When I visit armor games I get pop-ups(lots of them) even though my pop-up blocker is turned on, but they are manageable and do not interfere with the game I'm playing. But it is the freaking car ads that are supposed to expand to cover your screen if you mouse over them and even when you don't mouse over them. I know in this tough economical climate it's hard to come by money especially on a free game development website for budding coders. I only ask that these intrusive commercials be left out of the website as it is hard to navigate with them expanding all over the place. If at all in the future when you sign a commercial contract please do so with this in mind.

Here is an example of what im talking about:

I navigated to this page and was immediately confronted by this ad and when I clicked close it did not go away instead it minimized to the bottom of my screen.

and even more so when you click close again it only minimizes the ad further.

I get that too sometimes and it is really annoying and just like you said when you try to close it, it doesn't close it just minimizes and i find the ads to be really annoying especially when I'm trying to leave a comment on someones page then the ad just pops up and won't go away. I think it should be dealt with.

I'm using FireFox (latest), and all I ever get are the Mormon ads at the bottom of a user's profile and some side and top ads next to games, plus all the normal image ads everyone has. I *do* use IE for my spam-flagging alt that I use--if I see that is the case, then I suggest using FireFox, if you aren't already using it.

This is exactly why I love videoegg. It stops you from doing what you came here to do.

Well I don't visit insurance websites, car websites or anything that is even remotely related to those two subjects.

I've also recently cleared all temporary internet files and local storage data but I'm still getting these. Maybe it's regional?
