To clarify I don't have a problem with advertising. I do have a problem with pop ups that run over me when reading or posting! Sorry Expedia staff that my post created such negative reactivity on your part!

I agree that we have to accept advertising. However, I strongly dislike the ads that jump up and actually obscure the thing that I'm trying to read. That's going too far, IMHO.
I send Expedia a message about how much I disliked their roll-over ads on this site. I received a reply that basically said that they just wanted to inform me about exciting new offers from Expedia, blah, blah, blah. They also suggested that I could use a popup blocker from www.panicware.com. I tried installing the popup blocker and guess what? IT DOESNT STOP THE EXPEDIA ROLLOVERS!!
So far the only thing that has helped me is to use Netscape instead of Internet Explorer. I have yet to see the nasty Expedia rollover when I use Netscape.

Those ads are annoying for sure. Get the popup blocker from Ads Gone, it's the best. You can download it and install it right away and then they'll mail you a CD for use later on. www.adsgone.com I don't get the expedia ads at all, and didn't know what everybody was complaining about until I logged on at work...with no popup blocker...and AGH! What a pain. They have the right to advertise. We have the right to block 'em. Well worth the small investment! Trish
