Ads in forums becoming a pain

I'm using my mobile and cannot view part of screen thanks to unwanted strap adverts from companies like ebay and paypal whom I haven't any account or ever intend to. Anyone else experiencing this too?

    The paypal one is not too bad as it has an x that can be closed, the others however cannot and follow you as you scroll down the screen.

    Yes ads are becoming more oppressive but at least the sound ones are gone.

    Ads on mobiles are a pain, harder to close and can take up the whole screen, eat into your allowance and play random music.
    OP, there are solutions for you if you google a bit.

    When hitting the close x, now suffering a site closure and return to Google search bar! Not right and something should be done for such intrusive nuisance.

    They reached a tipping point for me a few weeks ago. My PC can cope no probs. My mobile devices struggled. So something had to be done. ;)

    Why don't you use Adblock? It's really simple.

    It's stopped! Is it time limited?

    I use adblock but lately i have been coming across forums that no longer work if you have it on. I can see this becoming a regular thing and it's going to be incredibly annoying.

    I've installed Adbloc plus and have a temporary reprieve! At least DS is now watchable - it was becoming just sooooooo slllllllllllllloooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww and annoying with all the ads.
