Members Orval Posted March 30, 2017 Members Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hello Matt, Most days the ads on this website prevent me from typing directly into the post response box. I must type into MS Word and then copy and paste, then remove formatting before I can respond. If I can find the ads and close them I can then type directly and post, if not I have to close out of the forum and re-log back in. It is most frustrating, as near as I can tell they are google ads. Is there no way to remove them from the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I turned off Microsoft ads in my windows 10. seems to have worked. the ads on the forum show up immediately and are not constantly reloading. you can ignore this post.

Orval... surely ads were not only showing up on the forum here? Didn't you have them elsewhere? Why not add an ad blocker to your web browser. Your browser also probably has some "security settings" to help block this junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted March 31, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2017 I posted about a very similar problem earlier this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1611mac Posted March 31, 2017 Members Share Posted March 31, 2017 Yes... but that is an abuse of Flash... not a problem with Flash itself. Though one could probably disable Flash completely some websites still do use Flash for legitimate reasons. One needs to be sure to always have the latest version of Flash and also run GOOD virus/malware software on their computer. Users should also LEARN about all the security settings on their computer and web browser to eliminate the bad guys.... but few people do this learning. Then when something blows up they panic. I do have flash dis-abled on my Mac, knowing that if something doesn't work right on a website it is probably because Flash is disabled.
