    Default Can't read the board thru the pop ups!

    I am getting so many pop ups on this board, that I can't read it. One on the side, one on the bottom and one on the right. There is only about 5 inches of space for the board. Anyone else get this?

    I use FireFox and a pop-up blocker.

    I only have banner ads at the top and bottom. I'd say it's time for you to investigate your browser settings.

    I have that problem when on my iPhone, but not when on my iPad or Mac laptop. Frustrating, I agree!

    I only have that problem when I don't log in to the site.

    This is a computer/tablet issue. Not Quilting Board issue. Check out firefox.

    I have the same problem and I'm sick of it. Wish there was some place we could notify when we get unwanted pop-ups. I do have FireFox. What kinds of blockers are there? Do they really work?

    Get Ad-Block Plus. No more ads or pop-ups. https://adblockplus.org/

    I don't know if they have a tablet/phone version, but I know they have FireFox and Chrome.

    Edit: It's free. No affiliation.

    Found the problem! It was a download called Klip ad. I went into my computer and uninstalled it and popups be gone! Don't know where it came from but the problem was I couldn't read this board without clicking on 5 popups to close them out. Just like a bad virus.
