What's up with the full page ads?
Just started getting full page ads when going into new sections of the forums. The ads have a skip button on the bottom but what a pain!
What's up with this?

Let me know where the ads are coming from (if you can tell). I actually don't want any full-page ads here in the forums and need to find out where they are coming from so I can shut them down. Thanks.

I've seen a full page ad from Symantec 3 or 4 times today. Will grab a screen shot next time.

I've been getting the full page ads as well. The text in the picture is fuzzy, but the URL is the same as above.

I just had a netflix one on the System Security forum. I can'[t recall which other ads I have seen because I took it that it was a way to make extra money here and they were legit.

I must say, I haven't had a single full page ad.
Running linux mint both with and without ad blocker, and running ie7 on vista.

The ads come randomly before I click on anything on the site. Even when I click to PM someone, it would pop up a full page ad. Anywhere from PM to viewing a subsection. Getting a little annoying

I am about to ditch one of the ad networks and I *think* the full-page ads may be coming from there. So, we shall see guys.

Hey, what company is being advertised in this full-page ad? I need to try to figure out where it is coming from.
EDIT: I've got an email in with the main company I use for ads to see if it is coming from them. I don't believe Adsense even does full-page ads, so I'm not worried about them. Last edited by drisley; 05-02-2009 at 08:05 AM. |

I think I have figured out where these full-page ads are coming from and I have put in a filter to block them. Let me know if you continue to see them.
