There are probably some settings in your browser preferences that you can use to stop that. I'm also running Firefox on Mac and don't see any popups.

Similar problem: Some of the popups go to full screen when you roll over them. It is like navigating a mine field. It would be real nice if they went away also.

I get pop ups, some with video, when mousing over an add even without clicking on the add. When careful not to move to mouse pointer an add then no popup. I use Windows 7.

That happens to me randomly. Usually a simple refresh of the screen makes it go back to 'normal' for me.

Similar here at times. I don't don't bother with it and visit other sites to get my fix about other things like trucks or MTB tandems.

I paid for a membership a few years ago so I don't see most of the ads when I'm logged in. I just tried visiting from a different Mac with Firefox 12 and logged in as a guest. I see the banner ads on the top and right and in some postings but nothing full screen. I don't see any of the Vibrant mouseover ads though that's probably browser specific.

The whole pop up-thing is to generate revenue so that forum continues to run. Because I'd experienced the pop ups in another forum that I'm a member of, I elected to pay the pittance for a "supporting member" subscription. No more pop ups for me. All that said, I went the paid subscription route in Bike Forums to escape the ads shortly after I registered. Zero regrets (though I do catch an occasional ad at the top).
