I have a Pop-up blocker and I STILL get those damn Amex and Marriott things interfering with my viewing of Fodor's posts. What's up with that? I have every McAfee service known to mankind on my computer as well as several pop-up blockers and they still show up.l Help!

Ever since installing Symentec firewall (plus the virus protection), I NEVER get pop-ups.

I hate the Marriott ad, also, as it blocks posts. I do see the Amex ad, but it doesn't bother me because it isn't animated. At least not the one I see right now. I think the only ad on Fodors I've disliked is the Marriott one. I generally don't care about any of the ads when they just stay still.

Im with you, Christina. I understand why there are ads, but when they cover the posts, that seems out of hand.

The Amex ad I'm referring to is not the traditional popup type unless it is a popup as I am not computer literate. There are two Amex ads, but the one I'm getting is the one of an aqua colored louvered window that is animated with the window opening and closing. I don't know if anyone but me is seeing this ad. It's on the right of the screen as the other Amex ad.

francophile, I get the same Amex ad.

Just another good reason to stay with Visa.

Hehe, well, okay that's another reason to go with Visa, yes. I am ready to shout 'Keep the stupid louver closed!' But it's Fodor's decision. I'll try to ignore it in the meantime.

Yes, please keep the louvred window shut!!!
Marriott rewards program I'll take cuz I've earned it but never asked for it to cover my screen/posts continously.

Don't know what's up, as I'm with St Cirq. I have everything I possible need to avoid these situations.

Guess I'll check out platzman's technology.

I have bookmarked and open directly to this.

I see no Mariot ads.

What am I doing differently?
