I guess it's a small inconvenience for the information we get and get to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Could someone tell me when these pop ups happen? We've been down this road before and I thought it was fixed given I haven't seen a pop up in months. Perhaps a pop up blocker might help?

That’s funny! 10 seconds before I saw this thread I was thinking about how TU is the worst for ads!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 Man guys I'm really at a loss here because I have zero issues, but like Vodkaman, I'm using Firefox. Anyone running it and getting pop ups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted August 16 Author Report Share Posted August 16 So here are two screenshots that I took. The large chat online ad popped when I selected a thread to read. The other screenshot, those never go away. Left sidebar 25% of screen always has ads and the bottom scrolls up with ads. I use an Apple IPad and Safari. There used to be sponsor program here and wondered if that would work to take away the adds if you became a sponsor but looked around the website and couldn’t find any info on it. Could that be an option? I’ll search for an add blocker for IOS. I’m not really techie but will look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted August 16 Author Report Share Posted August 16 For the IOS Safari users, I found a workaround. Thank you all for your responses and suggestions. Go to App Store and search Adblockplus for Safari. Free app and the app symbol is a stop sign with ABP in the sign. It’s free for download. After it’s downloaded, go to settings, Safari, extensions, and enable adblockplus. TU is now pop up and add free for me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping someone that knows this stuff will come along and offer some help. The only thing I would know to do is uninstall it, reinstall it and make sure to turn it on in settings, safari…….. I took a snapshot of the name and logo just so you could see which adblocker it was as I noticed several in the AppStore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
