The ads in the forum is awful, makes it almost unusable. The pop up, take up half page, you have to click a couple time yo get rid of it, then when you click on something you get more ads. Please take them away.

My browser is Mozilla Firefox and I’ve added AdBlock+. I never get ads on BPL.com or any other site. You might give those a try.

Mac OS and Safari user here.  Like Mart, I see no ads (on ANY website, not just BPL) using the Wipr extension.  I also use Hush to block tracking cookies, although this is mostly “belt and suspenders” on my part as Safari is VERY privacy focused from the start with tracking cookie blocking built in.

There are lots of options for blocking ads for pretty much every browser out there.  I suggest trying a few until you find one that works for you.

Re: browser security in general.  Time spent on researching ad block options  and tracking cookie blockers for your particular bowser of choice is time well spent.  IMO using a plain vanilla install of most browsers is asking for trouble.  Focus on browser privacy solutions first, then on ad blockers.

Never see an ad…I use Brave browser’s native ad blocker.

These “Get trusted expertise’ boxes are maddening. Can these be removed or have an option to opt out. Ruining the experience here for sure.

Hey everyone. We were able to remove the small email signup pop-up this morning. We are still working some kinks out with some new software.
