Really struggling on here these days

[townfanjon]

Sorry, @Dan , @Shaun, what’s altered over the last couple of weeks , bloody adverts united , forums so hard work .

 

[moonlight]

There seems to be far more adverts than there used to be.

 

[townfanjon]

The odd one or two ok , but they come from all over the screen now , just seems worse the last fortnight

I’m sure adverts play a part, as I sometimes have to refresh my page as it loads incorrectly. Sometimes I accidentally click an advert as the page hasn’t finished loading.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Any examples as im on ios and running an add blocker and these are the only ones I have / see ?

 

[townfanjon]

I looked in to addblockers and since then its been worse , only ones I could find are the ones you pay for , whos do you use @Shaun ?
I am ios

I suspect that's the idea.

Just put this on , the main PITA pop up has gone for the moment , curser still flips about and page jumps .

Wading through the adverts is the price site users pay to use the site. Unfortunately the site owners have increased the price the users of the site pay to the extent that the price in terms of number and density of adverts to wade through is (imo) no longer worth it.

Pop up ad is the worst thing, when you open pages it freezes then the pop up ad can’t do anything till you turn it off. I can understand the ads but there are too many.

Other than the static ads in the right hand column I really dont get anything else and Im running Adblock on Chrome on PC and Mac. Dont know about mobiles tbh but If youre proficient you could try installing Pie hole on your network.

Pi-hole – Network-wide Ad Blocking

[townfanjon]

A minute ago , plus the right hand side adverts

The adblock didnt work for your ipad then, if you use Safari it has a popup blocker I think.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Did you enable it in the browser menu in settings ?

 

[gmartine]

Preferences...

Allow or block pop-ups in Safari on Mac

In Safari on your Mac, block pop-up windows from websites.

support.apple.com

Yes , but no difference
