Default Is it me or...?

are all the ads starting to get really annoying, they either block the user CP/albulms/FAQ/etc up until Search.

or they explode from the bottom into a huge window

Usually a ford mustang up top, or walmart down below

The ones that get bigger if you roll over them, or start playing music or sound when you roll over them, are annoying as ****. And some of them damn Ford ads don't have a "Close" icon either. Pisses me off every time.

The Ford based ads always block the User Tool bar above.

The ads that morph don't have to be scrolled over. You only need to get near them with the cursor to set them off. In some cases just scrolling the page up and down can set them off .


Depending on your browser you may be able to download an AD Blocker app that will stop the ads from being displayed altogether.

I did this last night and the site refreshes so much faster between pages. The best part is no more stupid Ford ads blocking this Sites tool bar!!!
