They are still up as of this evening.

Actually, it is not a minor complaint.

Definitely not work friendly.

Can you send a screen shot ("Print Screen" and paste into something like PowerPoint will work fine), so I can see the advertiser and the creative they're running? Thanks! You can email that to john dot mcganty at internetbrands dot com. Thanks!

No more banners or annoying ads

....... Plus 0.7.5.3 for Firefox:)

Hi Everyone -

I have received confirmation from our advertiser that these ads have been removed from the rotation. Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it.

Welcome to FT!! You might want to update your handle to include the IB association like JohnMcG has. :)

Good point. ;)

I'll be the one monitoring the ads on FT. Let me know if there any you find objectionable and I can have them removed.

Or for that matter if there is any other way I can be of service.

Xlent - might be worth having your IB connection noted in the left panel, you can see JohnMcG is in a nice red colour, as are a couple of the very helpful FT team.

Thank you and JohnMcG for helping clean this up

Is anyone else getting really intrusive advertising? I just clicked on a thread in the NW forum & it redirected me to a full-page ad for HP (I think - didn't pay close enough attention to it) which was an actual full page ad & then it offered to redirect me to the thread in a 15-second countdown. It was an extremly intrusive advertisement...

Full page ads like that shouldn't happen. If you can send a screen capture of the ad, we can make sure they're blocked.

I will next time I get one - it's only happened twice in the past 2 months or so, but if it happens again, I will get the screen shot for you.

Thanks, John! :)

I've gotten those full-page ads fairly frequently (before I started doing more blocking) for Monster.com .
