Rollover ads on the side

I'm not having any of that. Sure I can avoid the ones up top by using the quick links. I'm just too stubborn to adapt to new things considering it took me forever to adapt to the rollover links.

But now I can't even use my browsers scroll bar without having a giant obtrusive Troy-Built ad blocking absolutely everything. And I can't even get rid of it by mousing off the ad, I have to find a stupid close box that the creators of the ad love to hide or make damn hard to find.

And what member is actually going online to look for ads for a tractor?

Why is that always the answer. If I never look at the ads or click them, how is NS supposed to benefit from having them on the site? I'm ok with ads, just not ones that take up my entire screen when I don't want them to.

From what I know, those pop-ups should not be happening on the site. If theyre happening only on NS i'd reccomend pm'ing Jim or Doug about it. but the temp fix would be adblock until the ads start to decrease. But i mean, the site needs money to run so they cant really help all the on site ads.

ABP.. No ads whatsoever, much more enjoyable than the browsing the site with all the ads. Plus I can post a lot faster without waiting for everything to load.

click on the add or not, Im pretty sure the site is still generating money by the number of clicks.
Im not 100% sure though.
