when I click on a topic to see the threads, I click on a thread to read. when I do, a big giant advertisement takes over the whole screen. It doesn't have a close tab, I have to X out of the page to get rid of it. I lose my QB page & it is SO annoying--it has happened quite a few times this week. Is this happening to anyone else?

it would be helpful to know the device you are using, the type of browser, and if you are using an ad blocker. i have a windows XP, use firefox, and have the free Ad Blocker. i don't get any ads.

I use Windows 7 and I do not get ads.

I get it and too often for my taste. Very annoying indeed.

I use explorer 8.0 windows. how do you block the ads [thought i had already done that!]or do I need to be in firefox or chrome?

​My DIL put ad blocker on my iPad so I don't get them on QB.

where do you get ad blocker?

tartan -I am curious. I am using an iPad and don't get any ads on QB. Do you mean the ones above the beginning of board topics? And there is something to eliminate them?

My DIL has pop up adds blocked. I do have an add as a header under the top of the page but it isn't intrusive.

Apple users.go to your privacy settings.."Ad Tracking". Turn it off. READ the info about this setting. You wont be able to totally eliminate ads but it may help.
