Pita I know, but isn’t this where Dan said to use an advert pop up blocker? Check your browser settings, think you can also turn them off, however may affect other websites using pop ups.

If we all buy a website from them maybe they’ll go away.

Annoying that the problems haven`t been fixed as adverts have been blighting the forum for months.

You give your time for free pal , you shouldn’t have to pay.

Run an add blocker would be the best way

Disabling javascript seems to work well. Am testing it at the moment.

It’s hard to filter through all the ads to get to the member posts, makes it harder work than it should be

Sorry John. Was jokes. I was amazed that such a membership would be contemplated by the owners of the site. As you correctly observe, the contributors to this site are already writing best quality content for the business owner free of charge. To be battered with ads and then be asked to pay to make the ads go away is remarkable. Eventually the owners will suffer diminishing returns. Hopefully they will tone the ads down before it kills the site. Who knows
