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.

I won't change my browser just for the sake of one website forum. I don't have any issues with other forums.Opera is free and definitely worth trying, not to use just for one site but for all:

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.

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'
