Why all of a sudden the advertisements again?

**All of a sudden, getting these advertisements again, only this time they pop up and cover almost the entire thread post I may be reading at the time… Thought that was one reason for the site **
change.

I got nothing against 60’s bathing suits, but sure not looking to buy one…:huh:](downsize-200k-v1 hosted at ImgBB — ImgBB)

I got a couple today but they were just links to a fishing site. BUT…they froze my browser on my phone when they popped up requiring me to close out and restart chrome. Not good!

[Jig-fisher]

Just did it again. Froze my browser, had to restart. I’m tired if this “new and improved” site. What a hassle.

I have not seen any ads on here - yet. No clue about it. But I don’t come here except with my laptop - never use my phone for browsing forums. I might Google a business now and again on my phone when I’m out & about, but forum work is all done at home on my PC. And I’m using ‘uBlock Origin’ ( thanks Rocky ?) along with the DuckDuckGo search engine. No ads here.

**Reading and maybe answering posts I can do from work. **

I don’t recognise that word. What’s it mean?

Not sure what that means, but I sure don’t surf the web looking for those. That same add used to come up on the side bar adds on the old site…

For instance, whenever I look at news it tends to pick up the forum ad I was visiting, which I’ll bypass ad. The one I have been seeing is a Sportsman store in Colorado. I don’t use my iphone for any forum but have option to use 2 different desk top operating systems and my iPad.

As DuBob said, the solution, the antidote, the miracle ad preventer is the small add-in called uBlock Origin. Versions for both Chrome and Firefox.

It also helps a LOT to change your preferred search engine to Duck, Duck, Go instead of Google.

I get dizzy when I get too close to the Edge.

Don’t have to worry about any of that now that I’ve dumped Windows in favor of Linux Mint.

**All good info fellas, thanks. But since I use 2 different desk top PC’s and one I can’t change operating system or upload any different type of search engine or browser, I have to continue using what is compatible on both.
I started this thread mainly to ask why the new BFT site, which was supposedly eliminating all those pop up type ads, was suddenly allowing them to jump up and cover half my screen. It happened 3 or 4 times yesterday, and each time I closed them, and clicked the box that said “Don’t show this ad anymore” and so far have not had anymore. **

All the ads are crap! Something has to change or I will go elsewhere. I used to love this site, now :dodgy: :@ :@ :@

[Muskyon46]

Mine are back and getting worse also. Good thing there’s more forums

[dubob]

I have yet to see an ad on my computer screen while viewing BFT. All y’al that keep getting them might just want to install the FREE ‘uBlock Origin’ app. Here’s the link: https://ublock-origin.en.softonic.com/

Did I mention - it’s FREE?

**Hey Clint, I loaded that free program that dubob recommended, uBlock, to my home PC, **Client Challenge **[font]have not had any pop up ads on it since. **

[wiperhunter2]

I got this Email from the site owner saying, The ads were NOT supposed to be mixed within the posts like they are. THAT IS CRAZY You can tell the members that the site devolopers are on it and hopefully will have if fixed ASAP?

[Anglinarcher]

You don’t see that happen to Rapalas very often, but it sure make it frustrating to spend that kind of money and have it happen. You can put some 2 part epoxy inside and tape it closed for the cure period to fix it. Better than tossing the lure out.

Or, if it’s usable as is (not falling apart) just use that open crack for your scent attractors…Sounds like temps need to take a dive up North also, before fish believe it’s actually Fall season…maybe after this weekend? Hope to see you on the water at EC or RP…Guluk…

That thought entered my mind when I first saw it. But looking deeper into the crack the eye hook doesn’t look to be very secure at all. I have options of a 2 part epoxy or fiberglass resin which I keep a stock of both.  :-/
