    Advert Pop Ups

    Hi Dave,

    Over the past few months I've noticed adverts popping up frequently on The Forum SA, to the point of irritation.

    Is there a setting that I can adjust to get rid of the ads, or is the "new normal"?

    Neville I found that today. A reboot seemed to solve it.

    I log out of the forum every day and I shut down my computer every day, but the ads have been there every day for months now.

    I've just installed Adblock Plus on my Safari browser.

    Let's see how effective it is.

    It has been working like a charm - not a single pop-up advert!
