| Yes, never mentioned it thought I had done something wrong.
A proper annoyance and the X that you can get rid of it is often off the screen and you have to go over the rigmarole again.
Have no idea where they come from.
Have often started a post and it vanishes and up pops a load of adverts.
Do not use sites that say do you accept their adds, and most do.
Wish someone could come up with an answer.
Not bothered about those at the top or bottom just those that fill the screen.
Regards. |

| how long has this been going on ........? the google adverts have been at the top of the page for quite a while, a few tears ago they added them and it cost £10 to remove them per year, which was fair enough...but a year or so the cost went up, and with the amount of activity on the forum i didnt think it was worth paying such a price increase ......now im guessing they have added more adverts to those forums who do not pay to remove advertising. ive asked on forum support whats happening, but i`m guessing its because i stopped paying to keep adverts off .....i dread to think how much they are wanting now . |

| been in touch withforum support .......
can members all say if they are getting adverts popping up whilst making a post, or whilst changing topics etc , or however they are showing them selves to you.
we have had the usual google adverts along the top of the chat for quite a while, which dont really bother anyone, but this new type of advert seems very different.
any help or info from members might help forum support to find out whats going on . |

| Mainly whilst changing topics David in my case but they just pop up anytime. Not bothered about those at top and bottom just I just ignore them.
Get McFee every two minutes saying not covered for virus protection when my ageement does not end until January and takes several attempts to get rid of it.
Annoying could do without.

| Pretty much same David, random ads even though I have pop ups blocked these are getting through constantly now. Been about a week now at a guess, doesn't stop anything loading just annoying having to shut them down all the time. Hosting site owner must have it set up somehow. |
