This is your solution.
I am running Firefox 6.0.2 on my Mac... I'm sure the Windows version functions similarly.
Just get a couple of free add-ons: Adblock Plus and Addblock Plus Pop-up. Set the preferences to use the included EasyList and you'll never see any of those annoying advertisements.

I have the problem also and mine does not pop up the ads. I think its the server for this site but I dont know much about computers... A friend of mine was complaining to me about it yesterday. I clean the disk on my computer and erase cookies every couple of days to keep it running optimally but I have noticed its been quite a bit slower the last few weeks or so. smokindave, we all know your eyelashes are something you put a lot of thought and care into!

I agree it is the slowest site to load of any web sites I use.
Lots of times I have to reload a page for it to work. I do just leave the site a lot because it locks up trying to load.

Not counting the “New Vendors” list I counted 15 advertisements on this one page alone.
I’m not paying for this site either.
I know I can filter out some things with my computer, but this is the only web site I have trouble with speed on.

As far as the “Eye Lash” advertisement (it’s not on mine), some of the ads are based on what your surfing the web. Out of curiosity I checked out the Victory site earlier this summer and I immediately had Victory ads on here. So I have to ask, have you been checking out eye lash sites? lol

"So I have to ask, have you been checking out eye lash sites? lol".......The only hair I look at is further down the body (on females that is).

Anybody else in your house use your computer?
It really doesn't matter, it's just an observation I've had.

Hey guys, thanks for the Adblocker tip. I would have never imagined there was something like that out there. The internet might be tolerable once again.
