    Hidden Ads?

    Well, lots of times when I am browsing sythe, I start hearing talking ads, but I can never find them and they are super annoying...

    Exactly how many ads are on sythe? oh and I KNOW it is sythe, when I click out of the tab or change the sythe page they stop.

    I've actually never had this happen to me. Has this been happening pretty recently?

    Just right click on your browers and look for any other windows open.
    They are pop ups they don't actually pop up just stay minimized.

    Actually I've gotten that before too. It's kind of funny. But I would be VERY surprised if it was intentional.

    If you are using chrome, download the addon AdBlock.
    It get rids of any ads, even those that loads when you try to watch a youtube video.

    I've never had this, but I'm fairly new, would be interesting to see how many hidden ads there are here.

    That's extremely weird - it's never happened to me. I suggest you use an adblock extension to get rid of the ads, though, pop-up/hidden ads shouldn't be there.

    I'm pretty sure the only ads are the links @ the bottom, the banner space(s) at the bottom, and the two at the top.

    Ads with sound come up here and there, but hidden ads with sound come up a lot for me. Bit annoying having to mute my speakers until I close the page.

    Hidden Ads?

    Sometimes the flash ads on sythe can cause that to happen - make sure to report the ad to adbrite because it's effectively malicious
