What's with this annoying popup ad for "Magic the Gathering"? She just keeps on "coming back"! Everytime I click on a forum thread or on "Next Page" I get that irritatingly silly popup window. Worse, you get a window instance for every click so your desktop gets full of the garbage after reading for just a couple of minutes.
Anybody know how to prevent this ad from popping up (for ever)?
Angels: Can't this advertisement be restricted to the banner at the top of the web page?

Try switching off javascript in your browser's settings. I never got a popup banner since I did that.

I always get only one - irritating enough but nothing worse. the advertisements for casinos are more irritating and take more time downloading Switch to Netcape Perhaps IE does the doubling.

there's a point for our (manor sites) forums, over HGS' forums. ours are made by our very own cgi/perl dude. ZCom Forums.. and tey got more features too
also our sites, we have forums just, like the HGS sites, but we also have content... which, some HGS sites don't have.
Uh - the prob with forums is not in the quality of the forums itself but in attracting forumers. for EE that won't be very hard as EE is new and everybody wants to discuss it. But AOE - think it over. Look at what happened with somebody else's forums. Also it's very decent of AOEH to let these forums open when most other AOE/ROR forums have been closed. Running away now is - not very thankful. (Guess you think I'm a bore now - you're right ;P)

Seen the latest ad about attracting females with human pheromones?
