Ads causing difficulties

[Jack Hammer]

Sorry to have to complain again. I'm having quite a big of difficulty on the sites ads lately. There is a block that runs video ads on the bottom of the page. When its running video I am forced to watch it by it directing my tablet to it. If i scroll away I am pulled back down. This continues until all video ads stop playing and a pictured ad appears. It starts again when I change pages.

This has gotten worse in the last week or so. Previously, I was told I could click a triangle in the corner of the ad to opt not to see it, it's not there anymore. I've tried pausing the ad with the pause icon on it, it does nothing. How do I stop being held hostage by advertising?

Thanks, - Jeff

Yeah, we're looking into that Jeff. I've already sent an email to @HowardE.

I have found Scubaboard to be...by FAR....the worst WWW site when it comes to constantly feeding my computer a non stop bombardment of applets...ads.....just constant 'traffic stream' to my computer, hogging up bandwidth, constantly refreshing ads and things........so I immediately close my Scubaboard 'window' whenever I'm done reading what I wish to read and NEVER leave the window open in the background 'running'.
