Ads with POPUPS/POPUNDERS have to GO!
Ads by themselves are okay. But those ads that spawn additional windows via popups and popunders are bad, and the ones that spawn even MORE windows when I try to close those are just abysmal. It's so bad I may have to stop using flyertalk until those ads are removed from rotation.
PLEASE, OH PLEASE get rid of those unscrupulous ads and only utilize those that don't interfere with popups/popunders.
thanks.

Just block the ads. It's not hard to do.

Thanks, Robb. Really, this is not a tech issue, and the tech forum is not really the place to discuss ads -- unless a particular ad is causing a technical problem.</font>
