What are these things called?

Whatever the technical term for them are, I wish they would go away. I find them obtrusive, especially if viewing CB with the darker theme... The blue links that trigger these beasties are almost illegible.
What say you all?

I dont get the popups because I avoid the link, but the blue type is horrible.
hate them.
Let me fix the color at least first. It's in test mode for now.
this color is better, thanks.
Ivan, I know that any avenue to produce revenue from CB is worth exploring. I wouldn't blame anyone for that, but these pop-ups gotta go.
They've turned browsing CB from an entertaining and engaging learning experience with our peers into navigating a virtual mine field. Trying to avoid being "hit" with another advertisement, which most of the time the ads have nothing to do with the triggering-link.
Just my 2 cents worth.

With all these pop-up bubbles appearing I feel like I'm trapped in a 1980's music video...

Thanks for the feedback guys. We will keep testing it for a while and after that we'll reconsider. Please bear with me until than!
We have implemented a change where logged in users will not see these links. We continue to experiment and see what works best. Hope this is less intrusive.
