Is there anything that can be done about these ads that cover the middle of the screen and there is no button that allows me to close it out?  It is extremely annoying and blocks off most of the page for me. Thanks.
I need to post more so that I'm no longer characterized as Tony Allen

I agree.  They didn't come up for me before, but they pop up everytime I open a screen.  It would be fine if there was a button to close the add, but I don't see one.  So it just ends up staying there and cutting off the top of an article.

There is this ad you have called World to Warcraft that covers the middle of the screen with no "x" or "close" box to get rid of it.  I couldn't even see the first post in a thread I was trying to read because of it.  Is there a reason that there appears to be no way of clearing this ad from the screen? Or am I missing something?

Edit:  Sorry, I see the problem is already being worked on.

If you don't want Ads. You can just download firefox, and get the adblock plus ad-on. I didn't even know there were ads until I started use internet explorer.

I have a pop-up blocker ad-on for Firefox and I'm still getting some of them. Maybe I have a different ad-on than you...

They went away this afternoon but I just started getting the popup ads again like 5 minutes ago.
