I got one image into this article and tried to block the "Like us on Facebook" element. While I was doing that, a full-screen nag popped up and, upon being blocked, I discovered that scrolling was now permanently broken.

Refreshing the page works, but scrolling breaks again when, presumably, this popup tries to come back.

sigh

This is normal now, isn't it? Does this kind of crap really generate quality leads? I don't understand why it's so pervasive.

The simple solution on Firefox was to simply click on the 'like' popup "X" button which resulted in no popups for the rest of the session. Also, most of the images were not of what would be called 'tree houses' since they were not in trees but just in the context of trees.
