The lynx advert on ATS, it's back again

Everytime my mouse cusor moves over the damned thing it opens in a new window and it is really irksome to keep having to close it. It should be disallowed, I feel my mind has been violated in an unspeakable manner that such only the Gods of Chaos can know. If this is the future of online marketing than I shall scream and scream at the blasted cosmos.

Can you get me a screen shot please?

Complain here: www.abovetopsecret.com... Odds are something might be done about it other than you feeling better for having vented.

Sorry I see that Mod is on it, fades quietly away...........................

Here is the screen shot.

I do the same thing all the time.

I get all freaked out when I start hearing the advertisement playing out of nowhere. I quickly pause it and then either cuss it or call on the Lord.

I always have the mute button turned on when I use the internet.

Could it be your Browser is allowing nasty scum to latch on?
I had a problem not long ago with pop ups just overruling the ATS page.
I mentioned it to other members only to find out that it was my own browser(I had switched to a new
browser and this did not occur before). My Ignorance/Idiotness.

At any rate, just click on them all and buy some crap with a credit card number
from China that you can get for free on TOR and all the pain will go away.

How the hell do you do a screen shot anyway?
Do you have to have a browser plugin or what?
Seriously, I would really like to know.

I don't think this question derails the thread.
So, I'm all ears.

It seems rather ironic that although ATS doesnt like its users to use an Adblock extension, they're ok with creating a advertising bloated site which forces and drives people to do exactly that.

Tried to send you a U2U, but accidentally sent a blank.

Anyway... to do a screenshot, there should be a button toward the upper right corner of your keyboard marked "print" or "PrtScrn". Just hit that and it will copy whatever is on your screen.

Open a graphic program like Paint, GIMP or whatever you use and do edit-->paste. Save it as an image file.

I used the sniping tool on windows.
