On an iPad right? It is a major pain to use this site on one of them.

Don't know about a I phone but it would take less time than it took me to type this for you to Google Ad Blocker and install it. It is only a 30 second down load and for a PC it works super....Tedd

Yes, check out Weblock. It's not perfect, but pretty good.

Weblock

Last night I had enough and downloaded Webblock for my IPad. If anything, I'm getting more now than before. I'll look for Adblock tonight.

Try this you might have to use a different system than the one for chrome.

Have you gone in and made sure all of the adservers are checked? I don't get any of the ads on my iphone and don't recall getting them on my ipad.

If you have got all the blocking enabled and you still get ads click the three bars in the top left of webblock and pick black list. Click add rule, then domain.

Add the following,
bkrtx.com

create new blacklists for the following domains also
ibsrv.net
kontera.net
simpli.fi
facebook.net (note, not facebook.com)
amazon-adsystem.com

These should take care of all or most of them.

This helped, only saw one since and it blinked and disappeared by itself. Thanks.

I am on this site on my IPad and was having trouble with pop ups until I downloaded Adblock and the adds have vanished. And it's free certainly worth the short time it takes to download. Good luck, Larry

AdBlocker didn't seem to work well in blocking popups on my iPad so I went with speedmeup. Since I started using speedmeup on both my iPad and iPhone I haven't had any popups. Easy to follow instructions below:
