Sometimes the whole screen turns gray then sort of refreshes itself. Not sure why I got the below pageView attachment 3695694View attachment 3695695View attachment 3695695

I see I'm not the only one getting smutty adds. Pretty bad. I report them as Add was inappropriate but the content does not improve.

Lately I been getting a drop up add on the bottom. It covers some of the page. Sometime just a a gray empty banner.

Ads here too. Bottom and middle.

It appears I’m only getting banners now: Top, bottom, and distributed throughout the threads.

Does anyone actually click on this crap?
What do you need to make this go away?

The site is almost unusable in this state of attack.

Still getting bottom floating up ads this morning...

I am a subscriber (I think) but am getting hammered with LLBean ads in middle of threads.

What is with this?

Just this morning, little banner ads popping up from bottom...

Yes, I see the red subscriber banner under your username.

 

[Bill Ashton]

And now banners are on top as well. What's going on?

Use an ad blocker. Personally I use uBlock Origin for Windows. And I don't feel guilty about blocking a website's source of income since I'm a paid subscriber and I also donate.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just added uBlock Origin for Firefox and so far have not had any pop ups or ads.

I just checked another website that uses the same software, and also buries me with ads if not signed in...perfect, no troubles, and I tried multiple threads and forums.

Its gotta be "us."

FWIW I have been clicking on the ads and searching the destination for items to buy. Maybe generate some $ for AK.

Plus, as a rule we now click on many things, search for many things and scroll over many things we have zero interest in. Trying to beat the algorithm machine at its own game. Lately flooded with jet ski ads and videos about Dewalt tools. Next will be K pop and jewelry. Just keeping them guessing. Takes up very little time and hopefully causes confusion for the bots.

This just came up

 

[Rex Everything]

Been getting the same as the others since yesterday.

Still getting ads this morning, 10:15am est.

Getting the grayed-out box at the bottom of the screen. Adblock is nuking the ads, but the box pops up on every screen refresh. Using Firefox, most current version (just updated). Removing cookies and restarting had no effect.
