Well-said Mod-man! Count me IN on the boycott team!
As I said earlier, I can deal with pop-ups in their place, but I draw the line when they start hogging up my screen to the exclusion of other things.
Flintlock76Anyone else having this issue?
I have it SEVERELY on the ChromeBook I use as a 'road terminal', which of course runs the Chrome browser which I otherwise loathe.
The fun is that there is also an ad up at the head of the page that loads and pushes the content down. To where the clever little expanding window blossoms to cover the available text window on this device as soon as you go to start typing ... surprise, surprise, resulting in a clickthrough, doubtless irrevocable modifications to everyone's tracked list of my "ad preferences" ... heaven knows what else.
Personally, I now announce that I will BOYCOTT any product or service that appears in one of these bottom ads, and I will work to the greatest of my influence to persuade others likewise. Perhaps passing that along to the monitors that gauge our preferences by keywords or themes in our posts will get the clever little vixens progrmming the adware to straighten up and fly right.
I was prepared to be forgiving to continue the free content, but this bouncing expanding crapware has finally gone too far.
Ulrichwould rather see the lady swimwear ads..

Not getting anything like that on the iPad but I have seen them on my phone and both are Apple products.
AdBlocker Ultimate enabled for this sites seems to stop the adds for me.
I was getting them on the Windows 10 laptop, not getting them on the Vista desktop.

Yeah, as I said I really don't mind them, those models are HOT!
Are those bank and financial services ads blocking as much of your screen as I said the pop-ups I'm getting do?
Starting yesterday I've been getting pop-up ads that are covering the bottom of my display screen, sometimes as much as one-third, for various products and services not related to Kalmbach or railroading in general, model or real.
Now I don't mind pop-ups on the top of the screen, provided they don't cause a problem with what I'm looking at, and I don't mind the ads on the right side of the screen for various products up to and including womens wear and swimwear. I know pop-ups are one way of paying the bills, but this is really getting annoying.
I'm not seeing the same on any other website I go to.
