Annoying Ads... Anyone else seeing them?
I've just started seeing these annoying ads at the top of my FTE window. Anyone else seeing these? What's the best way to kill them? After all, I'm a paying subscriber to avoid the typical FTE ads and certainly don't want this other nonsense either.

I'm not seeing any. You might want to check your pop up blocker settings.

The thing is that I've not made any changes. These little ads are at the top of the FTE window and are supposedly "preference" ads. I'm only seeing them in FTE, too.

Ever since I switched over to Google Chrome for my web browser a couple months ago, a lot of these random and annoying ads and such stopped showing up. I used to use MS Explorer. Could that be it?

Been using Chrome on this machine for over two years now. They also show up when I launch with IE. Still... it's only showing up on FTE.

No ads since I got a membership for sure, can't remember before that how bad they were.

Don't see any here. Interesting observation though, the ones who seem to have the problem are 1 year supporters while the ones who don't have the problem are 3 year supporters.

Don't know what the heck to think about Rob since he seems to be both.

Edit. It looks like I've got both badges too, so double.
