Hi, this is the third time this had happened.  When browsing Cliesource, prior to pages loading, ad Ad window interrupts the loading of a new page.  Is this a new AD system cliesource had implemented?  I don't mind supporting Cliesource this way, but if it's not cliesource, then I better Adware scan m,y machine.     __________________ NX70V/E - my complete organizer and handheld media center./NR70V/E - Survivor of a complete dive in a pond on a canoe trip.

Took me like 2 minutes to figure out what the hell was going on. If you click the X at the top right (which makes you think it will close) it redirects you to the ad site and doesnt close the window, its not obvious that all you need to do is scroll down - I REALLY DONT LIKE THAT. I dont mind ads, I understand there required for people to provide great sites such as this but when is a site more of an ad holder than a site, hope ClieSource isnt going this way. __________________ Aaron R Kelly aaronrkelly@hotmail.com

But I have my log-in saved and I have never seen anything like that here. Just the top banners and side banners. __________________ -Cameron

Don't know, I use an Ad Blocker, no more popups
