Re: Ads

I'm getting a bunch of ads when viewing the forum, along with the occasional full-page pop-up ad. Is this supposed to be happening? If there were ads before, I didn't notice them, but there definitely was not pop ups before. It's noticeably slowing the forum down.

Ads have always been here for last 23 months or so

I’m also getting a lot more ads in the last few weeks. I normally only access the internet on my iPhone and this site is glitching a lot lately. Is it possible to go with an ad free host. If you let us know maybe we all could chip in a small amount to cover a better host.

Yeah, I'd chip in. The pop up ads and ads at the bottom of the screen (viewing on phone) are definitely new to me and annoying. Mostly because it makes it slow and glitchy. Just typing this post, there was a few glitches and my keyboard had a very slow reaction for most of it. I've had no issues on other forums, so I don't believe the issue is on my end.

Is this a result of malware on the phone or computer? Oddly enough the ads here disappeared for me some months ago and I thought they were no longer appearing. Maybe it is something associated with the Firefox browser I use on my desktop which is how I access the site not through the phone. i also would be willing to chip in for an ad free site however if others are being bothered by it. There was one very annoying popup that appeared on the left side about midway down the Home page because it obscured content but I haven't seen it in months whether logged in or not.
