Under the older version I would get the Google scam award whenever I visited this site. Even with pop-up blocker on! Since the change hadn't got any pop-ups.
Are y'all using the pop-up blocker on your browser?

I sincerely suggest re-checking / adjusting your browser settings including site specific settings, find and install the appropriate extensions "if needed" OR employ an alternative browser. No body enjoys such annoyances but I am sure you can find a solution. I have previously suggested Brave browser and while it functions well at preventing adds etc it can also be annoying.

Same issue here - again, only with SOTW - doesn't happen with any other website.

I haven't a clue how to do all of that (and does any of it cost money?). Use an alternative browser?? Just to be able to use this site? No, I'll see if that damn McAfee pop up persists; if not, fine. If so, I may be out of here.
So far no response from the admin...

This is not going to happen. Thanks for this just the same. Current browser is current and works seamlessly everywhere else.
And here also, until quite recently.

When I tried it in full browser mode, not smartphone mode, Adblock wiped out the whole site. I had to whitelist SOTW on AdBlocker if I wanted to see the site.
I am getting an occasional pop up and I'm going thru a VPN that blocks most ads.

Today, in the middle of reading a post, I got jettisoned into MacAffee, not a pop up, not a separate window or tab, it just changed the URL to MacAffee. This is not tolerable! There was no click involved just apparently after about 10 seconds SOTW forces that be decided to send me flying head over heels into a location in cyberspace that I absolutely detest.

Am I the only person using a IPad or Mac Pro notebook? I installed Malwarebites awhile back this year. Have seen none (pop ups) on this site since.
When you can read anything on a site without getting blasted with ads why join in??
Should I read a "recommended reading". Maybe I'll learn what makes members upset.
click the Yes ?

Your battery was too low to get to MacAffee, you need at least 45% charge!

It just happened again, in the middle of typing a reply and the back button did not get me back to the draft.
Site admins: Fix that ****, otherwise this site is going to be dead as a doorstop in 3 weeks from now!

I, too, am using an iPad, and am experiencing an increasing number of FlashPlayer pop ups - exclusively on this site. How many? I just got interrupted by "Update Flash Player" five times while typing this response.

Correct! I don't know computer lingo very well, so I called it a "pop-up", but now I see that's the wrong term. I don't know what to call it (other than a term that would be censored on here), but it fills the whole page. Hasn't happened yet this morning, though.

I use AdblockPlus on a Mac laptop. I don't see any ads and I don't have the problem with McAfee that some of you are experiencing. Download Adblock Plus for free.

This was originally caused by a very a common virus. There could be more by now because Adobe is a name many people trust. The original was not a hugely fatal virus, just one that would cause all kinds of ads to appear .
