intrusive ads revisited
« on: August 25, 2025, 11:10:00 AM »
I'm used to the pop-up ads from the bottom of the screen, but today I am getting ads on both the left side and right sides of the screen. They are so large they compress the forum and make the topic nearly unreadable for these aging eyes. 

Short of throwing the laptop out the window, is there anything I can do about it?

Well, yeah. But this is something new, and I wasn't sure if something had changed behind the scenes at TRW.

Annoyingly, that doesn't work on mobile.

My Android works, but it is an international phone with rooted software running it.
