Scenic ad doing my head in

[bakedpotato]

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

I hate it too. Exceedingly annoying.

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 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.

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

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

i said this the other day - its awful

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

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.

I bloody hate it too, I will never buy a scenic now!!

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

Is this a blessing in disguise or am I deprived?

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

it's baaaack
I clicked 'close' endless times, it is still springing out

.

I'm glad it's not just me!!! I click close then back it comes, over the top of the text, over and over again. If it doesn't go away I'm going to have to stop using the site because I can't it.

I don't like it either! Blimming annoying in the enth degree!

i wish it would go

Move your scroll bar to the other side to prevent accidently opening the ad.

These ads pay a lot of money to MN compared to the static ones.

I would rather put up with them than pay subscriptions or lose MN completely.

StG.... you remember that I'm a technophobe right???????

Move the what? Where?

You weren't supposed to ask

I have no idea other than downloading a bit of software. Just saw it suggested on another thread.

I have ad blocking so don't need it, plus I rarely use the scroll bar (ahem, that would be the blue bar at the right to help you go up/down the page). I use the cursor keys instead (just for you, that would be the keys with arrows on).

It's okay. I've blocked the ad. I forgot that I could do that on a site by site basis! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again StG you've saved me!

For AOL users. I have just worked out how to block the scenic one:

Anyone using AOL go to the blocking pop-ups menu at teh bottom of the window. Select 'block animated media from MN' Viola.

SMS - Thank you, thank you, thank you

hate it

Stop whinging and get an ad blocker!

I have never seen any of these "creeping" ads.
