Scenic ad doing my head in

it's like something out of Terminator

I resent the way it spreads over the screen, I keep clicking to close it, and it shrinks momentarily, and then whump it spills back out again

Can it be restrained somehow

Aaargh. I'm wondering if I have different ads to those in the UK, but the University of Phoenix one is driving me nuts - like the OP, it drops down every 2 seconds. I am hating these new ads with a passion

I don't get to see any ads, popping or otherwise

Is this a blessing in disguise or am I deprived?

I must have clicked the 'close' box about five times but it just stayed there.
Then I logged off. When I came back it was gone. It hasn't reappeared today.

where that big blank box is? it's great.

i said this the other day - its awful

It's one of the skinny ones on the side which creeps over the text and you have to close.

SenoraPostrophe · 23/11/2006 17:48

what scenic ad? I was wondering why I hadn't seen any ads lately. IE must be filtering it for me.

LIZS · 23/11/2006 17:44

I think that if I log in once but then go away ( at the thought)and have to log back in later the same day it does it again . Can't be 100% certain though.

Hi there

As I understood it it's supposed to spring out once per user per day, but after that you'd have to click on it to make it spread. Are you getting more than that?

I hate it too. Exceedingly annoying.
