Ad overlay Covering The Home Page

**rt35ge** · 02-19-2021, 10:49 AM

So what's up with this ad overlay that is now popping up when I access the site? It's on top of the home page. Anyone else getting it? Showed up late last night, still there when I just got on. Have to click the "x" marks the spot button to axe it.

Yes, still there. Just got the same thing when I logged in.

Are you guys using Google Chrome? I was getting the same thing as well, plus on a site I go to for Polish Open Rails stuff and also at Railpictures dot net. It`s probably something with the ad settings in Google Chrome. I switched to Opera this morning and that seems to have taken care of the ad problem.

It's not seen by Firefox.....but then I use an ad-blocker.

Not visible on good old IE either... thank goodness.

Same here, use trackers, blockers, no scripts...all that stuff, also --- if it makes any difference -- 1st class membership.

OK......I think I fixed it. Somehow my Goggle Chrome Ad Blocker got turned off. It's back on. Restarted my computer and it's gone. As I said, this happened the first time late last night. Also late last night, my entire Facebook went to super small text right before my eyes. I had to do a Ctrl + 0 command to reset it. So the two might be related. Security scan record for the past 24 hours says no badies either got in or tired to. I got apps that won't allow a update of any kind without informing and giving me the option of refusing it. The whole event might make for a interesting old school Twilight Zone episode.......

I've been getting pop-up ads the last couple days using the Samsung browser, which has never occured at this site before. I've seen them elsewhere, but never bothered with an ad blocker since it's such a rare occurence for me

**rt35ge** · 02-19-2021, 10:55 PM

It's not fixed. Just called up the site and the nasty is back...... Well, as Northern Warrior said, regular IE has no issues. I'll just cross over and use it when I want to go to this site.

Don't see anything like it using the Edge browser.
