I guess the ad revenues from this really annoying popup matters more than our patience.

Mr. Elliott
I'm rapidly running out of patience and about to give up trying to read FT around that stupid thing.

This is ridiculous, guys! I'm getting this on every page! I didn't visit Flyertalk for several days because of this, when I normally visit multiple times per day. Fix this!

Agreed, this is by far the most obnoxious ad I've seen on any site I regularly visit. GET RID OF IT OR LOSE YOUR READERS.

This only reminds me that IB's timetable and diagnoses of problems doesn't seem to be in sync with general membership on FT.

As of today I am still getting this popup, but not as often as before, but it is still there, so the FT administrators still have not eliminated it entirely from FT.

I have been using the internet almost since Al Gore invented it, or so he says, and this has to be the most irritating and annoying popup ad I have ever run into.

Whoever at FT who allowed it or failed to properly screen the ads that are placed on FT should be forced to install this popup ad on their computer and have it popup every time they click on their mouse and see how they like it

If it helps, I'm getting it too. We're eliminating it. I am also getting it a lot less often. Hopefully soon that will be not at all. Sorry about this, everyone.

It seems to be gone for me. Thank you for getting rid of this annoying ad.

Yes, I only read FT when logged in. Actually hadn't seen it in a few days when it popped back up,

So why doesn't IB just fire this company that is serving these ads?
