[feedback] HSBC ad pop in

While normally I don't mind the ads in the forum this one is getting on my nerves for multiple reasons. First off at the moment it seems to be the only ad I'm getting. Secondly it has an annoying pop in that has to be closed every single time. Thirdly it has an on roll over pop in as well so I have to navigate around it to get to my.neoforum. So because it is the only ad everytime I refresh it pops in again and again and again and I have to close it everytime. After only a few minutes of that it has become quite annoying.

Yes!

Pleeeeease kill this ad.

HBSC Direct and Trane are highly obnoxious.

They cover the screen with every page load, unheeded by no roll over.

re: [feedback] HSBC ad pop in

I second (or third) this notion. I don't mind the in-thread ads, but this one at the top is getting on my nerves, it scrolls down on it's own.

It should expand when we put our mouse over it. It's annoying when it just pops out of no where. Every freaking page and after every post.

re: [feedback] HSBC ad pop in

I am running on IE and I am also having this issue with both the Trane and the HSBC ads.

Like everyone else, I understand the need for the ads, but not when they take up half my screen for no reason.

re: [feedback] HSBC ad pop in

Can anyone take a screenshot of this? I haven't seen any "trane" ads at all, and the HSBC ad I see is a regular 728x90 with no popping or anything.

If you have the FF developer toolbar it would also help if you went to the toolbar's View Source > View Frame Source > leaderboard_forum.html source and paste it to this thread since I have to try to find out where this is coming from.

re: [feedback] HSBC ad pop in

This ad, I've only gotten once, and it was enough to make me hate it. I really hate this ad, and for some reason, I can't Ad Block it.

It even made me have to restart Firefox.

re: [feedback] HSBC ad pop in

here is the screenshot

is this the source code you wanted?

code

<script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8">
/* <![CDATA[ */
try { if (undefined == xajax.config) xajax.config = {}; } catch (e) { xajax = {}; xajax.config = {}; };
xajax.config.requestURI = "http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/15/t1155935-feedback-hsbc-ad-pop-in/";
xajax.config.statusMessages = false;
xajax.config.waitCursor = true;
xajax.config.version = "xajax 0.5 Beta 4";
xajax.config.legacy = false;
xajax.config.defaultMode = "asynchronous";
xajax.config.defaultMethod = "POST";
/* ]]> */
</script>

or is this it?

code

<div class="ad728" style="clear:both;">
				<iframe src="http://i.neoseeker.com/d/leaderboard_forum.html" height="90" width="728" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
	</div>

Here is the Trane ad:

Both Trane and HSBC pop out without provocation (no rollover). Even if I'm at the bottom and their header is at the top, it'll still jump out to cover half the screen. All HSBC and occasionally Trane is all I see.

These things make neoseeker navigation very difficult/frustrating as they disable scrolling every time they "pop out"

re: [feedback] HSBC ad pop in

Can you not crop the screen shots, link them externally? Its really annoying when they stretch the browser window

I seem to be getting the HSBC add on every single page too. out of about 20 pages/refreshes, only once did a different add pop up, but it hasnt expanded on me yet, it just stays the regular ad size, even if I mouse over it. I have AdBlock Pro installed on firefox, but disabled for neoseeker, but it may prevent it from expanding on me.. It does show up when I'm on internet explorer 7 though.
