Annoying Adverts

Not sure if it's just me but over the last couple of days I get loads of really annoying adverts (for car stuff mainly) that pops up at the top and side of the screen and then keeps making the screen jump down.

I'm just about to click on a thread I want and the bloody advert appears and I end up clicking a totally different thread as the screen has jumped down, really annoying but I guess nothing to do with the management of this site?

    Not just you. This new style of ad is driving me crazy and is seriously making me consider switching to other forums.

    Just been reading about this on another thread and seen that you can install an ad-blocker ad-on to Firefox which I have now done and hey presto no more adverts at all :D

    That is what i've had to do, I do get migraines in the get tunnel vision, and so on. and that sort of adverts do for me start to trigger them can feel it in the back of the eye as you where...

    so I've had to reluctantly install add blocker, I don't mind adverts they pay for the site but I do draw the line at getting migraines... when they are gone quite happy to take add blocker off.
