    Couldn't tell if it was working at first - my "stop-sign" is at the bottom left of my screen. But here I am ad free! Thanks so much!!

    Adblock works fine and it is free...only 200 ads per day will be blocked. The pro version cost monthly but blocking is unlimited.

    Hi all, I see the issue with the ads as well. It's an issue we are working on resolving now! We'll get the ads back to normal asap! Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Best,
    TaliaRose

    Yes...I highly recommend it. If you want to see ads, of course, that is sad, and don't use it, but I HATE the distraction of the ads.

    Sometimes they flicker and move and are really annoying!
    I don't mind the ads when they are at the top and at the bottom of the page -- it's only when they were popping in between posts. There have been some good things in those ads, and I suppose they are what keep us going here. And you're right about the "animated" adds. They do crazy things to my eyes. The cute little animated signatures drive me crazy, but c'est la vie.

    I downloaded Simple Ad Block, but when I went to activate it, it tells me I must purchase a key code! I don't have a red stop sign. I have a blue e on the bottom tool bar.

    FYI, Only works with Internet Explorer. If you have a different browser, as I do, it won't help.

    I cannot believe how much faster this board is since I got the ad blocker with firefox.
    Thanks again for all your help sewobsessed1!
    I enjoy coming here again.

    there are two versions. ;-)

    that said, it's time to lock this topic. i've had to delete some nasty comments.

    let's close this out on a helpful and positive note.
