I know this has been discussed previously and it seemd to go away. But today I got ads on OSO that covered 75% of the screen for "Blue Bunny Ice Cream" "Eye Drops" , and " a Crock Pot". Seriously WTF guys? This is really stupid. I don't mind the irrelivant ads at the top, but to have to deal with them covering up 75% of my screen. NOT COOL!!! Am I on a high performance website or wal-mart's website?

The pop ups are enlarged banner ads that are at the top. What I don't get is why a crock pot, eye drops, and ice cream..... When you click on close they go back to the normal banner size at the top of the page. I do not have a virus or spyware.

it depends on where you curser is when you switch pages, if your curser is in the middle or up top and you switch pages and it centers there it expands it. I would suggest using mozilla and installing adblocker, its all free and knocks them out 100%

Just click them off right away. That's how these sites make money. What I don't get is that it's been proven that most Facebook users find ads to be nothing but annoying. So why should it be any different of forums like this one? The ads are just an annoyance and I'm not going to buy something because an ad pops up.
