There are "ads" appearing in the forums, that instead of being the typical banner ad, they instead replace the current forum page with a new page for their service. You can't get to the forums without manually returning to them. Even if you click back, you are redirected to the ad page after a second. They are incredibly annoying and make it difficult to follow a thread.
Doc, which web browser are you using to view the forums? Sometimes these ads are not purchased by the site's owner. Firefox has a program called AdBlockerPlus that allows you to block out any ads and images you choose. Works great for me.
I use firefox, but I don't use AdBlockerPlus because it interferes with other things I need to work.Quote:

My AdBlocker doesn't interefere with anything, from what I've seen. It simply allows me to choose which ads/windows I want to block. Otherwise, I'm able to stream music, have the pop up windows I need, etc. Which programs (or types) is it blocking for you so that I know what to look out for in the future. Thanks!
I am having this problem again. It has been a while but the past several days it is bad again. More on the Forum Main Page for me.
I do have an AdBlocker and a Pop Up Blocker. This is the only sight that I am experiencing this. No other websites or other Disney Forums isolate to WDWR. I am not getting it on the WDWR Home Page. Go Figure.
Anyhow today's web ad that keeps coming back and back again is very inappropriate for a family sight. It is an ad for MIVU for meeting new people. It is cartooned however the "couples" are in very suggestive positions and acts.
X out to see forums and then you get a larger version. Yikes.
I've been hit with mywebface ads on two other sites now. One is another disney forum, and another was a news web site. Sigh...I've put in a couple of blocks on my network...
I am fortunate that it is only on WDWR for me. :yes:
This time it was just a little to suggestive not to say something.
I remember they were having an issue here a while back with those stupid "You won!" audio tracks playing over ads, but they were able to fix it. I haven't had any problems since then, and the site no longer comes up as potentially dangerous when I use IE.
