  OK, these are a serious irritation, and a sad money grubbing attempt be the people behind WGT, MLB, and several other play-sites

  I'm talking about the ads that suddenly appear in the right lower corner of the screen, usually starting when you are making a swing, and distracting the outcome.  I've quit the MLB site and 2 other associated sites today because of this.  I will quit this site if ONE MORE of these popup ads screws me up!

  You marketing people behind WGT and MLB are  rapidly killing the golden goose.  We play this site competitively because we like it, but these popup ads destroy concentration.

  Why?  Are you guys THAT greedy (stupid question).  Keep it up & you'll see regular players drop like stones.  STOP IT, because I'm only affected negatively by any/all of them.  If I have to, I'll contact the offending companies myself to let them know.

  Rant over!

  That sounds like a virus or malware.  It also sounds like you need AdBlock. Can't tell you the last time I saw an ad anywhere. :-)

  Good for you. In the future if an ad happens to get through the AdBlock filters, right click on the ad and AdBlock will walk you through the process to filter it. :-)
