One word: AdBlock. Google it. It works

And if anyone want to blame someone for this, blame that infuriating sports drink ad. It was asking for it

Correct. Hense the need for them.

If the Ads keep the running costs down I'm happy to put up with them, AJOR has help me to no end & I have learnt a sh*t load.(well between that & braking the Heep over & over).
Deal with it!!!!

No matter how harp I try I just cant seem to avoid rolling over the damm things.

I guess its time to install add blocker but I really did'nt want to have to do this due to the fact that the hit count will go down for AJOR in regards to new pings with banners showing - - I guess just little old me wouldnt really make much of a differance...

Back in five...

the person that made that stormsurfers add needs to be beaten with a rubber fist .

where do i get this add blocker

That stormsurfer is the one I was referring to. I have no problem with any others, in fact I often click on them to see what the sponsors are offering at the moment.

But to accidentally roll over it, then not have an X close button - most of the time I have no option but to hit the 'back' button and start again. If I have just typed a nice long response to a thread I lose the lot.

It just needs a close button, or to automatically roll back up when the mouse is no longer hovering over it.
