Okay, I\'m not sure if this goes under bugs or Wiki Talk, so it\'s been posted to both. Anyway, my problem has more to do about some ads on the new TV tropes. It seems Tv Tropes has possibly added full-page ads that pop up along with its regular ones on the sidebars. Unfortunate, whenever I get a full-page ad, I either cannot go back, or when I try to go back using the back button, another full-page ad pops up in its place shortly after. The only thing that seems to rectify this is completely closing my web browser. It doesn\'t happen on any other sites or the old TV tropes, so I think that\'s why maybe a problem with the new site. Also, I ran full virus checks recently, so it has nothing to do with my computer. I\'m using Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8.1. I also have a pop-up blocker that will enable itself if I accidentally click on a non-full-page ad, but does not seem to activate if a full-page ad appears. Can someone fix this problem? Perhaps add an option to skip the ads? It is very annoying...

These ads have been reported in the pinned thread in the Wiki Tech Wish List.
