Ads while browsing TRF
Did TRF start displaying ads or did I get some kind of virus? There are showing up on the bottom of my screen while scrolling though posts.

Pop up ads
Im getting pop up ads on my iphone while on TRF. Is that a norm now? Last night had trouble getting on the site with Safari, now today the pop ups. Any advice on how to stop them?

Thanks, Tim

Hmm...happened as I opened this thread. First I have ever seen on TRF. The content wasn't a good match with my interests and buying habits, either!

Looks like many are getting them, including me. I am on Safari and Firefox from laptop. Think they are ubiquitous as you move from thread to thread.

And I can own my own wedding suit or tux, which is good to know after 28 years of marriage.

It may be this is what Steve needs to do to keep the site out the red. I am sure there will be an announcement at some point regarding this. Either a temporary error or the new normal.

You all need adblockers.

I'm not seeing them but I do see them getting blocked; which I never did on this site before.

I added an ad-blocker, but I don't like the permissions required to use it and it triggers my security software.

Let's let this play out and see if this continues or is an anomaly. As Grady said, this has never happened on TRF in the past.

I'd rather pay a little more pledge money than see ads, if that's what it takes.

Ads showing up on a site are never an anomaly.
