Pop-up video ad on the front-page...

I've been an avid visitor of MacRumors for years, and I have to say that this new video pop-up ad is annoying as hell. I respect your need to generate income to cover the costs of running the site, but there must be an easier way than this.

I've been an avid visitor of MacRumors for years, and I have to say that this new video pop-up ad is annoying as hell. I respect your need to generate income to cover the costs of running the site, but there must be an easier way than this.

If you can grab a screen shot and the URL of the ad, the admins can see about having the ad removed from the site.

What do I do about annoying ads?

MacRumors uses an advertising service that supplies ads from a pool. We do not select the specific ads shown or the specific advertisers who participate.

If you find a particular ad especially annoying (e.g., an ad that is oversized, obscures the page, moves around, or has sound), let us know by posting a screenshot in our Site and Forum Feedback forum and telling us the URL it links to. Using this information we can ask to have it removed from the ad pool.

If you find all ads annoying, remember that ads support the site and allow us to provide free news, rumors, and discussion, and that ads are suppressed for paid members. See How do I contribute to MacRumors.com? above.
