I only use my laptop for this and don't have trouble with ads. I do get those weird amazon things on my phone, though. I would not blame "Amazon" for these. It is just like any other "click-bate" and has nothing to do with the real company. Some bad people hoping you will enter your information, passwords, etc. I would hate to see people leaving the board because of this. Hopefully, you can find a way to block adds on your system.

FireFox with AdBlock. I never, ever see pop-up ads. Both are free.

Me too, not an issue with pop-ups.

Are you using a PC or tablet/ipad?

It seems to be unique to a certain browser.

I just installed AdBlock and the next time I clicked on a message I got a popup ad. It's one that's driving me crazy and I can't figure out how to delete it.
