I definitely agree with you! I have had to dance around a little bit here, because the pop-ups keep stopping me from getting down the page or changing topics. I think we can all understand that the sponsors need to make some money to keep the site open, but they could at least figure out a way that they could get rid of the pop-ups, or use in line advertising space that we can pass over, if we are not interested in it.

pop-up blocker?

I find the overbearing advertising offensive too. I understand the top and side of the page and will live with that but the pop ups (which don't seem to be blocked by my blocker since they appear to be part of the page and not a new window) and the flashing animation on adds make me spend as little time as possible here.

I agree. The pop ups have made me look for an alternative to this site.

Dang, I usually have my sound down but today it wasn't and I logged in. I had not realized that some of these flashing adds also contain annoying repeating sound!!!!!!!

If you have Mozilla Firefox there is an extension that blocks Flash, such as these ads.

Dove Chocolate is the worst! I'll never buy one!
