Pop up ads

[Paleowoman]

Any idea how to stop the pop up ads that usually appear on forum ? I can close them or sometimes move them to another part of the page but it's getting irritating - especially when they appear on the left hand side of the page covering part of the forum headings. Most times when I come on forum these days I have to do things to get rid of them before I can comfortably read the forum !

chrome can be set to block them, as can Firefox ...

Thanks pellicle !

Also receiving good advice via PM so things looking much better now on my browsers

And have you gone to your user control panel (click on your name in upper right corner) and then to the bottom to turn off ads?

Also, I'm interested in knowing what type of pop up ad you saw and if you were logged in.

I had never seen that button to turn off ads in my user control panel so it wasn't turned off, it is now, thanks. I never read any of the ads, they were always covering part of the forum page so I always clicked the close ad button without really noticing what type of ads thery were, sorry Angie.

I don't blame you one bit about just clicking them closed. That's why we provide the turn off for members that are logged in. As long as we get it fixed for you.

Re the Becoming a Supporting Member notice -- I am happy to continue being a supporting member, but I do not want to sign up for a Pay Pal account. I started to use a credit card, but the setup seems to hook you into Pay Pal. I used to just send an old-fashioned check once or twice a year to good ol' Hank. Suggestions please.

If you decide to do that, mail to:

Not doing this any longer. 4/2/21

And send me a message and how much so I can tell the bookkeeper to keep an eye out for it. Put your member name on it so we can stay coordinated. Also, let me know when you mail and I will update your status at that time. (a private conversation/message will do just fine)

Anyone can do it this way if they choose to do so. Just remember to tell me.

Okay, Angie, thanks. I will think about which way to go. I must say the $199.99 lifetime membership good for 55 years intrigues me. Would this guarantee a 78-year-old another 55 years?

Well, we've not tried it yet to see if the 55 years will ensure you get to stay on earth until the end, but I don't know of any lifetime members that have passed away.
