    Right. It look as though as far as ads are concerned, the site isn't distinguishing between me logging on as a guest and you logging on as a registered non-contributing poster

    I'll pass this on to @SimonW@SimonW

    Can't we get rid of that drop down advert at the top of every page? It's horrendous trying to navigate the site with that hanging over everything you're trying to read.

    AdGuard DNS, but up till recently I would get a couple of either blank blocks or the warning asking to ok it but currently getting a lot more and even a few ads sneak through.

    Up till today I only used it on my phone as the ads took up screen space but on laptop it wasn't an issue but currently there are so many ads showing I've done same there.

    Is it blocking JavaScript as well as ads by any chance?

    Im not running any adblocker and still Gerry those adverts. If you click on the advert it takes you to the subscription page for the site.

    So are you saying if you click the ad ABOVE the 'Adblocker detected' message they go to the sub page?

    There's a red coloured advert that says something about not blocking adverts as the site depends on them. If you click on that it takes you to the subscription page. I'll screen shot it if you need.

    That there are about three or four words that if you click on take you to the subscription page, rest doesn't do anything

    That’s always been there if you were running an adblocker. I just switched the design out for something smaller that fit better with the design

    I’m not running an ad blocker as far as I’m aware but I’m still getting the same message Monkey’s getting. It’s only just appeared now, never it seen it before today.

    And you are still running the adblocker right? And this is the same machine you were getting both on before?

    As above Tolly, I'm not running an ad blocker either and it's only sprung up in the last few days.
