I use something called AdGuard to stop this, it drives me mad, particularly when using my iPad

Using the above none of those ads appear, or pop ups.mr.tourette wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 6:08 pm There's ads on the site obviously but in all my years on here I've never had a pop up
Bit of a PITA occasionally when it blocks something like a link like a discount or special offer but you just switch it off to use that then switch it back on.

They are AdSense interstitial ads. I think it's fair enough as running a forum isn't free

+1 on that.
We should think ourselves lucky IMO. There are a lot of car forums out there (the ones that haven't moved to Facebook) who want paying before you can access most things.
Sign of the times boys and girls
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

We have to be thankful of the moderators and admin running this forum. I can only hope they are working on a fix as this isn't normal.

That's true, but somehow I don't think the forum is getting paid anything for them - but I'd live with them if that was the case.Worcester_spoon wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 10:06 pm Iggy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 7:31 pm

Otherwise I'd just like to stop getting them as they're f*****g annoying.

Try looking at a (free) You Tube video these days. You get 3 ads before you start, which you can't skip, then an ad in the middle; now that is annoying, especially if it's a music video.
At least with the pop-ups on here, you only have to click the x!

Yes, it's only started today.
I know what Pondrew means about YouTube but they get paid by the advertisers, and I believe you can subscribe to avoid the ads.
If z4forum is getting revenue from them fine, but I'd happily pay the forum to get rid of them!

I’m sure the boss will look into this.
Out of interest, I’m on iPad / Safari with latest update 14.4.2 and no third party blocking software and I’m not getting any pop-ups.
