Default Cadillac pop up advertisement

How many if you have a desire to run out and blow up the nearest Cadillac?

The Cadillac pop up ad on this forum drives my iPad and me crazy. It keeps popping up but is too high on the screen to hit the delete. Then I must back up to previous screen to re-enter the page I want to read. Hate to get bitchy, I know this pays the bills, but do we really need to see this thing 50 times when we are just trying to have a peaceful evening reading the forum? Just sayin'.

LOL LOL LOL LOL! Me too, happens only on my iPad, not on the PC. I used to like Caddy's, but that ad makes me hate them.

I found that if you tap anywhere that is not the ad it disappears.

On the iPad, if you rotate the iPad from vertical to horizontal, the ad recenters, so you can hit the X and kill it.

And I already own a Cadillac!

On my phone and iPad. Seems go be getting worse. I was on the forums using my phone this afternoon and i could not make a move without that add popping up. I finally gave up and closed out HD Forum. Yeah it pays the bills, but does the forum actually want to run people off?
