Was doing some 're configuring' of my computer, and lost my 'ad block' protection for a bit.
How monumentally annoying this site seems to have become.
Shame really.
For me...even if I had no food or water, I would be hard pressed to click on any of the myriad annoying ads to help me!
I am still holding my breath for the 'tech guy' that had responded at one time...and announced 'great changes' on the way for this site.
Anyone else hear more? Seen changes? Heard a response?
Just wondering...
Happy 4th of July for all that celebrate!
Best!

I have ad block back in place now...I just had a space of time without where I got a 'glimpse' of how utterly annoying and intrusive the ads here have become.
I am ALL kinds of 'protected' again! lol
Still have my ad block so I have no idea what they have done to this site.
And that makes me very happy
my mac seems to do most of the filtering for me, thank heavens, because i'm completely inept as to reconfiguring and finding adblocks.
i couldn't respond or send flowers earlier this morning. now it's working again.
good thing i love y'all so much. MP is so glitchy and overall sucky these days.
:( khairete

I've cut my time here short a few times due to the ads. There are some at the bottom of the page, embedded in the first responder's answer, that keep pulling me down to the bottom of the page where the ad plays. I have to keep trying to scroll up to where I was in the post. Also, one or two times I was on here, there were ads for sexy asian ladies. Really??? On a mom's site??? I don't really care if there are ads on here, but the ones that control the screen and inappropriate ones are ridiculous. This is the only site I have these issues on.
That tech guy was just blowing hot air as far s I am concerned. There haven't been any changes, and forget about reporting posts as they don' get removed, or at least it takes forever. If it weren't for the funny You Tube questions, I would't be here so often. And the ads are a joke.
I don't know what you are using, but I got adblock for free at the google chrome store (I use a Chromebook). Not sure if that works on your computer or not.
I don't use any "ad block" software-I just have my preferences set as such to NOT get any of these annoyances at all.
I had to get Ad Block once I started seeing really racy ads on other sites, as much for my kids as for me. I'm always surprised at how racy stuff can get online when you're on normal sites!
No kidding. I still remember the gambling ads from a long time ago. Blech!
