I am having difficulty reading the forums due to repeated huge pop up ads for other phones. No blackberry ads to be found.

I guess the advertisers must view crackberry readers as easy pickings as a target market and you can't fault crackberry for their desire to make a buck. But it is sad indeed.

So I am the only one seeing the huge Holiday gift guide from "Phone arena" repeatedly at the top of the page? Hmm. let me try private browsing. Nope. Still there.

I don't actually see any ads except for the CrackBerry Store.

Are the ads related to whether you are logged in or not?

Sooo, the experience would be less distracting if they were BlackBerry ads.

I'm pretty sure ads are based on what you search.... especially if they are from Google adsense

It does. At least it isn't making my screen bounce up and down because the dang thing would just pop down on its own. That was a headache!

I actually only see blackberry ads on crackberry, including BES 10 ads. Must be as others said, related to your search queries.

I don't have any either. I didn't even know there were ads.

I have never seen popup ads on the CB site. I see the ads in their normal place settings though (I whitelist all Mobile Nations sites to get through my ad block extension).

I take that back a bit... I did see pop ups at one time, but that was due to inadvertantly allowing an extension to utilize SuperFish.
