Takeover Ad

Someone complained about an expanding ad on the site. I’d like to verify whether his report is accurate.

If you have noticed any ads expanding into a large part of the screen, please let me know. I have those types of ads turned off in all the site’s ad networks. If you find such an ad, please do me a favor and post a comment in this thread with as much info about the ad as you can. With the right info, I’ll be able to figure out which ad network is the culprit and resubmit my preferences.

Thanks in advance.

I just had one float across my screen from "Opinion Central."

2. Guapo Posted: July 29, 2007 at 04:57 PM (#2460233)

One from what looked like "Hugo Fragrances" on the main baseballthinkfactory.org page. (I instinctively closed it out before I could get a good look at it.)

I got the same thing just now in a newsblog thread, Guapo.

4. TVerik Posted: July 29, 2007 at 07:53 PM (#2460740)

I just saw one as well, although I don't remember the brand.

I've gotten a few this week, though I can't remember the specifics.

7. TVerik Posted: July 30, 2007 at 01:41 PM (#2461303)

Hugo fragrance in the Steinbrenner Newsblog thread.

8. RB in NYC (Now with New iPhone!) Posted: July 30, 2007 at 02:24 PM (#2461329)

I just had one from Circuit City in the Boston Scalpers thread

9. Van Lingle Mungo Jerry Posted: July 30, 2007 at 02:44 PM (#2461353)

I just saw the same Circuit City ad as RB in NYC, in the "Best Red Sox Trade Ever" thread.

10. Eric Chalek (Dr. Chaleeko) Posted: July 30, 2007 at 02:56 PM (#2461362)

I just saw the CC in a HOM thread too.

But at least the buzzing mosquito ad hasn't appeared in like two years....

its that damn circut city ad in the game chatter

12. villageidiom Posted: July 31, 2007 at 03:41 PM (#2462865)

American Express, just now in the Sox Therapy trade deadline thread.

I also got the Circuit City expanding ad last week, FWIW.

13. Guapo Posted: August 29, 2007 at 02:17 PM (#2503343)

Network Solutions, in Harvey's Cubs-Brewers thread.

Much worse than the occasional expanding ads are the talking ones, especially when you're trying to listen to a game or some music on another window. The noise only lasts a second or two, but it's annoying as hell.

15. MM1f Posted: July 17, 2008 at 09:52 PM (#2862633)

Yeah, could we get rid of the Ad offering "Free IM smilies" or something. It was on top of the SNY: Salfino: Players due for Corrections thread and said "HELLO!" "HELLO!" over and over in the most annoying voice I've ever heard
