Really annoying Office Depot Ad Banner on OSO
Anyone else have the one that if you even move your mouse across the banner it throws up a full page ad? I seem to get it on every freakin' page. I don't mind ads, and I understand they are vital to the success of the website, but when I PAY to use this page, I do not appreciate having to avoid moving my mouse over certain parts of the page to avoid being bothered with useless ads.

RT, those ads are generated by cookies. They are basically "trails of bread crumbs" of websites you have visited in the past. There was actually a bill introduced to congress to stop this. They considered it a privacy concern. Just clear your cookies, but they will come back to haunt you after every website you visit. Come to think of it, I have never seen a forum that didn't have those annoying ads.

Some cookie thinks I can afford a new BMW. I've never had one open a full page ad. Can you try a new browser or tinker with the settings on your current browser to fix?

I don't get the Office Depot one, but I do laugh every time I get the ad for Cecil Marine.
Clearly, someone doesn't know the history that name has here.
