same J, give in to firefox!
Actually now that you mention it the problem started when i switch over from firefox to internet explorer, because i was having trouble with firefox, is there a third option for pc?

Google Chrome  but it's very beta (and sends even more of your data to the Googlonian Empire relative to Firefox)

Pick your poison.

I use Google Chrome and I dont experience any annoying ads, or pop ups. As for google chrome sending your info to the "google empire", not if you know how to play around with the settings. The good thing about Chrome is that it's open source, so if you know how to program or mess with settings, its good to go. I have 0 problems with it, and theres less buttons, and WAYYY faster than IE or Firefox, or Safari.

Am I the only one getting a ton of "Gay Mature Dating" ads here? I wouldn't mind it if it appeared like once a week or something, but I get them just about everytime I go to the front page. This is for the banner ad and the one that appears below the first story.

I really wonder what I've been browsing that makes them think I'd be sooo interested in Gay Mature Dating lol.

hahahaha...yes.

If you get an ad that you don't like, post it. We email them to SBN and they take them outta rotation.

I have yet to see the "Find a Russian Wife" ad, but I hope I do someday.

I'll screen cap them and post them.

On the front page, the links bring you to player / team pages through SBN.  If you're seeing anything else, I don't think it's intentional through the site.

I hope this is the right place to make a complaint like this. But the ads on this website have become more and more annoying. I know its SB Nation that choses these ads and theres little you guys can do about it. But the interactive ads if feel take it to far. I usually have multiple tabs open on my computer, and this is one of those sites I always have open. And theres nothing more annoying then listening to a good song, and have it be interupted by an ad that you can't locate.

I guess this is a complaint of the direction the internet is taking. Its just becoming alot less free and more commercial, and its innevitable, but it just bothers me.
agreed, I tried complaining about it and the Forum topic was immediately deleted.  Nice to see we are at least alowed to complain about SB still.

TP for your rebellious post.

I'm pretty sure this never happened.  Maybe your topic got merged or moved, but we don't delete complaints about the site.

Never had a problem with clicksor myself in this site. Just the "Gay Mature Dating" ads lol.

weird, it's on on celticsblog that I get it, and when I clicked a link to go to a new page on a thread or a new thread about 4 popups would come up but my computer said there was no virus problem the popups have stopped but the clicksor hasn't

Here are the ads:



thanks for the screen captures - this makes them much easier to remove

I've requested that they get taken down (as I have for the russian women ads and other dating sites)

Hopefully it can be fixed! :o

A bit topic related, since this has more to do with the actual layout. I use IE 7, and the  banner ads are constantly overflowing onto the CB's menu. It's been like this as far as I can remember, but for some reason I haven't brough it up.

Any of you guys using IE 7 also have this problem? It's not for every ad, but most do. As far as I can tell, Firefox displays them correctly.

Here's an example:
