What's up with all the ads? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 11-11-2019, 07:54 PM

Got them here too!

**Stocker** · 11-11-2019, 07:55 PM

Dunno if it makes a difference.... I'm on Firefox and I don't see any ads.

**Stocker** · 11-11-2019, 07:59 PM

I don't see them. Not doing anything special..... I am on Firefox and I'm using uBlock.

Redneck Rydes · 11-11-2019, 08:06 PM

Got them also

o FlashControl https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...imkipmoe?hl=en
o Privacy Badger https://www.eff.org/privacybadger

With these in place...I never see any of the annoying crap any more. Occasionally I will be required to open a site or article in another browser or in Incognito mode as to get past their 'no ad blocker' policy, but the overall browsing experience is now controlled by me, not by them.

BTW even though I'm a premium member here, this site does not care about ad blockers!

Right...nobody in my area hiring IT roles outside of the work visa programs...trying to find a new career as a result.

**TKCR** · 11-11-2019, 08:59 PM

It’s being discussed on another thread also. They suggested clearing the browser history & rebooting. I have tried several things, but nothing seems to be working

**kwmech** · 11-11-2019, 09:01 PM

I'm getting PG&E bankruptcy ads

**Rods** · 11-11-2019, 09:27 PM

I’m seeing them also thinking WOW that’s annoying......

**Ironhorse** · 11-11-2019, 09:32 PM

Anyone else seeing a lot of ads spaced in between each thread reply? Just started seeing this, really annoying for all the off the wall ads. Most don't relate to trucks or cars at all. Seeing them when I am logged in. Just started seeing these recently, maybe last day or two.

**TKCR** · 11-11-2019, 09:36 PM

I have tried numerous things, to get rid of the ads, but they keep coming back

**Ironhorse** · 11-11-2019, 09:36 PM

Well, put me in the same grouping guys. Just posted about them in the General forum. EXTREMELY annoying. What's up with them? Will try a shut down and reboot but seems as others have tried that with no luck.

CG · 11-11-2019, 09:39 PM

Third thread on this … or is it four? haha.

**68bowtie** · 11-11-2019, 09:56 PM

Went away after clearing data, but they are back now.

**jocko** · 11-11-2019, 10:16 PM

Hmm. I was about to say "what ads?" - but now I'm getting them too, somehow embedded in between posts. That's it, back to soup cans and string for me. (I'll try a reboot too)

Lunnb · 11-11-2019, 10:21 PM

I’m seeing the ads too , about every third post . Almost as bad as the daily robo calls ...

shifty · 11-11-2019, 10:24 PM

It's a lot! But not quite as much as the quantity of ads in each post!

Lunnb · 11-11-2019, 10:25 PM

I clicked on the Ad box in the corner , it opened up a page from Google . Using this link , I turned off the ads , hopefully gone for good .

Killer Bee · 11-11-2019, 10:53 PM

read about the big ads popping up before but just experienced it today.. doesn't seem to be device specific, getting some on both mobile and pc, both restarted today.. but does seem to be only some threads so ??

I'm not paid subscriber so I'm not complaining, but for all that do, seems like selling ad space wouldn't be necessary, at least not large intrusive spots like those..

oh well, modern internet

**70cst** · 11-11-2019, 11:01 PM

I'm not seeing them but maybe its die to my Ad Blocker...

Astro-Balls · 11-11-2019, 11:09 PM

Mods, Are they going to do something about this?

**70cst** · 11-11-2019, 11:11 PM

I'm not but I have an Ad Blocker
