Default Excessive Ads!

What in the world is up with all these pop up ads?? I don't think they were ever this bad! As soon as I login, they start popping up all over.

If they are "pop up's" as in opening new windows, that's your PC. If ad's within the forum page itself, use a ad blocker, I use ad block plus, works great.

I wish that were the case and I do appreciate the suggestion but I don't get them anywhere else - only in this forum.

uBlock Origin or adblocker plus are your friend, I prefer the uBlock, less invasive and not as many nag screens when it doesn't like something.

It is a private company that is offering a free service... someone has to pay for it.

Your absolutely right and I do get that but it has intensified these past couple of weeks. It really does seem like what TwiZted Biker suggested - that it's my laptop but this is the only place I get 'em.

we don't allow pop-up ads, check your system for malware.
