    Default Ads with movement really annoying

    Those Modlily ads with continuously changing pictures are really annoying and distracting. Is there any way to get rid of them or stop them from flashing?

    While trying to read Tartans post about orange peel quilting today, I kept getting repeated “congratulations Comcast winner” ads that take over the page no matter what I do and every time I closed the window, and tried to read it again, it just kept happening. I gave up trying to read it for an hour, and when I tried again, it still happens. Just FYI.

    This happens constantly to me also. I also close it out but only to have it come up again. Very annoying.

    It depends on the browser and device with those ads. Try changing the browser or device (PC vs tablet types). I don't get them on the PC or laptop but have on the tablets. Check the privacy settings and clear the browser history to see it helps.
