I full realize advertising is what keeps the ball rolling.  However, this latest participant is a "Bridge Too Far."  This stupid recurring banner add from HU Entertainment News is just WAY TOO MUCH!!  It keeps popping up and popping up and popping up and popping > > > > > > and it blocks topics and we have to stop and delete it Over and Over and Over and Over > > > >   Yes.  It's specifically designed to do that but it is just too dam'd ANNOYING!!!

I have ad blocker also. Must be why I've never seen that ad.

Not coming from CASCITY. I suggest you get a good ad blocker. I have "AdBlock Plus" it is a free one. Try that.

You shouldn't, but that is just the way it is anymore.

Must be your machine is infected with something. I have no ad blocker and have not seen anything like that.

Nope.  Not infected with anything.  My Machine is a MAC.  No antibiotics needed.

Today, the offensive constant Pop-Up at disappeared.  Wunderbar.

My Dear Coffin

Might I assume that you are using Safari?

If so you might consider an ad blocker from the apple store

Ever since apple went to Intel chips instead of the Motorola 68000 series, macs have actually
Been at risk of virii & etc, especially those delivered via browser crap or clicking on emails....

Very sad actually....

:)  My Good Perfesser  ;)

Many thanks.  Yep.  I do in fact run Safari and I was completely unaware of the switch to Intel Chips opening the door to nuisance problems.  Will exercise more caution in the future.
