Its only happening on Bodyshop, its a transparent ad that floats around the screen and it doesnt go away when you click the "X"?

This is a new experimental ad type running on BodyShop only. The ad should only show once every 12 hours and should automatically disappear after about 5 seconds. Clicking the corner "X" should also close it. If things are not working as described above, please provide browser type so I can investigate.

Yeah it comes up everytime I open Bodyshop and I am on several times a day, it also doesnt close when I click the "X". It chases my cursor around the screen, the only way to get rid of it is to "beat" it to a menu item and click on it, then it goes away...very annoying.

Sorry about that. I'm trying to find creative way to continue to keep BodyShop running free of charge. It's not easy. If you enjoy BodyShop (and the other JSF sites) please consider a membership upgrade.

I've removed the ad, you won't see it again.

My upgrade had expired? I will upgrade today. If you need to keep that ad up to keep Bodyshop free, by all means do it. Does it come up in Chrome or Firefox? I've been meaning to switch browsers but just havent done it. I'm getting a new laptop today, I will start using another browser on that today and switch over the home PC soon. Which browser do you recommend John?

I won't run ads that negatively impact the user experience (pop-ups, stuff like that). This new style of ad was sort of borderline, but I thought I'd give it a try. If it's creating issues for even one kind of browser, it's a "fail" in my book and so it's gone.

Which browser do you recommend John?
I use Firefox, and I love it. Chrome also has a loyal fan base.
