"TMP sidebar ads that vanish" Topic

OK, I accept the need for TMP to run ads across its pages -- but why must these vanish when navigating around the site? For instance, I was looking at one discussion topic tonight, a "Featured" link on the left side of the screen caught my eye, I thought, "Hmmm! Looks nice, I'll click on that picture in a moment and see what this piece of terrain costs and who sells it". Then I finish my post and after it's submitted, the page refreshes and that link is GONE! I have no way to navigate back a page to see it (every change of page changes those featured links). There is something very wrong about this set up. How are we supposed to look at things if they can be taken away while completing another task on that page?

I lost a chance to buy a good-looking multi-story Middle Eastern arched portico building and someone making it lost a possible sale.

Good point. I'm working on the other problems right now, but I'll keep that in mind.

I think it's tied in with the blue [?] box.

Nothing to do with blue boxes, that seems to be an Apple Safari-specific problem. Probably the new Safari version is overly sensitive and imagines security problems where none exist.

I agree, I've missed a few sidebar pop-ups. I don't think it is an easy fix though.

You just have to open the links first if they are of interest to you. You can read all three featured links without them getting shuffled.

I'm in the world of blue boxes now as well. Gotta say that it really makes TMP much less desirable as a platform to use. Without correction in the not too distant future I see me spending less and less time here.
