I downloaded add blocker pro and followed there instructions. So far so good. Both my iPad and phone seem to be working just fine. We shall see if it lasts. I'm not putting schit on my phone just to use this site. Because this is the ONLY site I ever have issues with. Well, if you decide that you would like to try to use this site without problems, we're showing you the way. Merry Christmas

I get the amazon/walmart/sweepstakes popups on my iPhone and it drives me crazy. I've tried adblockers with limited success.

There's specific steps to take to activate your adblocker as well as specific Adblockers that work. Also folks have used Dolphin browser with success. So, exactly what browser do you use? Folks have been able to go 100% redirect free and it'll work for you too if we get the right set up. I'm Android though, still zero ads, pop-ups or redirects. These other guys will help. Got a few minutes to give it a try?

After the install of any of the blockers: 1: Do a shutdown and then restart the device. 2: Go to settings and check if the blocker is turned on. Adblocker plus works here. But one of my vehicles is a Chevy, so I no doubt get preferential perks

As much as we enjoy them, websites are not our friends. Websites cost money to set up and operate. Every click is monitored and every bit of data about you is sold. That is how they pay for the site and servers and make a profit. As marketing intensive as this site is, you can bet .gov has their hooks in here as well, mining our data and archiving our comments, whether the owners realize that or not. We all need to protect our sanity and protect our data. Adblockers and more are necessary, if we want to surf the web.
I do believe sites are reaching a point of overwhelming viewers with disruptive ads which will end in decreased revenue. The campfire seems to be at that point.

Regular AdBlock for Chrome on my MacBooks and iMacs. NeverAds on my iPhone. I don't have any issues with the site and don't see any ads. Heck, I don't see the Chevy ad either. Not sure why you are having the issues.

We shouldnt have to go to these lengths when the problem is the site ... GIVE THAT MAN A CIGAR!! Yep, however, a man can only control what is in his control.... If you don't want to use the site without issue, you're all set. The fix only takes a few minutes and a bit of effort. Many thousands think it's worth it. Merry Christmas

The $1.99 adblock fixes the problem on the site and others. I bought it a couple days ago. No issues since

Is it too soon to ask if anyone has admitted that maybe they were just being stubborn?

MtnBoomer,
That’s not the point. I’ve been a member here for 17 years. This is the only site I’ve ever been on that has this problem. I shouldn’t have to pay to escape ads and pop-ups that make it impossible to even read the site. That’s being held hostage in a sense.
And Merry Christmas back at ‘cha!

I used Addblock Pro and it was free. Download of the app was quick. Then it’s just going into the settings and setting it up was easy.
Merry Christmas

I switched to Firefox for my iPhone and iPad browser. Never easy to change but it solved the problem and it is very fast.
Ride well, shoot straight, and speak the truth.

And Merry Christmas back at ‘cha! I appreciate the Merry Christmas but totally disagree what the point is in this situation. There's plenty of free adblockers. It's silly not to use what works if you wish to use the site without issue. Or, a guy can continue to suffer waiting for Rick to fix it. But, chit's been going on for years as you know. It's a simple fix on the user's end and the only thing we have any control over. When someone told me that on Android I could use Firefox browser with the add-on uBlock Origin and then IT WORKED 100% I was rather pleased, have not paid a dime and have had zero ads, pop-ups, nor redirects since. NO PROBLEMS for over 2 years.... Several guys made some changes recently and are now problem free. That's the point... Adblocking software is good in many other ways too.
