So the Continuous, Never Ending pop up adds for Toyota have convinced me to trade it in and get one
I mean, it must be fate cause i box X it out on a thread and it magically Continuously, Never Ending keeps reappearing on EVERY thread I click on, it even follows my scrolling on EVERY thread,
...Geez

Believe there are other products I will be buying soon too, they follow me around a lot as well
I guess that means I will have to join a Toyota forum soon then
Could very well be the fastest way to divert potential new members from joining this forum or keeping your existing ones away, ...Really.

I cannot even look at threads on my phone cause it freaks out with all the activity in the scrolling, luckily I'm enduring my tablet til I'm ready to look at other Non-Annoying interfaces, ....I already have an Android phone and Android Samsung tablet, been getting that moving, scrolling pop up too, ...FML how Annoying that is.

I mean every time I scroll it moves up into the middle of the page blocking what I'm reading and then glitches to only drop to the bottom of the page when my finger lifts off the screen, ...ugh.
Makes me not want to click on any thread to be annoyed further....

Yes I find it very annoying also. I use an I phone 99% of the time and am always hitting the x. I understand that's how the bills get paid but damn there sure seems to be a better solution. I don't even know what they are advertising I just hit the box as soon as it pops up(no pun intended).

Yes there has to be a better way than this......
it's just too much. I'm not even gonna' go look at other threads, Im using my one Box out X a day on this thread.
I know advertising side areas work great as well, it doesn't have to MOVE when your scrolling, ...Ugh.
I'd love to see the numbers of Activity since this started, Non-members dropping by or new members who don't stay around for long and times and low post counts of existing members because of this Annoying feature

I've had the Add Pop up blocker clicked already on my Android tablet....lol

**Here was my fix, I switched browser Google to Mozilla and it now actually blocks them. Seems Google wants to get paid for them so they allow it. ★★Switch to Mozilla browser for this site★★...thank goodness, was getting outta' control.

I can't say I've seen a ad on stang net yet. I don't have any pop ups blocked on my android. I only get annoyances from the way my phone operates and the keyboard on this site, well keyboard all the time along with the autocorrect. . .


Mustangs are much more fun then Toyota's. They just make better mpg and daily driver features.

I get the stupid things on iOS. I accidently click on them three or four times a day. Gets annoying as hell.


In fact just got routed to Toyota due to a fat finger and it lagging BAD when scrolling.
