Having something that completely rejects the option to go through to the link I click on and stop dead at a banner ad on a blank page every time I click a link is completely another. It interferes with posting and simply viewing pages much of the time.

However, I must say, that using the tabbed browsing through Firefox does sometimes circumvent this problem. I have started to right click and click "Open new tab" on this site now. It cuts the interferance down by more than half usually.
Well, when you find things like this, you should really report it to Buck so he can take it up with the advertisement provider.
