Wish I knew how to turn them off as well.

Wish I knew how to turn them off as well.Same here.Split videos popping up for the past few days, apparently from ad choices, blocking posts on the page are the most annoying thing ever on this site. Brad is probably unaware that it is even happening, because he would not allow that if he knew.

I will alert the advertiser to turn those off. I've had to do it before.I hope, in the meantime, you'll bear with the ads. Because of them, we'll be able to purchase better software for the board as well as completely fund the server costs when we move to a new server.Thanks,Brad

I realize we need to pay for the site, and the banner ads are fine. Just that these are above annoying. And I'm using IE and have popups turned off.

I use FF 5.0 with adblock plus and never see a single add on this website EVER not even pop ups. It does an amazing job blocking ads on sites all over the internet.

When I use IE on another computer and visit sites I frequent I don't recognize them because of all the ads.
