Welcome to Gaia's forums, where millions of members gather to discuss random stuff, make new friends,
complain about life, argue about nothing, laugh at dumb pictures, discuss serious issues and/or curse like sailors.

Lurking is creepy. Quit skulking in the shadows and join the conversation!

I don't have a screencap or anything, but this is what I know.

Ad: A Build a Bear Workshop Ad.
Reason for reporting: It came over the "Click here to return to your inbox" link.
Time of occurrence: 5:44 P.M. Central Time Zone

That's about it, it'll probably come again, i'll get a screencap next time.

Browser: Firefox 3.0.15
Date / Time (and your timezone): 11/30/09, 1:34 EST
Reason for reporting: The ad covers the return to inbox and next private message links when reading, or deleting, PMs. I just encounter this often, and it's a nuisance.

Reason for reporting: The ad pops up a new window asking to take a survey. I closed the tab with my posts which had a different ad there. I wasn't paying attention to what it was. It then popped up the survey window, which also made my internet security program go bonkers trying to block "threats".

There is a wallmart ad from videoegg.com that pops up, there is no way to stop it or block it, I have been unable to copy the links or inspection logs. The only link I have been able to get is videoegg.com/christmasatwallmart. There is a Telus ad that does the same thing.

Sounds like a phishing scam to me.
     
Gay rights are about love. Let us therefore show love to each other.

Tolerance, Respect, & Love, Say no to Intolerance and hate.

Gays, men and women, can fall in love just the same as straights.
Love knows no gender.
I got a pop-up ad yesterday or the day before that asked for you to enter your Gaia username and password. : It was formatted to look like a windows notification. I wish I had thought to get a screen cap of it. If it happens again I'll be sure to record more info.

The add for the Harry Potter and the half blood prince on dvd is a flash player thing and it covers up anything on the page. when i try to change my outfit the ad is on the right side of my items inventory and when i go to put on an item with more than 1 pose the stupid harry potter ad covers it and i cant' put it on.

Please move the ads on the dress up screen to a flat bar on the very bottom of the page please.

here is my problem (every single load seems to be this ad too)
