    Angry Random adverts popping up.

    What is up with all the adverts popping up in my face, while browsing mmo-champion?
    I am this [extremely close!] close to leave mmo-champion and find another fan site to hang out in, no one likes having random pages shoved in their face while reading...

    popups come from viruses on your computer, not a website.

    Year has nothing to do with it, the fact is this is intrusive and makes me wish those advertising companies would burn in hell, rather than wanting to buy whatever crap they are selling.

    No viruses here, and it only happens while browsing mmo-champ

    The year has everything to do with it.

    you mean the ones that open a new tab or new window? yeah fairly annoying. browser games, super markets and dating websites are the most common ones.

    and this is website related, it happend the first day i opened MMO-C on my new laptop.
    This is a signature, there are many like it, but this one is mine.

    It's less a band aid and more like a surgery to remove the tumour permanently.

    You can't even begin to imagine how pleasant Adblock is until you have it.

    It isn't a disease, popups are intentional. What you are experiencing is a small glitch in the code for them to appear so you them more often than you should.

    Adblock will fix this and if you are high and mighty about it you can cleanse your sins by unblocking sites that you want to support.

    Pop-up ads are not intended and should be reported in this thread. Please provide the information requested in the OP as it makes the offending ad MUCH easier to find. If you can't get all the info put as much as you can. Thanks
