I've been availing myself of the benefits of this forum for about a year now, and I've enjoyed it and benefited from advise, and interaction with other Harley riders/owners. Even got some good deals on various mods from time to time. However, lately the plethora of 'ads' (not necessarily pop-ups), and those stupid little video clips that run on top of every thread are making the browsing experience on this forum unbearable. Response times are in the toilet, scrolling is a halting/jumpy pain in the ***. Unpredictable anomalies prevail just trying to do simple tasks (changing pages, searches, etc.) I've been 'doing' computers for over 35 years and I know what the experience should look like. I'm running a two year old desktop with Win 7, an Intel Quad-Core i7-2600 - 3.8GHz chip, and 32GB of DDR3 Memory. A hot graphics card, plenty of cache and about 50mbps DSL service, so I don't need any bashing by some 'moderator' about my equipment.
I know these forums have to generate revenue in order to survive, but someone needs to recognize when enough is enough.
I'll get off my soap box now and hope someone with some juice reads this, thanks for listening......

Pop Ups
All of a sudden, I'm getting pop up ads on my cell phone when I go on the forum??? I was on a couple of hours ago and it was fine?? I get them at the top and on the bottom of my screen.

Probably not the best section to post this in but I don't like the mobile version and always use the full site view on my tablet.

Just a thought but if you take the time to look at threads below this one, you'll find that others have experienced the same issues that you are experiencing and what they've done to possibly correct the problem. So no, you've not alone.
