Pop up ads
I am the only one getting pop up ads when visiting the site. It's bad enough to get a pop up ad but this one is in Spanish. Maybe the site is infected, I only get this pop on this forum.

Bob, I am a member of numerous (too damn many) forums and on some of them, the ads almost will bring you to a stop ! Downloaded the Firefox browser (free) and added "ad-block" (also free) and have absolutely no pop-ups, banner ads, etc. Sites that used to crawl are FAST now ! You can run it and keep Microsoft's Internet Explorer if you like.
Just a thought.... Has worked well for me. Doesn't make a difference if you are a supporter or not

My question is FTE allowing these or did the site get hacked? It happened a few months ago. If FTE is allowing it then I think it stinks, there are way too many ads already. I tolerate the side and top ads because other than slowing the loading of the page they don't really bother me, the pages load fairly fast for me. But the pop up ads are a pain, it's something extra I have to click off. Also, if they are being allowed by FTE why in the world would they think we'd want to participate in a survey in Spanish?!!

So what browser and anti-virus are you using? My AV (Kaspersky) also includes a Banner Blocker, as well as a pop-up blocker.

You're not alone, Bob. I got that one, too. And I use both Firefox and Chrome with Adblocker. Somehow, the ads and/or malware associated with this site have managed to disable and bypass Adblocker and I constantly have to fight that as well. I don't have problems with any other forum I visit, but this place is incredibly incessant with crap. If it wasn't for the fellowship and comoradarie here, I wouldn't bother coming back.
