New popup ads covering up first thread posts ??

The new popup over the top post in a thread is really annoying. How is it killed?

what are you using for a browser? IE? FF? Chrome?

I'm occasionally having the same issue. I'm using Chrome and Windows 7 Enterprise. There is a youtube video for an ad that pops up, starts playing and covers up the first post. It happened just now and I saw the ad was for Prosaro, but it's not every Prosaro ad. If you close the ad it pops back up immediately the instant you move the mouse.

The best thing I found to do is to close the ad and read the first post without moving my mouse. Then when I scroll down it pops back up, but it only covers the first ad. I also mute my PC, so I don't hear it.

try using Ghostery.... its free for any browser & you pick your settings..

but it will totally eliminate pop up & flash ads..

I use AdBlock Plus. Works very well. Chrome with Windows 7 here.
