This is the only site a visit that has ads like this. Maybe one of 10 websites I visit total; just not worth it to install an ad blocker, it's easier to just not visit this site

Yea, the bottom up ads are particularly annoying. Ad blockers do take care of them, so I don't get them at work. I avoid checking at home now.

I've got an ad blocker that doesn't seem to do anything. Today is a particularly bad day for ads. Plus, not only am I getting the timed out screen or the, we're having difficulty connecting to that site type of messages BUT... I also got a You do not have permission to view this page errors.
This site is BOINK! |

Hm... not sure admin feels, but I feel like this site need to be updated. Also approval of members need to be quicker. I would gladly keep up, but not sure admin feel about it.

Maybe it was coincidence but less people have been posting since the ads became a thing.
I use Chrome on mobile maybe that's my problem, but I regularly get ads that block the entire screen. Typically they have a tiny (X) button at the top but lately some don't and I have to refresh the entire page again. It often messes up the page I'm viewing and adds steps. |

Speeding up the site would be nice and the ads are a bit frustrating too.
For me, this site has been invaluable. Almost every problem (most self inflicted) that I've had with my FRS, I've been able to fix with help from folks on this forum. I hate to see folks not regularly checking in because I may do something stupid and need help again. |

I get absolutely no ads here using Vivaldi browser....
....nor do I see or have to watch ads on YouTube, even with their recent enhanced anti-ad blocking campaign. However, I am also experiencing connection issues and timing out. Especially when trying to post. |
