Sorry friends - I can no longer see the forum content for the ads. I have to scroll down two screens just to get to the forum headers. Too frustrating and badly presented. It has been fun, but I'm done here.

Hang in Graham, what browser are to using, it may well have an Ad Blocker.
This is the page I see, when I open ST, using Chrome, and Ad Blocker. Don't go. Cheers. Ed.

Ed, this is what I see with Chrome and with no ad blocker -only pop-ups are blocked.

Graham, I have used the free Opera web browser for many years, and setting its built-in ad-blocker to 'On' removes all of that rubbish from the Shuttertalk pages. At the top of this screen in which I'm typing this reply, I can see only the titles and then your post #1.
Cheers.
Philip

Try his
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...nfo-dialog
or, go incognito.
Opera has a free VPN setting, which I use when running KODI . Ed.

Guys, I have tried the "poperblocker" to no effect - it tells me "no overlay found" or "no popup active". I won't change my browser just for the sake of one website forum. I don't have any issues with other forums.

"Ad blocker
If you block ads, web pages will load faster and look cleaner. By blocking ads with Opera’s built-in ad blocker, you also block the source of many tracking cookies. The ad blocker also stops cryptocurrency mining scripts."

Guys, I am not going to change my browser. I am not going to experiment with other ad-blockers. Now, this site is showing posts quoting me as the author, when they are not written by me.

Graham, if it happened fairly recently, try a System Restore. Ed.

I am alerting the admin to the challenge to have him check into it.
Please be patient.
Thanks,

This is happening because you have our old theme set in your preferences and it isn’t supported in newer browsers. I have switched it to the new theme. Let me know if that fixes your issue.
Thanks

I now seem to have less open spaces between ads and between the various elements of the thread. Better. I'll give it a try and see how I get on with it. Thanks.

At least perhaps take a look over your wall: https://www.opera.com/computer/mac

Philip O.K., You have twisted my arm! I'm now typing this in Opera. I have made it my default browser and I will access it's performance over the next couple of days. So far, so good. One question - in the settings I have enabled "Block Ads" . Will this also block pop-ups?

I'm not sure, Graham, but I suspect that pop-ups are blocked by the default settings, as I never seem to get any.
Cheers.

Pop-up Blocker is on by default, it is well hidden!! here's how to find.
To disable the pop-up blocker in Opera:
Alt + P to open 'Browser settings'
Select 'Advanced' in the menu on the left.
Select 'Privacy & Security'
Select 'Content Settings'
Select 'Pop-ups and redirects'
