i am not getting them now. i log in and log out also use a vpn and cookie blocker. must have been a glitch of some sort

In the last week these adds have become very annoying if not logged in. If I were new to the site and thinking about becoming a paying member I would have second thoughts, they are that bad. Perhaps there is a way to let it be known on one of the introductory screens to the site that paying members can avoid the adds. Worth the price of membership just to avoid the adds. An add here and there is not so bad but there are several on each screen.
