I wouldnt get membership. I cant afford it eiher. I know I get pop ups on my tablet, and cant see half the text screen when I type because of it. My laptop doesnt have the expand option anymore sonIbhave to widen it but the ads still cover. Surprisingly, my android phone is the only one not suffering from ad-vitis.

It could be a bug. I cant see a site with ads that purposely make it hard to use the site. So, I have many feelings on that....

Later folks.

It was opposite for me. Before I got premium membership my smart phone was unusable for RF due to popups.

Most of my posting is by my phone. I'll look at chrome versions for mobile if any seem appealing and not seeking too much permissions.

Thanks for suggestion. =0)

If you do have a samsung phone you can download Adblock for Samsung Browser in the app store. I am planning on uninstalling google chrome on my phone.

I wonder if you can get banned for this. I just got one of the extensions and it blocked all the ads. Now, not only it does not show any ads but the forums it self feels faster.

Soon as I said my phone gets no ads, it poped up. Cant see whst Im typing.

I feel a site shouldnt force someone to pay because ads are interfering with participating on the site. Before it was updated, the site was fine. I didnt get alerts and still dont but now I dont get my @ alerts as much if any anymore.

Plus, I have other expenses. Im trying to deRFy myself since I have classes and have to focus on that.

But its personal preference.

I have Firefox and just installed "adblock plus" in less than 30 seconds. Restarted Firefox, and now no more ads. :)

No. I'm also very open here about my own use of ABP, nor do I care if it upsets anyone over "lost revenue" because I'm not having having companies begging me to waste my money on their products I neither need or want.

We have been running this new ad setup for less than 8 hours. Please give us time to tune and configure everything before you all get the pitch forks out. :confused:
