seems to keep it at bay; I haven't seen it.
If you mean the giant ad that if you click anything it redirects you

then yes. I just wait 5 seconds then click on close.

are you seeing inside or outside of threads, or both?
If you mean by take over ad  
bigblue1124 : 4/12/2014 8:25 am : link
that every time I visit the site the home page is taken over by a pop up ad then yes.
not  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 4/12/2014 8:28 am : link
the front page. There I allow one of the "pop up" type ads per visit.

Have to pay the bills.

But I don't allow them in the forum.
When I initially go on the site an ad the size of the entire screen  
gmen1234 : 4/12/2014 8:28 am : link
pops up in front of the BBI site. If I click on anything it redirects me. I just have to wait a few seconds then the close window appears in the top right. Not getting them once I'm on the site though.
Ya it's not a problem especially if it helps you pay the bills.

I forgot this morning and all of the sudden I was on an opra site.
no issues in the forum at all  
bigblue1124 : 4/12/2014 8:36 am : link
but if you mean one time visit to the home page with a pop-up ad is allowed I get them every time even if I simply refresh. And or click the home page from the forum.

And PS great job with everything Eric. It seems this off season has to have been your busiest to date.

I appreciate it

Yes, often over the past few days. In fact I had the add pop up twice while I was trying to log in.

Same thing last night for me but I was on my phone. I haven't had any trouble on the PC.
pop ups  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 4/12/2014 9:57 am : link
on front page are necessary...or I will have to close the site.

You simply close them by clicking on the x in the right upper corner.

I did last weekend. Not since.
Yes

Redirected to an entirely different page. Happens automatically when opening a few threads. Maybe 3 times the last 2 days. I just close everything and revisit the site. No anti virus stuff pops up so I guess it's ok? Hope that helps

Not getting redirected anywhere, but on my phone I have a huge ad pop up everytime I go to the home page. It literally takes up the entire screen.
Happened again.

This was the address it re-directed to
