    Default Ads blocking my ability to use site

    If I'm on the forum for more than 5-6 minutes the Nature's Bounty ad pops up in the middle of my screen and I can't close it ... I have to quit the site and come back in ... any ideas? Or am I the first?

    It doesn't do it on my work PC (guess b/c I work for the government and it's all blocked LOL)

    But it does it all the time with my home PC / ipad

    Thank you

    Look up ad blockers on Google. You can download for free. I have 3 on my computer.

    I use Mozilla firefox w/adblocker plus as my browser. Don't have those issues. It is free and I think works very well. Might want to check it out.

    the problem is on your end, not the sites.

    Thanks for the information. I'm not at all techno savvy, and the ads have been driving me to distraction! Just added the extension through Google and it's better already.
