Default Popup ads

Is it just me or are these popup ads new at the bottom of the page? Everytime you click on a new thread, or back, they popup. Very annoying.

Download Ad Block Plus, or any good ad blocker.
I see no adverts at all on TOTV. or most anywhere else.

Ad Block Plus is about the best I've found. However, some websites will force you to disable it to read their content, which is a pain. But that's life nowadays.

With all the expensive overpriced membership fees we pay to use this forum, there should be no pop-up ads to help support it to keep it going.

As others have said, one can use Adblock Plus or a browser with it already built in like Brave or CyberGhost to help but then of course one wouldn't be helping to support the costs to run the forum.

Yes, they are annoying ......... but as noted above

Same here. It's a pleasure with no ads. My ad blocker is great. Have no idea which one I use. My husband took care of that for me.

An ad blocker is the way to go. My browser is Brave, which includes an ad blocker with their software. No ads com up on TOTV (unless you count those dreary Baldwin Brothers ads trolling for business...)

I also subscribe to ******** **** (thought I'd put in the asterisks so that the thought police won't have to). However each time I log on I get this message asking me to disable the ad blocker because ads are the way they pay the bills, or some such. The "continue without disabling" message is almost microscopically small. I actually pay for my subscription over there (not many do, I think) so I feel justified in ignoring it.

Funny that when I see these popup ads I don't want to buy this product.
