what is with those ads??

Those ads pop up on any board and (on my computer) cover the button to create new post and to refresh the board.

  1. May I piggyback on to your pop up unhappiness? The ad for Infiniti morphs out of its hidey hole if you even get near the damn thing. And then it won't retract. Nowhere on the ad is a close button. I have actually had to close the site to get the ad off my screen. When you add in all the site problems of late and these frigging ad's it is getting to be more and more of a PITA to peruse something I do to RELAX (and instead I am finding it STRESSFUL!).

      I wonder....will we be seeing much more of this sophisticated advertising now that CBS controls Chowhound?

    2. Use Firefox and its Adblock Plus add-on. You won't see any of this junk.

        Add noscript to that and between the two it takes care of over 90% of the ads and unwanted scripts.
