    Is it just me or...........

    ..........is there more and more intrusive, ads than before? All thing considered, not complaining, but have had all sorts of new 'intrusive' ads on other places as well a recent ever increasing number of links I've used that are now blocked by Google and/or Avast or at least require some response from me before I can continue.

    Not just you. It’s horrible using the phone.
    In fact, an ad right in your post.

    Thanks! Yeah, I had to adjust screen size so I could click on the 'remember me' on sign in; the first few times I thought that along with the rest messed up that it had been deleted and had to change it again to shift the ads to the right side of the screen enough for the messages to display completely, so guess it's not an option on a phone?

    Have yet to join the 21st Century, so no modern phone experience beyond occasionally making a call on others' phone when forced to, such as activating a new/replacement credit card, etc., can apparently only be done on one.

    Re: Is it just me or...........

    Welcome to cyberspace, I'm lost in the fog
    Everything's digital I'm still analog
    When something goes wrong
    I don't have a clue
    Some ten year old smart a** has to show me what to do
    Sign on with high speed you don't have to wait
    Sit there for days and vegetate
    I access my email, read all my spam, I'm an analog man.
    The whole world's living in a digital dream
    It's not really there
    It's all on the screen
    Makes me forget who I am
    I'm an analog man
    Yeah I'm an analog man in a digital world
    I'm gonna get me an analog girl
    Who loves me for what I am
    I'm an analog man
    What's wrong with vinyl, I think it sounds great
    L-Ps, forty-fives, seventy-eights but that's just the way I am
    I'm an analog man
    Turn on the tube, watch until dawn
    One hundred channels, nothing is on
    Endless commercials, endless commercials, endless commercials
    The whole world's glued to the cable TV
    It looks so real on the big L-C-D
    Murder and violence are rated P-G, too bad for the children
    They are what they see
    The whole world's living in a digital dream
    It's not really there
    It's all on the screen
    Makes me forget who I am
    I'm an analog man
    Yeah I'm an analog man in a digital world
    I'm gonna get me an analog girl
    Who loves me for what I am
    I'm an analog man
    Yeah I'm an analog man in a digital world

    Yep, those are everywhere, and a major annoyance. Maybe on a super fast computer they have no page load impact, but they slow down page loads for me, and often impede page use until their 'critical information' is delivered.

    Remarkable that they think it sells stuff. I purposely NEVER buy anything that gets dumped on me as an ad. Usually I don't even look at them, and invariably it is crap I would never consider anyway...

    One more example of smart (read stupid) 'technology'.

    Double thanks! All gone.

    BTW, that was a stroke of genius by the web designer to put the add over the login!
