I am on the verge of giving up completely on this site. The volume and intrusiveness if advertising far outweighs the usefulness of accessing the site. In seeking help with a clue just now I have 1) been unable to type my query, 2) unable to read possible answers on the thread, 3) unable to type my log-in details due to the proliferation of ads for Discover Audible, Casino, and Blinds2go. Are others having the same experience? I get that ads bring revenue, but if they are so intrusive as to render it frustrating, if not impossible, to use the facility, it becomes counter-productive. Either it gets sorted or I’m off.

Hello, Tonta.
I used to have that problem.
I changed browsers to solve it.
I use Brave browser and get no ads.
Brave is based on Google Chrome.
Others on the forum use other methods to stay ad-free.

The World’s Biggest Online Casino is blocking me from reading your post.

But thank you very much for your reply, Rusty.

I use 'Chrome' and yet to see an ad of any kind

You could try this:

I use an ad-blocker. It's always hilarious to see messages reading " We see that you are using an ad-blocker " and then suggesting I disable it so that I can get advertising messages. There aint a violin small enough

Being on the forum on my iPhone 6s seems to be very overrun with ads. I have alerted Ash (the sites owner) and he assured me he would get it sorted.

Two female friends inform me that at least two of the fashion companies being advertised on this site, are scams !! I am shocked as there are possibly vilnerable people who may be trying to order from these disreputable companies. Please check them out on Trustpilot . Why are they permitted to advertise here ?

I apologise for the typo in previous post. I have just checked out an appliance company being advertised on this site, which is shown on Trustpilot as 100% scam
