the peer99 ads are not pop ups but an ad 2-3 posts down at the beginning of a thread. Guess I misspoke by saying popping up again...

Not seeing them at work with Firefox, and I am not running any anti ad plugins here like I do at home.

At home I see zero ads on account of the "Ad Blocker Plus" plugin for Firefox.

I do see the main two ads here at work though, the one at the top below the blue navbar below our picture banner, and another one at the bottom, but nothing else in the posts/threads.

The only thing I can see period is the main forums page is the bushwacker add in the wiki section.

I dunno, perhaps it has to do with the fact im running spyware terminator has something to do with it?

So the deal with 'peer99' is that I only see it if I am not logged in..
I see it at work (Intel Corp) and for IP reasons our firewall, spyware crap is pretty damned serious stuff so i know it was any of that stuff...just only when I was surfing with out being logged on-go figure...

Yes, many sites push more ads to you when you are not a member or not logged in.

I never log out here, I am always regged up.
Other sites I use if I do not log in, I see more ads.
