Annoying *banner ad* on this forum

[bradzx]

How I can get rid of stupid pop up that I go everywhere on this website. I close and i go other place, it back. Who create this moron pop up ad?! Tell this person remove it already. It really annoying and lag a bit for loading.

I'm also getting it with IE. Good job I never use it.

EDIT: The red 'close' tab is showing with Opera. Firefox and Chrome (both using adblock extensions) are clean.

I have the same problem too help me! The same happens on my school computer, it's annoying !!!!!

Thank you all for the screenshots.
I apologize and stand corrected.
After opening the site in IE the ads and popups all appear.
It's currently midnight in Costello's time zone, so when he comes online in the morning we'll see if we can get to the bottom of this problem.

 

[kashiboy]

it shows up when your not logged in.
however, i tested it on firefox and ie9, i only see the close on the lower right corner.

NO! it still shows up even if you are logged in

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

kashiboy is correct. In hobo33's screenshot you can can clearly see that he is logged in and experiencing the popup ads

That what I talked about.

oh sorry, well that was just me then. in firefox, where i never logs out. it showed up when i did. in ie, it shows up, but not when i logged in.

I had the ad in IE 6(or 7. Not sure which the school is using.) when I was not logged in.

When I logged in, the ad went away

 

[scruffman]

I also have the ad. Logged in or not.

Me too. I tested it for both. Still annoying pop up ad.

While this is being resoled you can just download an ad blocker.

 

[BoxmanWTF]

:| I don't see it.
I'm glad

 

[scruffman]

Which ad blocker do you recommend?

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

Well your thread is now in a place where it will be noticed by Costello as soon as he logs in. However that probably won't be for another few hours.
We believe you.
You can rest assured that the problem will be addressed.

At this moment people using Firefox 7.0.1 aren't seeing any ads. For the moment that will fix the problem of seeing the popup ad.
But we're asking that you don't use other ad blocking software because the regular, less annoying ads are the revenue that keeps GBAtemp online and free to use.

Or if you're using any ad blocking software, add gbatemp to the whitelist, like me.
But I don't see any pop ups

 

[alidsl]

I saw it before logging in on chrome

 

[Burton]

The problem are Sex Related ads

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

Burton: You're using firefox and still getting the popups? Which version?

And the sexual ads make me fairly certain that these popups will be removed.

I did the same now.
But still no popups even when GBATemp is whitelisted.
But that's probably because I'm on Firefox 7.0.1


Edit: I just tested and the popup happens on Opera even if Adblock is enabled.
