Can someone help me get rid of these kinds of ads?![]()
I hate it and am going crazy. Only happens here. TIA.
What are you using? Tapatalk? Desktop? Phone?
Let me know,
Thanks,
Tricia
Just to be clear. Websleuths has disabled and has always disabled the option for pop-up ads. We have never had a pop-up ad in our stream of ads. Having said that there is a very slight chance a non-approved pop up ad snuck through. Most likely it is something the user picked up along the way and the pop up ad is activated when you come to Websleuths and therefore it looks like it is coming from Websleuthswhen it's not.Macbook Pro with Safari--pop-up ads disabled.
I use Chrome and tried this and the problem was immediately fixed.
Please understand I am not a technical person at all. That's why my directions for technical issues sound just like when I give directions to anyone who is lost. I don't use tech terms. I describe everything in easy to explain landmarks.
Here goes:
Type into your address bar: chrome://plugins
Then scroll until you see "Adobe Flash Player".
Make sure where it says "Adobe Flash Player" that the blue line underneath says, "Enable". This should grey out your box and disable your Adobe Flash Player. This is where the problem originates.
If the blue line below Adobe Flash says, "Disable" then click on the word Disable and "Enable" will appear.
The blue line below Adobe Flash must say "Enable".
Then close out the screen.
This took care of the whole issue for me.
This is an Adobe Flash issue and is happening everywhere.

the ads were freezing my browser and sometimes causing my computer to crash. I'd be willing to pay a subscription, Tricia, if it meant no ads.
Let me get with our Tech guy. We haven't had any complaints lately about this type of thing but let me look into and get back with you.I'm on an iphone, it's updated to the lates iOS, and I am getting a TON of redirects. Factory reset my phone and it's still happening. Is anyone else experiencing this or is it something with my device?

I was told that this is a Tapatalk/phone issue. I don't know why it only happens on Websleuths. I'll keep looking into it but so far, I am told it is not a Websleuths issue.
Please, if anyone else has this problem or any problem post it here. The more information I can get the better chance I'll have of finding out what is wrong.
