same annoying popup on my tablet that you are talking about! I have already decided to complain, too. If you try to X out of it, it moves and makes you click on it and here you go... Most annoying thing on the planet and I totally agree! This has just started for me as well, they have changed something and I'm not happy about it.

I have adblock on my Mac using Safari. Check to see if it's available for the iPad as well. It removes all ads, not just the popups and moving ones. Quite refreshing!

I do not get any pop-ups here. If somebody is annoyed by adds, do not try youtube. They made a new feature: adds that you can't get rid of. And also some you can close but first after 5 seconds. The most grotesque thing about it is , that they are supposed to be chosen especially for me(I'm the target). Out of thousands, not a single one has ever come close to what I'm interested in. Not even by a long shot.

Downloaded Adblock Plus onto my tablet and the REALLY ANNOYING, GETTING IRRITATINGLY MORE FREQUENT new popup that only shows up on my tablet is now toast. Yeah!!!!!!!! I will never, ever purchase that product, I can assure you. It's funny to me, though that this one ad is the only one that has ever gotten through my regular filter. They should know better than to make it that intrusive.

I went to settings on safari and set to block pop ups. I still get the Colgate ad from time to time, but not every time. So odd!
