After submiting a new post the ad comes on during the redirect. It causes your computer to stall.
I dont like it.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Is it all the time or just when you first log on and post the first time?

Firefox solves all ad related problems.

I'd run spybot sounds almost like some adware "crumb" got on your system.

wow, just opened the site in IE and I see all the pop ups you are talking about.

Download firefox, it does a great job and blocking pop ups, I have never received a single one from here and is a bit more secure then IE.

This topic has been discussed Ad Nauseum. Basically Mike has this as his ONLY source of income. The popups and ads are what fund him and the site. Personally I run firefox with some ad blocking software, but I make sure to disable it for this site, because of the extra money it brings Mike. As for the original post, I haven't ever had that, and yeah, sounds like some ware of some kind got on it. Either get Spybot Search and Destroy or Adaware SE Personal. Both are free and can be found over at download.com

+1.

Also this site sends you a cookie so it will only send you 2-3 popups a day. If you are getting more then you need to enable cookies for this site or delete the cookie you currently have.

If any ad is annoying or creating an issue, take a screenshot and copy the url. Send that in a pm to totalmotorcycle and Mike will take care of it for you.
