I have recently had similar ads sliding in from the left side of the ETO screen, on Win 10 & Chrome.
Chrome has both Adblock & Adblock Plus installed, but the problem persists....

Same here; just selected it to be blocked in Adguard (plugin in Chrome) and it's gone, like all the previous ones.

Than you should see no pop-ups.

At the time the popups appear, are you logged in? Last I knew the ads were only shown to non-members (and those who are not logged in).

The pop-up has shown maybe 3 times for me, whilst logged in.

I'm always logged in. You can't get the screen shot posted earlier without being logged in.

I just realized that when I upgraded my browser, Adblock was re-enabled on this site. That may have been hiding them. I will disable Adblock on ETO once again and see if I start seeing the popups here.

Windows 10 and Chrome.

Just for the record, I find those popups to be on the same level of irritation as someone getting in my face and shouting at me. I make a note of whose advertisement it is, and make a point of never giving them any future business. So, the owners of this site and their advertisers may want to take that into account. I've got nothing against ads. Just put them down one side of the page where we can look at them or not. That's what sensible sites do.

It's incredibly anoying when you're replying to a post and it pops up and obscures your reply. Stupic idea.
