This is annoying

Yup. Glad you brought it up. It is genuinely annoying.

It is not happening to me.

That is ridiculous. If you’re using firefox or chrome, install either “adblock plus” or “ublock origin” and never see ads again.

No idea about Apple products but I use chrome and adblock works for me also so I haven’t seen it.

BTW I got a steal on an 18 inch bandsaw if you need to do any re-sawing while in the desert.

It happened to me the other day but LJ website was struggling in other ways and was pretty unusable for a few hours so I just assumed it was another one of their “upgrades” having a problem. The ads in general have gotten more annoying lately. I opened someones project to take a peak and the the same hot pink ad was on the page 7 or 8 times.

I use the free version of Adblock Plus with Internet Explorer and I never see any ads anywhere on LJs.

So far, no, I’m not getting them

Paul i havent seen any pop up on mine ,but that s a good looking box

-- Jesus Is Alright with me

I see it on my iPad in Firefox.

Long since installed Ghostery…..zero ads. Ghostery is also FREE! it will also block all trackers, too.

I haven’t seen ad banners going right across photos. Yet. That’s just evil. Looking into Ad Block now.

-- Mark

I agree with BRIT… (NO, I have NOT seen anything like that)

AdBlock seems to work really good in speeding up the website as well as removing UNWANTED Ads.

Check-out Adblocks??

Wow!

Get that of my box!
Ad Block is it.

I work in IT, though not in web design specifically (not for many years, thank goodness, though choose your poison—I’m in IT security). The web developers have to make these things work with limited toolsets and try and make it display perfectly on screens of any size, like windows desktops with wide screens, laptops with older 3:4 screens, phones with tiny screens, ipads with medium screens…. believe me—the testing and design of this stuff would make your head spin. Yes, it’s necessary to have ads to support this free space we enjoy, yes they try not to have those unintended problems (their goal is to keep you coming and see more ads, after all), and no matter how much they try there will be some device someone tries that displays badly (a kindle? Amazon fire? Barnes and Noble reader?). And more out every day.

That said, I hope they fix it, too. But be kind on these guys—there is probably all of one of them, and a contract employee at that, and doing the best they can given time and resources provided. Be kind and mention the problem with a request for a fix, and then…. maybe they have the resources or not. This resource is free to us—be kind and understand it takes a LOT to make this happen even though it seems ‘easy’ when we browse. :-)

It looks good on my Linux with Firefox. Thanks.
