Anyone know how to stop those &*%$%ing Google Ads boxes from appearing in the middle of photographs loaded up on here?!?!?!?!? Been getting it for a while now and they're driving me mad!

I think that it's to do with when you start scrolling down the page. They take a while to load after the rest of the page - if you wait until the page has completely loaded it seems to be in the right place.

I'm generally not patient and start scrolling too soon and get the google ad.

When I do get the google ad in the middle of a pic, a quick click of the back button and then the forward button solves it.

They seem to stay no matter how long I wait before scrolling, even when I navigate away and then come back. But then, bizarrely, they just seem to go completely after a while. Just wondered if there was a way of turning them off completely......

There are browsers that can block specific content in a webpage. I use Opera Browser, it's got that option.

Wow! That works great. I always considered myself somewhat computer savvy but I didn't know that trick. Thanks GZGym1. :thumbsup:
