Interesting thing happened today. I now have an ad tab on the side of my browser that is from this site because it comes up only on the forums. I sat watching this for almost a minute waiting for it to load. 
Finally the page loaded and I was looking at this. 
And this is what happens when you click on it. If you click on the x in the top right it goes back to the little tab like in the second picture. 
I don't know if anyone else is getting this ad but it is extremely irritating simply because it places itself over the page. I don't mind ads as long as they are out of my way or all in one place (such as the bar of them on the right) but an ad that pops up on top of the page with no way to close it is ridiculous.

Okay how the hell did you get it to go away? It's like having a floater on your eye that's always in your peripheral vision!

I got the Tweet icon and killed that, but I don't see whatever it is that Dirt Cheap is talking about (thankfully). |

I am getting it too. This one has to go Sal because it is right on top of the browsing window, hovering over the left edge of posts.
and of course while I was posting this

A tweet is a message sent out on Twitter as far as I know... |

It's really bullsh*t that the tap is there, being annoying as hell, and can't be used unless you have an account with Twitter. There should at least be a way to close it, if only temporarily.
*EDIT*: This is pissing a lot of people off. Even those who pay Sal for the privilege of not having to see advertisements, are getting tweets.

Covers the screen where some of the post is to the point you HAVE to scroll to read... 
PLUS, it resets the screen to display itself... |
