The forum isn't setting off my McAfee all the time, so it is only a few certain Ads or possibly just one AD that is setting it off.

Other wise all works as normal.

Stevie is actually seeing less advertising than usual... even the adverts hate him and all...

I'm in the same situation as Ivor - I've been using Adblocker plus (a Firefox extension), and I've never had a problem with it.

I do know that createaforum does give ads, so I don't know if they're doing something more aggressive recently or what, but I'll see if I can check into it soon.  I have several things happening today, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get to it in the next day or two, but I will look into it as soon as I have time.

I haven't seen it, but I've had Adblock Plus installed for the last 2-3 years

Whenever I click on anything, my McAfee kicks in and blocks the ad.  What I see is a flash where the McAfee page opens and then goes behind the forum page.

This is the ad that kicked in my McAfee.

It's irritating, but doesn't stop me from checking out the forum.

I downloaded an add block.

May we have the url to get that, please?

It started happening yesterday, I downloaded an add block and the site is working fine after that, I've had not such luck with the ipad, :( the work around there has to be use the mobile version of the site. It is not pretty, but it stops the getting to different pages.

I've noticed the same, so it's not just a UK issue.

I am wondering if either Createaforum or one of there the advertisers have been rather aggressive in their serving of advertisements.

Another strange thing is the the right clicking on a link does not bring up the usual context menu for a link. I often use it to open pages in a new tab, especially the chat room but no options for opening links have appeared so I have had to use workarounds.

Has the site been hacked? Strange things are going on. Unwanted adverts keep popping up.
