Since one of the popular car manufactuer luanched it face-lift model, the
pop up advertisment has been placed at the most important position of this
home page. I have no problem with people placing their advertisment here,
BUT, I feel irrigtated when the advertisment keep on poping up and I could
not click on the 'Forum' function, ever time my cusor go near the location,
it luanches the advertisment.

To me, this way of advertisment is advertisment by way of force and
disrespect to its customer or whoever is visitng this site as it force me
to loook at the advertisment and deny me from doing something else !!

I look forward to see action to be taken with regards to this issue.

Thanks.

Unless you are willing to provide financial incomes to AW, how do you
suppose AW can survive without these forms of advertisements?

Cougar9,

As mentioned I have no problem with advertisment as website depends on the
advertisments to carry on BUT not to the extend of forcing the visitors of
the web to view it and can't click on certain function.

I totally dissagree with advertiment by way of FORCE !!

I have seen other kind of pop up advertisments but those advertisment come
with a 'close' function with 'X' sign and the viewers could close it if
they chose not to view it. But the advertisment that I refer to does not
have that function.

I hope you could undertand .

Cheers.

hey hamilton, go to download.com, look for Ad-aware SE (free edition)
download it. So far its the easiest to use and very effective. And for
additional security also look for Spybot ad blocker. also very good but
scanning is a bit slow. Good luck...

expended....Frown

Hello All,
We apologize for this. We will work with the agency to resolve the
matter.
Fyi, you can just close the ad by placing your mouse out of the banner.
and for those using IE, you can still click on all the navigation when
the banner is not opened. (For those using FireFox or other browser,
there may be problem, which we are already looking into resolving it).

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Jaime, next time test and QA properly before unleashing it onto the forum,
please. It would save alot of trouble like this.
