A large number of the ads in the forums seem to have become Flash-based ads. I have Flash 6 installed on this computer and it works fine for most stuff. I really don't want to upgrade to Flash 7, and more to the point I can't when I'm browsing at work. So now I have to deal with IE-imposed popup windows almost every time I view a page on the forums. I know the ads can be coded so it doesn't ask you to install anything automatically, and it already switches to flash-based ads that are compatible with Flash 6 once I click "No". I don't mind the ads, that isn't the issue. I mind the fact that you have to install Flash 7 or be subjected to near endless popups in IE.
So please, is there any way the ads can be made such that they don't automatically prompt you to install software?
EDIT: I've highlighted the key part of my post that most of you missed. My work = no install rights. Hell, they almost had a stroke when the Publications department refused to switch to PCs from Macs.
