    It's a real issue that needs to stop.

    The correct way to handle this is through the help forum. But just curious how you expect GC to pay it's bills.

    I'm moving this to the Help Forum. It doesn't belong in Swamp Gas.

    Not with BS popup ads that want to freeze your device.

    I don't think anyone is suggesting that GC not utilize ad servers that pay the bills. I think what people are suggesting is that GC utilize more reputable ad servers that don't server up ads that freze your screen and direct you to malware sites.

    This is the second thread in the HELP section regarding this problem. There is a thread in the INSIDER forum about it as well. Bottom line: other message boards don't have this issue. GC needs to raise their game so that the issue doesn't drive people away from this board.

    This problem seems to be generating posts on the premium boad -- anyone have access and let us know what's being said? Is there a fix in site? Does GatorCountry even care?

    I get that T-Mobile redirect often. It's not just a pop-up but it takes me to a webpage outside of GC. And when I'm reading articles, the page shifts when the ads cycle and I have to search for the spot where I was reading. My premium subscription just expired and didn't auto-renew, which is a good thing since I don't want to support a board that provides a crap user interface.
