I log onto BBO, go to first table available. Play a few hands and everything is working. Then i get a pop up ad that goes down the middle of your playing screen. Can not bid because the ad is blocking the bidding box. And i can not figure out how to close the pop up. seems to be no close button. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

Our ads don't pop up in the middle of the screen, they're in fixed places on the side. If an ad is covering up part of the bidding or playing area, it's probably coming from malware. Do an anti-virus scan of your computer to fix it.

Other people have been reporting a similar problem, we think one of our advertisers is doing this, but it's hard for us to figure out which one. If you're still having the problem write to support@bridgebase.com and they'll take care of it for you.

I have friends who have tried to play on BBO, are plagued by adds and have given up trying. This was happening months ago.
I don't have and have never had a problem with adds when playing.

I have started to get a partial box, not the full box/advert when I sign in and I can't close it. This happens on the IPAD and I can get around it by closing the BBO session and signing on again,
no pop up.
