Well, this just happened:-
It's a novel approach to encouraging people to post on the forum, I have to say.

Soup! Why didn’t I get any Soup?
Well, yes, it absolutely does.
If you don't see adverts NSC doesn't get paid for showing adverts.
All things being well, I do have a chunk of time tomorrow morning with no other demands, so I'll be working through the ad setup then.

It can take.a while to load up, sometimes I get fed up with the wait and don't bother.

I’ve just signed up as a patron. Not because I don’t want the adverts (and I hope my contribution will be worth more than any Ad revenue from not opting out) but because they’re such a drain on the battery of my device. And it makes me feel like I’m making a positive contribution to the upkeep of NSC.

That's s realy quite something - I've never seen anything like that.
Again - I've not changed anything for some months, so it's not a case of me putting something new and horrible on the site, it will be an existing ad unit behaving differently.
Is that desktop or tablet?
There was another US-based user who had a different horrible experience a month or two back. Unfortunately, as US-based users are the most attractive to advertisers, I think there may always be a chance that you get some targeting that I never see, but I'll do my best to try and stop it if and where I can.

Thanks for the response @Bozza. That was on my desktop at work (although at home last night on my laptop I was getting the same ad).
It was happening for hours yesterday as I dipped in to NSC throughout the day and twice the ad blew up to literally encompass the entire page (see post #42) with no apparent method to close the blasted thing.
I appreciate these things are not in your direct control and it may be beyond your ken to eliminate.

Adverts now surrounding the screen and shrinking the text to a tiny space in the middle. Struggling to type as adverts keep jumping under the cursor!
not beyond yours though……£5 solves it
…..or not. Getting LOADS of ads pop up this morning @Bozzanot beyond yours though……£5 solves it
Clicking on a thread leads to a new window opening in Safari - various advertisers (Stock Adobe and Waddesdon the last two). Happened 5/6 times in the last 10 minutes
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
That just happened but as on another thread (weird phenomenon) also trying to open a thread leads to opening up Amazon
Yep Amazon as well………

Amazon ads are taking over. NSC is just the little section in the middle of the screen.
