Thread: More and larger pop-up ads than usual?

Has anyone else felt that there seem to be more ads popping up on the forum pages than previously?

I’m getting ads in between forum posts and I don’t recall that happening before. And, I’m getting larger ads on the page than I remember from the past.

I’m using Safari on an iPad mostly. Is there a setting I should be changing?

I get ads if I am on my cell or if I use chrome, no ads with firefox though.

Yea, I was getting the same but installed a free extension to block ads. No more problem.

This has been an issue for a couple weeks now. The Mentors have brought it up with the higher-ups but no reply yet. Something has changed and its not a good change. Its possible that this has happened to pay for the costs of keeping SRP running as its not free.

If your having issues please post up so everyone knows what's happening.

I installed AdBlockerPlus and took care of it. But it is a full Browser and there are plenty of other options to control Ads.

On my cellphone today, I also have a wandering ad that slides around and blocks some of the information as I try to read a post, then it stops at the top of the post and I have to slide the post out from under it. If I bump the ad, it dumps me out of the forum.
Seems like I don't need a vacuum cleaner, this sux bad enough.

Yep. Ads on my tablet are larger and more frequent and its driving me nuts. Will look into an ad blocker as suggested. Thanks for bringing up this issue.

I got an ad blocker too. It was starting to effect the readability and enjoy ability of the forum.
