This used to be a fun wet site to come to learn about new things, restaurants, places to see...ask for suggestions, etc., etc., etc.

Now it seems it's only a Craigs List of TV

Disappointing.

Hello - if you click on 'Hide Classifieds' then you will not see the classified items and only the discussion items.

Best Regards,

Sure but you have to click hide classified EVERY time.. and after you read a post.. you go back to new posts and the ads are back.. but you have to wait to click hide again.. it is ANNOYING.. and yes.. capital letters mean I am shouting..

After you hide the classifieds after going into new posts - then pressing "hide classifieds" again (instead of new posts) refreshes the new posts and brings them up to date, and keeps the classifieds off. You have to go back out of the post you were reading to the screen that has the "hide classifieds" button.

If you don't refresh for a while, not sure how long, then you do have to wait the 30 secs.

Simple Solution - download Firefox...

go to "ad on's" and search for "ABP" and install...

No more ad's or classified pop up/over/unders....

I agree. The site is replacing the old " Classifieds " section in the newspapers. It was at one time much more interesting. Now how do I go about listing my used size 42 men's briefs with minor stains for sale at a $ 1.50 apiece ??? Let's see ------

I definitely don't consider having to go to a new browser, which will then require add-ons, to be a "simple solution" to using any one website.

FAR more secure than IE and a galaxy more secure than Chrome. Edge...well, does not work with anything.

Then there is "Tor"....Edward Snowden approved and my primary window to the web.

Folks who are on Chrome are being tracked by Google - every keystroke (and your information then sold...and Google has no issue admitting it).

Nope. Already have Firefox with ABP and it works well for popups, etc., but has no effect on whether the Classified ads show up or not. This is a system problem on TOTV that appeared with the security update a month ago.
