that must have been what it was, although I still have the ones down the side. But I was still amember as was still able to post. strange though, it did seem to be connected to when I activated the renewal. I didn't think I had to do anything if I was continuous. still it did mean I only paid £7.50 Ann Glos

Ann, I remember other people saying they had lots of ads until they renewed their membership. I wonder if non-paying members get them? Heather

No, I have a spyware blocker too. Actually the annoying ad went, right after I renewed my membership which was due today although was on continuous. Nobody had contacted me but the C card I used last year had had a number change. Once I renewed the ad disappeared. Coincidence or spooky? Ann Glos

Your best bet would be to ask 'Judy in the States'. She is an absolute computer whizz. I could also do with help on that front cos the pop ups and things drive me nuts - I also have a pop up blocker but still end up with loads of the darn things. Sorry I can't help any more.

I do have a pop up blocker activated which works well. But is there an Ad blocker that would block the adverts on here? (Getting paranoid now - my membership is due today) Ann Glos
