Family Dollar pop-ups. Is it me, or are they REALLY annoying!?!??!

Today I noticed a Family Dollar ad in the side bar. No problem. I like the ads as they offset costs of the Forums, and I often click one's of interest. But this Family Dollar ad really sucks! I keep getting these HUGE pop up ads. It's very aggravating.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Please email me screenshots of these popup ads to tom(at)bikeforums(dot)net. I can get them blocked. The adserve network serving them up isn't supposed to be doing popups or rollover ads.

I am getting pop-up ads today. They're especially annoying because they have audio. Loud audio. I am a red star member, so I shouldn't be seeing any ads at all. But nobody should be subjected to this annoyance.

Please submit a screenshot of the ad and we'll block it.

Forgive my ignorance, but I know that Titanium gets you ads-free browsing -- what is red star?

Red star is the original lifetime premium membership that was replaced with Titanium membership.

In Windows, do a PRINT SCREEN and paste the file into, say Paint, and save the file, then post it into this thread.

Or you can email me the screenshot at paul (dot) obrien (at) internetbrands (dot) com -- please identify that it's from BF.
