Re: Annoying ads in between posts

Google just changed their ad settings so site owners like this one, if they don't turn them off, just got more 'auto ads' which is what we are seeing. The idea is to increase ad revenue which helps pay for sites. As a user though you can install ad blocking software which should stop them. For example if you use Chrome to view this site you can install <this one>. Or just Google "Best Ad Blocking Software" for other choices.

I never had a problem with the Ads that I used to see at the top of the page except that I often found I was waiting around for them to load, that's why I got Adblock.

Funny you should say that. Occasionally I browse this site on my Android tablet and I get the banner ad at the top of the page but I have yet to see any ads between messages.

On my main computer like others I use Adblock Plus but there are only limited options with Android software. Why you would want to reduce the functionality of a browser by disabling Java script is beyond me when there are so many other more flexible and effective options.
