DEAR AUDIOGON STAFF: Please remove/fix floating ads that block what we are reading!!!

Even on a high-rez MacOSX laptop, I've noticed as of late that in addition to all the ads previously added to Audiogon pages from all sorts of sponsors and vendors plus the unwanted long list of certain dealers ads taking precedence in the search results (they should have no more or less priority in results than any other ad that fits the criteria), we seem to have a new form of ad on this forum namely, ads that sit right over part of the topic or other posting you happen to be reading. This type of fly-over/pop-over ad is not uncommon in web UI development but they always have a close button of some form. The new ones here do not and they don't adjust as you scroll up or down either.

Audiogon Staff; Please fix this! I realize this is primarily a buy/sell forum and your business model has changed to favor sponsors, dealers and other advertisers of value to you but it is also about exchange of ideas and helping others in this hobby in various ways; that is very hard to do or to read someone's posted response when 1/4 to 1/3 of the right hand side of the entire posting is obliterated by an ad that won't go away.

Thank you.

I agree with dill. I've never noticed what you're describing as I have Ghostery installed on my iMac as well. That, and AdBlock, are wonderful aids. 

All the best,

FWIW, I haven’t ever seen that occur on this site. I use Firefox on Windows 10 computers, without any ad blocker installed. I do have Firefox set to ask permission before allowing Adobe Flash to run on any site (which I generally do not grant, as allowing it to run often results in obnoxious talking ads and/or slow performance), although I don’t know if that has any relevance to this issue.

P.S:  Are you sure that some unwanted adware app hasn't found its way onto your computer?
