Pop-up ads: Feedback needed!

I've had at least 1 today. I didn't notice it until I scrolled up to the top of the page (had gone to first unread post and needed to see something from before) when I got to the top of the page the add was waiting for me up there.

Edit: I am thinking people seeing it on the mobile device may have their user agent set to a non-mobile version perhaps?
 
  1. Welcome ads should NEVER show to mobile users
Still got 1 on mobile. Didn't test further - too frustrating to navigate around.

Edit: Just read yeahha's post above. Yes, my user agent is set to non mobile.
 
For those seeing the ads OFTEN: do you have cookies enabled? If you don't have cookies enabled, we have no way of realizing you've seen the ad already and shouldn't see it again for X timeframe. Please enable cookies and/or report back.

For those seeing on mobile: device? OS version? rooted? cookies on?

Toshiba Thrive running stock 3.2.1. Browser is the latest Dolphin for pad in desktop mode and cookies on.

As I noted earlier, things were fine until around 11 am eastern today when the popups came back with a vengeance.
 
Haven't seen it on mobile version yet, skin, I always have had mobile view enabled. Before when I was viewing the full html site I did have cookies enabled and still had the ad pop up almost every time. Had to choose mobile view / skin at the bottom of the site to get it to change to the mobile view.
 
seeing it on every page. not a pleasure to browse that's for sure.

and yes cookies are enabled.
 
Can't make a move without a pop up getting in the way and I only get a white box with no actual add. Optimus "V" with ARM6 processor
Edit: Everything seems fine now, I know these popups are necessary, at least now there not a total annoyance.
