Gee, thanks for new pop-out ads in these forums!

[Blitzkreig75]

Please, mods/editors, stop these things for the sake of everyone. They are annoying and slow your browsing of the forums down, (slightly, but still, it shouldn't be happening).

I should not have to change browsers to eliminate a problem that can likely be fixed by those in charge.

Big surprise...still there.

While useing IE7, I use ie7pro and it blocks the annoying ad, when flash blocking is enabled. But its a shame (for the advertisers) that it blocks the other "descent and non irritating" flash ads also.

Well, I could use the flash blocker in my Avant Browser, afterall it's just a click of a button, but I shouldn't need to.

If they're stupid enough to fire you from running THAT, you're probably better off not working there.

My company is so stupid that we are strictly forbidden to install or run any foreign software on our computers. My company is stupid enough to make the F22 Raptor. I'll deal with IE6....

No wonder those planes cost so much... their employees are spending half of their time surfing Anandtech

I guess that you'll have to find a way to get administrator access and edit the hosts file, or deal with it.

Hey, at least things are still better than the HardForums - they've gone down 2-3 times in the last week or so :|

I am now seeing the ads on the main page. I tried reading the Samsung 245T review, and on every single page the same Mederma ad would pop up like this. It was so annoying that I only made it through about 4 pages of the article.

I did the host fix mentioned earlier in the article, and I haven't seen the ads in the forums since.
