The pop up advertising by Mich tires takes over the page and one cannot X out of it. I have to leave the site and come back on and hope it doesn t appear again.

I have it too... if I shrink my window size down a few times (CTRL and -) it'll show the exit button for the add. Press (CTRL and +) to zoom back in to normal size. Hopefully it helps you out.

To the members:

we (Admins and Moderators) have no control over the ads that you may see as the type you are talking about are Google based. If you have an issue your best bet, as suggested, is to post about it in the Help Section http://forums.corvetteforum.com/help-forum-31/

if possible please post the click through link/URL to assist the tech team in tracking down the issue.

J_T monitors that section and is very effective in resolving these issues but he won't know about them if they are posted in the General topic sections.

Thanks for your assistance.
