I've been running without my adblock recently as I site I use for work gets messed up by it as it is a very aggressive list to block, it even blocks images of "advertisement" size and that's where the problem comes in.

I've had banners that start the MCF low, yesterday I had an ad with sound. The banner at the top makes the search nearly impossible to us (the search bar under the nav menu). Roll over ads, the dumb Cadillac thing, etc. It's a PITA.

Just re-added my adblock file for Iron/Chrome and I'm back in business, no Cadillac thing on the pictures, no banners. It's still annoying on my phone with the stupid popup on every page.

I got some info from Internet Brands about the pop ups.




The
Cadillac ads on the images are a replacement of the prior ads we had on the
images across the site and should only be seen by logged out users as the prior
product was.

I was unable to get the ads when logged in today. Please have the members give
feedback to let us know if they are only appearing when logged out. If not then
we will make sure to modify that setting to ensure there are no problems.





As for the Cadillac ad, there is one that I see on the right hand side of the page. Under the heading "Advertising". I finally got it in the rotation of ads. If you roll your mouse over it for 2-3 seconds, a larger ad pops up in the middle of your screen. The ad is more of a commercial, with video and sound. But on my screen, there's an X in the top right corner of the ad. As soon as I click the X, the ad disappears.

I have also seen ads near the top of the page, in the center of the page. Occasionally I get an ad in the rotation that does the same thing. If you roll your mouse over the ad for 2-3 seconds, an advertisement pops up like I mentioned in the previous paragraph. But I'm always able to just click the X, and it goes away.

Every page I go on and on every picture there is a cadillac ad. Even though I close it out with the X, there is another one waiting for me on the next picture on the same page. There is one now over your signature covering the lower part of Taz and your Monte......

I don't see them logged in as an admin. I'll try my other account, and hopefully I see what you guys see. So I can tell Internet Brands from first hand info. Thanks for the replies!

I never saw the ads when I was logged in as 99gagtx. I did log out completely, and saw small ads above some members sig pics. But not covering them.

I'll let Internet Brands know that some of you are getting them while logged in. Hopefully they can figure it out.

Thanks again for the quick replies guys!

For instance...I just saw the cadillac ad over your signature pic....
(as it does with ev1's sig pic)

Its very annoying. So, if i understand this correctly...Its only suppose to show up when your not logged in?

Maybe once it gets resolved...I can once again log in and post with my windows phone...Hopefully ..Thanks Lou!

Hi Dave I get them even when I'm logged in........ Too crazy they just came out of no where and they are persistent for sure.
