    I’m still getting loads, worse than yesterday, even some of the longer posts are split up with 2 or 3 adverts.

    Im not a contributor so maybe that's why but the site is almost unusable for me now which is why I've stopped posting. I'm even getting pop up ads filling the whole page that I have to close before it lets me into a new thread.

    I don't know how you are getting them mid-post. The only people who might get that are unregistered people as they get auto ads but that code only triggers if they aren't logged in

    You are both in the contributor group as you do post enough to be in that (the posting requirements for that are not that hard to achieve)

    I meant subscriber. As in I haven't donated to the site.

    And to give you an idea, I've a total of 9 ads if I scroll from the top of the page to my post.

    See I can't recreate this. Using this test account that's in the same user groups as you I get the one at the top of the page (which on mobile does turn into a bar that stays on the page unless you minimise it which I haven't worked out how to stop it doing that inside the AdSense settings yet) and then two more between posts but there is about 5 posts between them

    I've just checked it myself viewing the site as a guest and without logging on. And my experience is almost identical to yours including the ad blocker warning. I don't know whether this has worsened recently and I guess that is what @SimonW@SimonW is now looking into.

    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

    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
