    Yeah it is. There's a thin line right at the bottom edge that if you click on it all the way to the right at least it stops playing.

    Hey now. Caffeine is a life essential.
    Coffee. Shit. Shower. Shave.

    But how do you trademark the word caffeine?

    And why do you do a shitty hard to kill pop up that kills bandwidth?

    a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    If ads like that help to keep this shitshow going I'll deal with it. It's annoying as hell but it's not like we're paying for the place so...

    More than just annoying; it's a total memory and CPU hog.

    Jackson, we have a problem.

    I think most people complaining would have used that if it were available. As well as the people in this thread: https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...ying-pop-up-ad

    And I have clicked the top right arrow, (it's not an 'x'), and it only goes away for the page you're on. As soon as you go back to main, or any other page, it pops right back up. Absolute trash.

    I guess y'all could offer to pay the TRG folks what they earn from the ad to use the forum that's otherwise free. Yeah it's annoying but in the big picture it's just another one of those internet things. Whatever

    You seem a little confused. Posters aren’t complaining about ads here…I know they pay the bills…but popup ads that hover in your face and can’t be removed are renowned for irritating 99% of viewers.

    There's also the issue mods have mentioned repeatedly that their hands are basically tied and they don't have the resources needed, ie when accounts get locked out or basic password issues. If TGR wants to profit off our clicks that's understandable, but it needs to work both ways.

    Unpossible on an iPad, but possibly useful for the desktop/laptop crowd.

    This has already been said in another thread- it comes right back as soon as you go to main forum, or click on any other threads. It keeps coming back, no matter how many times you click on it to go away.

    I sent an email to the TGR web folk, that's the limit of what I can do
