You need to contact the iVillage folks, not just post here; at the bottom of the page, there is a link called 'Contact us'. Alternatively you can post in the Suggestions forum.

You might also want to investigate using a browser that allows you to limit pop ups. I use Mozilla's Firefox browser and I have never seen that ad.

Here is a link that might be useful: Suggestions forum

That is the same browser I use. It is irritating and only attached to this forum. but it is back today.

If you're using Firefox, try adding the free AdBlock Plus add-on.

It's so annoying! Today its a South Beach Diet ad! My pop up blocker doesn't stop it...

Mine has been working some days others not. What a PAIN!

Arcy, I'm a newbie in this forum but maybe this will help

In Firefox, go to Tools, Options, Content tab and check next to Block pop-ups in the "allowed sites", then make sure that forums.gardenweb.com is NOT in the list of what popups are allowed

good luck to you
