AW,
I understand a lot of people are complaining about the casino ads and quite frankly I've
been sitting here reading the posts but never felt like it was an issue to me until tonight. When I came here tonight I got the Casino ad like usual, and closed the box. BUT!! When I closed the box this time it sent several more pop-ups flying all over my screen, all that along with a message box that forced me to say yes or no to a question..would you like to blah blah blah. Beware people, AW just raised the bar...you might as well deal with the pop-up in your taskbar, because if you try and close it, AW just rams 3-4 more pop-ups down your throat...what makes me more mad than anything is the stupid question box forcing to answer a question, thus stopping you from working or you cannot go on. AW this is WRONG!!

This is one I have to agree with, the ads are intrusive and obnoxious. We are trying to work here! How would you like to have someone come in screaming advertisements when you are try to concentrate? PLEASE rethink this policy. Aren't we paying you enough? Besides, I don't agree with Casinos in the first place, you are offending my right to avoid such areas by shoving it in my face.

I agree pop up ads have gone to far. I can deal with the ads on top but the pop up ads are an insult. I can understand you need to make money but you crossed the line AW. I am begining to wonder if you are selling our mailing lists as well.
Thank you for your feedback. If you have any more comments regarding the ads, please post them in the Feedback forum as the Auction Manager and Auction Manager Pro forums are meant for troubleshooting service related problems.
Keeping the ads minimized in your taskbar should help keep them from popping up while navigating through the site.

Very intrusive advertisement. I too had to close several windows to proceed. I realize AW needs the advertising money but the casino ad was over the line.
