WTF with all these popups???

[Fire_Monkey]

Newbie here......Is there a way to stop these popups? I only get them here. I even installed a new blocker after joining here, but it doesn't work on RF. Tell me you guys really don't live with these constant popups? I've never seen so many, they even block the writing space when ya try to post. I don't think I could deal with them.

Thanks in advance!

It's worse on my phone. It blocks the whole screen. On my lap top, the pop ups either interfere or the screen jumps up to show the "upgrade" screen. It wasn't like this before. If you can find a way to find another pop up blocker, I hear people say that works.

uBlock Origin is better.

Those pop ups can scare new comers away from this forum.

it's coercion... this site has gone for the money
you can live with the popups or pay to have them gone

clicking an ad drops pocket change to the site owners
or you can pay to not see the ads

try clicking some ads for women's wear.
you start getting ads of a more 'suggestive' view

ooooh la la

just what we need on a religious forum!!!!!!!

If you can give us a screenshot and/or ad url of the offenders we can block them.

FYI, I browse the site the same way any non supporter does. I do not run into pop up issues.

We don't run pop up ads. The probably cause for pop ups is 1) an advertiser is breaking the ToS for our ad provider which is AdThrive | Ad Optimization just for bloggers 2) malware on the users computer.

In the case of number 1, we can alert Ad Thrive and they will block it. They usually respond in less than 24 hours to block requests.

That isn't a pop up. What browser/device/resolution is it an issue for you?

it covers the command for post
it must be removed to use the post command

I understand it does for you which is why I asked what you are using to browse. It does not affect me on my 13" Latptop.

I've never had an ad pop up, is it only for non-premium members?

Thanks! I'm learning a couple of things here myself.

It's my understanding that no ads is one of the perks of being a premium member.
