Default stupid ads

IS THERE a way to STOP the stupid ads on this site? I constantly get the one for that ultra beauty and it wont close out so I have to close the qb and open again about 4 or 5 times. I DO NOT enjoy coming here very much anymore between that and not being able to see the post without clicking on each one.

What browser do you use? With Chrome, I use the Ad Block Plus extension.

Are you using a PC or a hand held? I am on a PC with Google Chrome and have no problem with ads blocking my view of a page of posts at a time.

Airwick, many of these ads may be coming from "adware" that may be on your computer. Try running some Adware/Malware remover scans like "SuperAntiSpyware", "Malwarebytes antimalware, "Spybot Search and Destroy". I run these scans 3 or more times a week on my computer, they help to keep my computer free from these pests.

Go to your apps icon and see if you have a free version of "Ad Block". I had this same problem on my iPad until I downloaded the ad block app. I only had ths problem on my iPad, not on my laptop or smartphone.

if you are sure that pop-up is connected to a QB ad space, send a screen-shot to [email protected] .
their policy is to block all pop-ups and "flashy" ads.
