Last I know CorvetteForum does not allow pop-up advertising and if it occurs it's either a rogue ad or the member's computer has malware installed unknowingly to them.
In order to assist we'd need to see a screen capture of the pop-up as well as a click-through link.

You can hit the Prnt Scr key and then open Paint and paste the image in, then print it or save it as a JPEG. As far as Pop ups, what browser are you using? Use Google Chrome......Microsoft Internet Explorer is not a great browser to use.

None of the links you provided are the links that are needed to track down the origin of the ads. If it's flash-based you may need to click through the ad to get the destination.
I want to ad that just because they may appear here does not mean it's strictly a CorvetteForum issue and that there is no malware on your machine. It's not that simple.

I'm getting the "You might enjoy reading" crap on the right 1/3 of the page and it's annoying as hell. Web browser is Firefox.
This started 5/11/14.
So I'm wondering. Is the Forum owner(s) being paid by these advertisers or is this programmed in during browser updates?
UPDATE from my 7:02PM post:
I downloaded Google Chrome and issue is resolved plus browser speed is back as a bonus.
UPDATE 5/12/14 0700
The damn "You might enjoy reading" has infiltrated my Google Chrome browser as well (but on a smaller scale)
Will deal with it.
