leave DU. I NEVER before had a problem with pop up ads here. This has started and continued even though my iPhone is set to prevent that. It is the only site where this happens. It is intolerable because when I click the x to close it the ad still opens. Sorry to leave but I can’t stand it.

Edit. Thanks to the nine kind persons who gave me a ❤️ heart. I’m leaving. Can’t afford to be a star member and hate the pop up ads in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. It’s been fun but don’t want to now pay for something that was free for many years. Not in this economy. Besides I do not have a PayPal account and never will.

I use Safari on my iPhone for DU MOMFUDSKI Feb 2024 #4

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, I use Safari, and I've got an iPhone 14 Pro Max, so it's a recent high-end phone. NBachers Feb 2024 #9

My tablet (like an ipad) is what I use when I'm sitting around on the internet... Think. Again. Feb 2024 #5

Your punishment for buying an Apple product? Wonder Why Feb 2024 #7

I've used Android phones since the early 2000's, and switched to Apple only recently. My Apple phone is miles more NBachers Feb 2024 #10

I'm sorry you can't take a joke. My reply was neither sneering nor contemptuous. I hope you have a better day tomorrow. Wonder Why Feb 2024 #13

Are you using Skinner Mode or the new design? unc70 Feb 2024 #8

Thanks, and I appreciate your helpful and non-insulting reply. I'll give Skinner Mode a try, and see if that helps. NBachers Feb 2024 #12
