Anyone else have an issue with ads running in the lower right corner? Or know how to stop them?
Using an iPhone 13 Pro Max with pop-up blockers turned on. Seems to be an issue only on this site.

Not just in the corner anymore. These things have taken over the majority of the page.

Below is a screen shot from about 5 minutes ago. You have the top banner, which is fine. On the left side bar with the members avatar and details, which still makes sense. Then on the right you've got a side bar that's twice the size of the left one with a full add. And now below the post you get a GIANT freaking add. When you scroll beyond that first post of the page the giant add pops to a smaller add in the bottom right corner (probably the one you're talking about).
The screen is now covered with more add space than actual forum stuff. I realize they've got to pay the bills but that's a bit out of hand. Forums have been dying over the years at the hands of social media. This may be a sign that this one is on its last leg too.

Unfortunately, it takes an ad blocker to make this site usable.

I'd like to support the site more but there's a threshold that the site designers go way beyond.

All of my network traffic routes through a Pi-Hole server that blocks ad and tracking URLs. I don't see any ads on this site (or any others).

I never used to. I don't know if the ad blocker I had been using needs updated or what but, but it does pretty much ruin the site without one.
