I'm getting adverts covering the full page when I'm clicking to open a post.

It's getting silly now and very annoying, to the point I now spend a lot less time on here.

Yes, I know what you mean. I’m now getting ads which won’t let me proceed until I delete them.

im starting to get almost "ransom ads"....when i click from one section to another an ad (anything from guns to tools / welders etc) comes up and i cant transfer to the next section until i have dealt with it.......

what is annoying now is i cant go to the next section on the forum without OPENING the ad....it blocks my path until it has been dealt with and opened.........its almost like click bait...........the delete "X" is no longer there until you open the ad.........

its getting beyond a bloody joke this is

havnt got a mobile ...its on my PC..........i can cope with the day to day ads on the website....but this "click bait" type of ad is really screwing things up.........i dont like to be held to ransom by beretta ads and other shooting related stuff..that forces me to look at and open before i access other parts of the forum.................it tends to come and go and is most prevelant in the late afternoon evening
