I am getting ads all over the page won't let me post. I found a way

[doc03]

around it finally anyone else have this problem. Ads covering entire page. Shutterfly ads covering the entire latest thread page. won't let me read posts.

1. We've just started a fund drive for DU.........and all you have to do is this:

Cough up a few dollars. And then you will have a star. End of ads!

Plus, you support DU.

It could not be easier.

5. Bullshit I have donated over $200 to the campaign

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I see EarlG is looking into what the problem might be. I'm sorry! n/t

12. Star-shaming is declasse

You don’t know anyone else’s cimcumstances, and it’s the height of presumption to call out anyone else for choosing not to donate. It’s done far too casually here; I think we can do better.

17. I have star membership

And I have those things too. Not cool.

[CottonBear]

2. Donate what you can and become a star member. Benefit: No ads. N/T

[Thekaspervote]

11. I don't think it's about being a non star member, other star members are saying the same thing

[Dream Girl]

3. Donate!

[EarlG]

4. Sorry about that

There should not be ads on the post page. We think it's related to some code changes we made to start the fund drive. Elad is investigating.

7. Thank you ads on the page keep me from reading any posts.

[Hekate]

6. Don't procrastinate, donate!

[doc03]

9. Don't give me that I have donated over $200 to the campaign. If it doesn't stop there will be no

more!

14. Is That $200 in Your 17 Years Here? I Think They Run Annual Fund Drives for Star Memberships.

[Gothmog]

10. I am having the same problem

Is the only way to avoid this to become a star member?? DU is essentially not usable or readable

[Indykatie]

15. Wow - You Have 86,000 Posts and Aren't a Star Member Already

[babylonsister]

21. Stop trying to shame anyone; some people

choose not to donate for personal reasons.

[George II]

22. Not speaking for Gothmog, I buy a star with a modest contribution but make up for it....

....by contributing to other important issues.

I've given $600 this year so far to FoodShare in CT, and will be sending a couple more $100 donations.

For everyone's information (this is an unsolicited ad!!), every dollar contributed to a food bank provides 2.4 meals! That's amazingly efficient cost effective. Cash money (via check, too) is best - they can use the entire contribution without paying any fees or transaction charges. It's also better than contributing food since they can buy what people need.

Ad over, thanks for listening!

13. No problems here

It's either fixed or it's the Firefox.

[NotASurfer]

16. I had what might have been malware a while back

Kept getting redirected, suggest checking the DU computer forums (Mac or PC, found the answer for my iPhone in the Apple side) to see if anyone had the same problem you have, if it might be malicious code, and how it might be dealt with.

18. I use Adguard Adblocker on my browser.

These days you need an Adblocker for security reasons.

19. I am seeing ads under the top menu bar on the gd page

And there was a stand against Harris ad somewhere which I reported.

[LeftInTX]

20. I get large ads on my phone

They are within posts and you don't know whether you are at a post or it's an ad until you observe further. It is very annoying.

Not a star member right now. The phone ads are distracting, but I also see that on many other sites as well...(I use an ad blocker on my computer, but don't have one on my phone)

[Cirque du So-What]

23. Try the DuckDuckGo browser

It has a built-in ad blocker; I don’t get any ads here whatsoever. The DuckDuckGo search engine leaves a lot to be desired, however, so I go to Google for serious searches.

[LeftInTX]

24. On my phone?

[Cirque du So-What]

25. Yes

Android or iPhone.

[LeftInTX]

26. Cool!! Tired of ads on my phone!
