Some Ads are Back

[Dave5Cs]

Ok, I think I found the problem. These annoying pop-up ads for Ukrainian Women Mechanics should stop popping up and ruining your day going forward.

Let me know if this helps.

Yes but there is no socket on that tool what good is that?

She may need some help with that.

Is that what you call "Hood Art"?

If the change Gary has made in Adsense settings work, there should be no more popup ads.  There are three Google ads in right sidebar, which are displayed at bottom on phones, and the BCM ads at top of forum, which are not Google ads.  Let us know if you see anything else.

Can you post a screenshot?

Maybe you should try a different browser.  The only ads I see with Firefox are the BCM ads above the forum.  FF with Ghostery blocks anything containing trackers, so all Google ads (and pretty much all other ads on all websites) are blocked.  I don't use an ad blocker, just have all FF privacy and security settings maxed.

Is that full screen?  Don't see any of the forum.

[oltrunt]

Yup, full screen completely blocking BCM from view.  You can see the BCM forum/index at the top of the screen shot when you look closely.  Jack

This is what I get using Safari on a Mac.  The ad is pretty small, but the BCM page is blurred in the background.  I don't mind it at all, so this is just for your troubleshooting ventures.

I turned off the Auto Ads (again).  We will see if it takes this time.  Maybe the 3rd time is a charm.

Let me know if you are still seeing the annoying pop-up ads or not.

I've edited the code in portal blocks for Google ads.  What, if anything, is anyone seeing?

[Van]

I don't see any.

[Krash]

I've installed Pale Moon browser and am able to view sidebar ads.  The change I made earlier killed the ads, so I've reverted to what we had been using.  I see three ads in right sidebar, which is how it's supposed to be.  The BCM ads above the forum are displayed correctly.  Still not seeing any popups.

[chadspeer]

No full-page ad for me when I logged in today, using the same setup that yielded the ad with the forum blurred in the background yesterday.  I don't envy you guys for trudging through all this tech, but I'm sure glad the forum is here!
