Annoying pop-up ads
Widgets are not a good idea when pop up ads block the game so that you can't play. Is there a way to stop this or do I just have to delete the entire widget and forget about it? I understand that you need advertising, but this defeats the whole purpose anyway.
I’m frustrated and irritated

FlyMom,
I'm not sure what pop-up ads you're referring to, as we don't do any pop-ups. We do overlay ads on a very small portion of widgets that display for a few seconds and then hide on load. There is no way to disable these.
If you're seeing pop-up ads, it may be something put there by the developer, in which case you'd have no control either.

Inappropriate?Okay, so they are called overlay ads, not pop-ups. wrong terminology but they don't go away on load. They cover my game while I am already playing and they stay there and I can't play any more and lose the game.
I’m feeling better because I got an answer, and learned a new term, but still upset that I can't play my game

Inappropriate?The ads will overlay on load of the page and dissappear in 3-5 seconds unless you mouse over the ad. After that, it won't return unless you click the tab to re-open the ad. If there's a specific game that this prevents you from playing, just let me know. Of the few widgets that ads are currently running on, all functionality is not affected by the ad as far as I know.
The difference in terminology is important here as, since no widget was referenced in your complaint, I have to infer what problem you're actually seeing.

Inappropriate?Thanks. This answers the question. The widget is the "Bubbles game" on my cafemom homepage. The ad covers the whole widget and doesn't go away no matter how long I wait. Yesterday when I opened it later there was no ad and I played a couple games. Today the ad is back. I tried waiting hours - to give the page time to load - and I tried taking the cursor completely off of the page. Still there.

Inappropriate?Hey Flymom,
Would you mind letting me know what browser and OS you're using? I'd love to be able to track this issue down, as the described behavior is not intended.
