All these pop up ads have ruined my experience on Audiogon.


Geese, what a horrible experience on Audiogon now. The whole site is plastered with pop up ads that takes away any enjoyment from browsing ads anymore. 
Must be they are either getting more greedy or times are catching up with Audiogon with their high fees and strict payment options.

I have been a member since its first days back in the late nineties and as the British would say, “it’s completely rubbish now”.

I recall seeing this same issue posted by @soix a while back, didn't get a chance to respond in that one though

https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/audiogon-has-gone-too-far-too-fast-with-the-ads?page=2

@builder3 In that thread is a post by soix on October 3 where he was in a better mood wink I hope he doesn't mind if I repost it: 

First Tammy, thanks so much for responding here.  Very specifically what’s driving me absolutely nuts here now is the page refreshing every few minutes or so where I lose what I’m typing.  I can tell it’s gonna happen because the response to my typing becomes progressively slower as I’m typing a post.  My uninformed guess is the constant refreshing the individual ads is exacerbating this, but I don’t know.  It doesn’t happen when I’m editing my post where there are no ads on the screen, and it doesn’t happen on other sites where the ads are more static so that’s where my theory is coming from.  I’m using an iPad via Wi-Fi and Safari as my browser and the latest iOS version, but if there’s anything else I can provide that could be helpful just lemme know.  I’m at the point where I’m gonna just use another browser (recommended here) that blocks the ads and seems to work, but I’d rather not if I don’t have to.  Thank you!!!!!!!

 

And seriously, which is more irritating: Having the page here jump around all over the place as you're trying to read it or type on it, or having to delete the 17 thousand Black Friday sale emails? 

Just wait until Cyber Monday before you answer!

@soix  Yes, absurd. There are hundreds of quirks that could be causing the issue. Tammy asking for a screen shot doesn't warrant your tone or response, at all.

I use Firefox which has a settings option that blocks pop-ups and third party redirects. No additional ad-blocker app installed. I have no issues reading this web site or composing messages. You can find the this feature in the Privacy & Security section of Settings.
