Is it just me or what? Did I miss an announcement? Better yet, how to rid myself of it?!

Or, I suppose it could be spyware, malicious adware, etc.

Please help!

Click the little X? When I closed it, it said "ok, I'm going away forever now, bye" I think it's a feature of the bulletin board.

It doesn't. Looks like some crazy hacker thing. Seek cover.

I'm not comfortable with popup ad's, If WW needs ad's? I would feel more comfortable with the traditional Ad Banner up the top of the screen? (Fairwheel Bikes, Not Fitness Singles and the like). Bike related ad's appear more appropriate.
I love that WW is'nt filled with ad's all over its pages like some other website (including certain bike sites). :D

Just my 2c worth

The adds are different to every user. It depends on what you are looking on, on your computer, Mr. Fitness singles. Haha
