The 1k shopping spree bubble will not go away, takes up have my screen and the X seems to move from top to bottom if it appears on bubble at all. Now I can see anything I'm typing because the bubble takes up the middle have of me screen!

That level of obnoxious intrusiveness is the primary reason people started running Ad Blockers in the first place.
I use adblocker and haven't seen the new bubble. Also a supporting member. $24 a year gets you mostly ad free ECF. Doesn't work with the contest junk unfortunately.
Pop up ads are NEVER. EVER acceptable. In addition to ads, pop ups are the NUMBER ONE source for malware. Since you have to click something to close it, a programmer can program that button as "I accept this download" and you browser will accept that as confirmation and then you are infected. The only safe way to close a suspicious pop up is using Alt+F4 to close the whole browser. For these reasons, I have been known to boycott sites and companies that employ that tactic for advertising.
Even if not infected with malware (I don't think ECF is) pop us are still like having a 5 yr old jumping up in your face screaming "HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY", not only is it rude it just pisses me off. It definitely will NEVER get me to buy the selected product, if anything I would go out of my way to buy a competitor product that I didn't see an ad for.
I tried to cancel the banner and it opened up across the screen. No 'x' s anywhere to be found so i had to refresh the page. Seriously flawed and very, very annoying. I don't even know what it was for !
If you are using your phone, turn the phone landscape(sideways) to get a bigger screen. Then you will see the 'x' and the very right side of the bubble(inside the bubble itself). I totally agree its so annoying.
I found the X its very fine in the upper right corner... hover on the add and look hard for the super thin X.. and click it
thanks, couldnt see it when it was in lower right corner but now that it moved to lower left u can see it. still frigging annoying
It's kind of complicated, I think. You need to click on it in just the right place, (the far right end) and well, hover over it, an X should appear, and if you click directly on that X, it will go away for awhile, and not ask you for any input or to add entries, or money, or if it looks fat in those pants.
We women know how to do that by instinct, but you're going to have to hover around over it until the magic X appears, and click on it almost instantaneously and it SHOULD go away. If not, you aren't doing it right and you need to get married so you can practice.

I just tried Logging Out, Clearing Caches/Cookies, and the Logging back in. Now it in the L/H Lower Corner.
This is Worse. Cause Now I Can't even see who is Posting without doing some Scroll Wheel Gymnastics.
There is Now a Faint "X" in the Upper R/H Corner of the Pop-Up.
I clicked it and it appears to have removed things.
Yeah... I don't think the "X" was there when the Pop-Up was on the R/H Side.
BTW - Kudos to the Code Writers for getting a Resolution (even if it is just a Session Resolution) done so Quickly.
I think Ublock ad blocker can block them. Will try that. Noscript can block most of them if Ublock doesn't do it will try that.
