Default Wal-Mart add has got to go..

It pops up a window in the middle of where I am going any time my mouse just passes over it.. I can live with banner adds that you click on to see what they are about. But that is just a little pushy, come on guys, none of that... There is no reason I should have to drive circles with my mouse around the page to use it

Use ******* and problem is solved. No more annoying ads all over the page and it even loads faster.

Screenshot the ad, post it, and we'll block it.

Same with any bad ad.

Since this is an ad-supported site, using or advocating ******* can get you banned.

Agreed! I was just coming here to post about the same thing! Almost every page, my mouse passes over a Walmart ad and then the ad loads, popping up an ad. I look at some ads, but I like to be able to choose if I want to visit and learn more, not be forced to constantly close pop ups!

This is the banner on the side of the page that will pop the ad up if your mouse just passes over, no clicking needed... there is another one that comes at the top from time to time as well.



This how it pops up, you have to close out of the ad you did not want to be able to see or use any of the rest of the page.



I am just tired of having to drive circles around this one banner ad to navigate the content of the page.

And for good measure...

the only problem ive ever had with the ads isnt really a problem lol
sometimes the ones on the side get cut off like they are meant for the top wide one

The add situation NEEDS to be taken care of. Maybe then people will stop advocating add block. At least once a week there's a new add that pops up/inappropriate/makes the site run slow/causes mayhem with the site.

RCT may be an add driven site but when the adds drive people away, you loose money.

Ad block does get rid of everything, We wanted to advertise RC parts but once i was told and shown that the ads could be removed we backed off from advertising.

i wish there were less of the ad's that dont relate. but hey money is money.....
