GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

So what's with the full screen ads? It grays out everything requiring a click to close. Any way to be rid of this kinda thing? It's pretty annoying.

Don't see any such thing on my end! Can you take a screenshot and show us exactly what you see? Everything is fine on my system. You got my curiosity now

I get them too. Not always, perhaps only early in a visit. Seems to have started recently, although I can't say a specific date. They can be a slight annoyance, but maybe they pay more than the inline ads, and if that's what it takes to keep the site profitable enough to keep it online, then its worth it.

From this morning, not recommending these vendors, if anything avoid them for sponsoring annoying ads

I don't have any empirical evidence, more just a feeling, but perhaps I get them more often when I visit genvibe when not logged in.
Edit - no, logged in doesn't seem to matter

Thanks Joatman, yes, that's what I'm seeing.

I dont see any, but I'm also ad-block plus on Firefox.

Yep, that's likely why you don't see them. I cannot run an add blocker at work.

Same here. I have an adblocker and that is likely why I don't see them.
