Did the Ads Recently Change on this Site (New Pop Ups)

[MGibster]

Earlier this morning when I logged onto thhe I would see ads on my screen which is compeltely fine. I have no problems with advertising because you gotta pay the rent. But this evening, I'm getting pop up ads on the site. When I open the site I get pop ups, when I click on a new thread I get pop ups, when I go anywhere on this site I get pop ups. This isn't happening on other websites, so is this a new feature here?

I'm using Chrome, and even after an update these pop ups here persist.

I was close to pointing this out myself. I finally broke down and installed an adblocker because of it. I'm getting anywhere from 2 to 4 ads blocked every time I load a page here. Isn't happening anywhere else.

I am very frustrated with it as well and was just emptying my history etc.

Would love to know what is happening.

I am using a smart phone…

In the middle of replacing the ad platform, lots of settings to configure. It’s only been a few minutes, don’t panic!

That said you might have to put up with some mess for a few days as it’s a non-trivial task.

That’s all I need to hear. Standing by!

Thank you for the update. This is a fine upstanding website, the kind you take home to mother, so I figured it must be a temporary problem.

Oh good, it isn’t just me!

It might be worthwhile to pin up some sort of comment about this on the most frequented forums to let people know it will be addressed. It is at that obnoxiously pervasive level that tends to frustrate people.

I just had the same reaction upon reading this thread.
