Advertisements on AB.
29 Answers
It has now reached the stage whereby Adverts are Annoying me.
I can be scrolling through a thread and suddenly a full page Advert will appear. Also there are occasions when exiting AB I become confronted with another full screen advert.
Consequently, I suggest that attention is given to this matter.

if you're using Firefox, this one allegedly blocks pop-ups (I haven't got it)

Thanks jno.... I do use firefox with the pop-up advert blocker but I can't get it to work on AB. Perhaps AB has put a few cookies into my computer to make things awkward for me, because I am something of nuisance 'pop-up':-)
Anyway I am now about to pop-up to bed and will look in again tomorrow.

I think I have now had a full page of advertising the latest phenomena to hit my screen and which seems to have developed since, imo, the introduction of the somewhat superfluous 'share' button.
Nevertheless, I still regard AB as a super site (the best) and I wish to thank all who have responded in this instance.

Ron, we don't do pop ups or full screen adverts. You either have another tab open on a site which does, OR you have some malware on your computer forcing these pop-up.
Please update all your anti-virus/malware, scan, and let us know.
Also, if you could test AB in isolation of other sites we'd be grateful of your findings.

As the Ed has pointed out, Ron, there are no full-page pop-ups on this site. Your PC has got some malware on it.
Download, run and install the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to get rid of it:

G'morning Ed.
I have just finished a full scan with MSE and had a clear report.
Incidentally Chris, I have avoided Malwarebytes because, the moment I tried to download, a (WOT) message appeared to warn me ..."This site has a poor reputation".
Anyway, as nothing untoward has happened since my original posting, I propose monitoring matters.
Thanks ....Ron.
