| There's a "honey bunches of oats" commercial that covers the screen when I enter parts of this web site.
Is there any way to block that? I have a pop up blocker, but that darn cereal commercial freezes my computer for a bit even when I click the "skip" area. I guess you gotta love *and* hate capitalism. |

| I get none of those ads. I use Firefox with AdBlock Plus. |

| There are numerous ways to block such stuff. You might try asking at Computer Help. Lots of savvy folks there. |

| Download the free Firefox browser with Adblock Plus; it's a better browser than Internet Explorer and faster. And I know what you mean...whoever came up with that commercial should be tarred and feathered. I'm never eating Honey Bunches of Oats again! |

| Firefox works great. Another way you can get back at these advertisers is give them what they want, "a click". I have to imagine that the click through rate that ivillage charges is probably somewhere around $3-$5. Just click it once a day and make some extra money for ivillage and support the gardenweb. |

| I'm using firefox... but just downloaded the adblocker. Thanks! ah! |

| I don't use Firefox. I have to deal with the dreadful "movie" thing every so often and that hugely annoying survey, but simply click them shut and that's it. I miss the days of Spike... but who could blame him for selling to the "dark side"? Cracks me up that the crap advertised here now is NOTHING I ever buy. Nor have I EVER clicked on one of the side ads.! Why would I click on something that doesn't interest me in the least? What does that say to the "dark side"? ;) (put me on a "watch list", probably! lol). |
