Pop up ads--help

11 years ago

When I go to this forum I get mini pop up ads all the time even when I don't have the mouse over anything. Not sure on other forums, but nothing on the rest of my computer. What can I do to get rid of them, and yes I do have the ad blocker-whatever it is called.
Thanks

Do you have AdBlock disabled (grey stop sign and not red) here?

I checked my programs and have AdBlock for IE, but have been running Fire Fox Would that make a difference?

Either your pump is not pushing any water, (probably because it lost its prime) or you have a broken line somewhere. If its a broken line, let it run awhile. You will get a very wet spot. That's where the break is.

Whats up with the pop ups???

No pop ups on top screen. But every time I posted or went to a link, moved to a new page on GW, a mysterious pop up for gambling hidden behind everything. Other than shutting down, the only way they went away was to click the x on them...sometimes as many as 15. The irritating rolling Target ad went away. Yes, I know about stopping all of this, but it seems like we have to continually update our systems. Agree...this is getting irritating and slows down using GW. Wish they would quit messing with the site. I can deal with ads on the side, but have no interest in what feels like video conferencing with their marketeers.

pop-up sprinklers that spray UP and not sideways?
Q

Yeah, it does, but you might get lucky. I don't have upward-spraying nozzles, but I do find the Hunter 15' adjustable spray nozzle does a pretty good job of clearing taller grasses as the spray angle is pretty sharply upwards. And you can change the angular opening to anything you want. You might be able to change out the problem risers with taller ones as well--most companies make 4", 6", and 12" risers.

If you have malwarebytes, free, it will remove those. Malwarebytes is a safe and easy program, highly recommended.

in the Adblock plus settings make sure you have unchecked the option to allow certain types of ads and also make sure in the filter list section you have easylist selected and added to your adblock plus. click on the stop sign ABP icon on your computer to see the options and preferences.

I just tried to opt-out on my ipad and I don't see any pop-ups! It appears posters from many forums have been complaining so perhaps they are doing away with them? Has anyone else "lost" the pop-ups?

You must have the version for the browser you are using, there is one for IE and a different one for Firefox.
Adblockplus.org

Select the icon for the browser you are using and install it.

Here is a link that might be useful: Adblock plus
