ar dot voicefive dot com keeps trying to do pop ups in the forums. Don't know more because my browser blocks them. Just an fyi.
Pop up surveys are one of the only such ads permitted on the site.
You may occasionally see these, but they shouldn't happen on a regular basis.
Next time a voicefive URL pops up, I'll let them through and chat with them.
I would not recommend letting them through. This is not one of the pop up surveys that Matt refers to. I just did some Google research on this and it seems to be malware that takes over your computer if you allow it. It's good that you have a pop up blocker. Leave these things blocked!
How do I block them? There are two full length movies playing at the bottom of my screen right now! So irritating. I thought I was hearing voices. I believe I unblocked them recently when I updated something. Ugh!
I've got one of those videos trying to break through right now.
It breaks in; browser shuts it down; it breaks in again; browser shuts it down again; ad infinitum.
Ads should not be auto-play videos, especially with sound. Capture a screen image and report them to HubPages.
Thanks! Doing a search for "ar.voicefive.com" does indeed show extremely grim results. Too much risk; me thinks I will indeed pass.

Very weird, but for the last few days the option to go back a page no longer works if I am currently on a forum and trying to leave it to return to a non-forum page I visited previously. In fact the best I seem to be able to achieve is to go back to the first page I entered the forum on, but not to...

I have been posting comments in the forums, and for some reason, when I try to reply to a post, it jumps to another window, or will not allow me to reply to another hubber's comment. I also tried to edit a post, and it did the same thing. When I finished the edit, I received a red message saying...

I know there is a rule about "self promotion in the forums."I just want to clarify what it means. Does it mean there is a blanket ban on all links in our own posts that link to any hub we've written or site or article we own?ORAre we allowed to post our own hub links if relevant to the...

For the past week I've been getting Pop-ups on various hubs (mine and others) saying I've been selected to get a $1000 Amazon Gift Card. One of my readers posted a comment complaining about this, so I know it's not just me. I'm sending screen images to the team. Has anyone else been getting these...

Do you think the hubpages forums are useful or pointless?Do you feel that the hubpages forums are useful or do you think that they are merely loaded down with pointless and uninformative arguements that add nothing of value to the hubpages experience?
