Is anyone else seeing ads even though I'm signed in?

Or is it just me? And it's only while on the Home Page (I think...)

Edited: Nope, it showed up again once I posted this. So not just home page...

I am seeing a block of ads between the scrolling banner and the posts or the Welcome screen on the home page. The ads that appear there are apparently for items that I have done a google search for in the past. I assumed this is how they pay for the "free" forums. TINSTAAFL, they say....

yes, I am seeing it now. Way back, the guy (can't remember his name - he was a moderator and was in the PNW) explained how to get rid on the ads but I can't remember and have a new computer so I am now getting the ads. And yes, they are related to previous searches you have made.

Just remembered his name - Boffer

I ran the adblock app referenced earlier and it worked. No more ads on the home page. Here is the thread that has a link.

Same here. I didn't mind the ads here, but Google Chrome started bullying me with ads and wouldn't let me block the offenders, so I had to do something. Evil or Very Mad

I am seeing ads near the banner but no pop-up ads.

Here's a video showing how to install the Ublock-Origin ad-blocker. I've used Ublock for years successfully.

Is anyone else seeing ads while logged in? Reply asap if you do.

Mark, thank you for the UBlock Origin for Chrome.

I am not seeing ads because of my ad blocker, but the ad blocker says that it has blocked 3 ads for this site.

I see ads at he top just below the scrolling SFG Welcome.

Also at the very bottom under "Permissions to this forum"

Not good. Checking into it.

I'm using Ghostery on my chrome browser and haven't seen an ad since.
