It won't stop it's pissing me off.

You should PM Admin and see if they can get rid of it. It's either them advertising to get money to pay to keep the forums running or its vBulletin advertising to get themselves money. I don't understand why people advertise, I never click on them and I don't think half the world does either.

Actually, it's the host who places the advertisements, in exchange for letting us use the space on which the forum is hosted. The administrators have little control over the ads.

I got the pop-up a couple of times on the university network, but the not on my homecomputer. This may be because I use Firefox, while the university uses IE.

I use Firefox, and with that Spyware Blaster, I get nothing, I feel neglected

Same here, although quite frankly I'm fine with it.

Hmm...
Using IE6 and Google Toolbar I only have one popup.

Ah well! It could be worse. Does anybody remember the mosquito advert. That one where you had to kill the mosquito with the zapper to win a "Free Plasma TV". It was not the nature of the advert that made it annoying, it was the accursed sound over and over again that would just not shut up, even if you tried to kill the wretched thing!

And does anybody remember the Mate1 advert, now that was just unacceptable and was on the border line of been an explicit image! If anybody had posted that image on the forums that would probably have got them at least one warning point!
