You know, the one that flips to the clickbait ads for “15 Celebrities Who Have Committed Horrible Crimes” (who IS that guy in the picture, anyway?) and I think we already know what the Empire State Building looks like.
I’d like to actually read threads, mmmmkay?
:rolleyes: :smack: :mad:
I’d like to pit whatever is happening since the new ads that causes JavaScript errors that freeze my screen, and require me to go to my task manager and close the entire browser.
I quit beating on my keyboard and that stopped the screen from bouncing off the desk …
Which is the ad that causes the Back btton to stop working?
(On my work computer when I’m not logged in.)
The guy is Jeffrey Donovan from Burn Notice.
Oddly enough, he is NOT one of the 15 celebs who have committed horrible crimes (according to the click bait link)

This happens to me all the time.
Clearly, this is Obama’s fault.
There has been a discussion about the ads fucking up the Straight Dope Message Board here:

I downloaded AdBlock and it seems to have made this site a lot easier to view.
Here’s the AdBlock link: https://adblockplus.org
Thanks … Obama
In mine, my local gas supply company wanted to reassure me that they were “green” and rather friendly. They demonstrated this with a 30-second ad that looped continuously and refused to be closed or to let my attention wander. Vexing.
TYVM for the AdBlock link. I had previously downloaded something called AdBlocker and while it worked for Facebook, it didn’t seem to work for this.
In Facebook’s case, I kept getting an ad for a diet supplement accompanied by a picture of a woman wear thong underwear that was several sizes too small. :rolleyes:
AdBlocker is working great for me … no ads … no freezes … no trouble … it doesn’t filter the dip shits that post here, but I’m pleased with the results.
I use Adblock Plus and NoScript on Firefox, and have none of the problems with the board people complain about.
It makes browsing the Internet in general much better, for that matter.
I never wanted to use Adblock, figuring that I should pay for my internet usage by having my soul chipped away by Big Business.
But this message board has forced me into it. Glad I did – if anyone isn’t using it, try it.
The SDMB will once again be the dope, man.
I’m sure President Trump has a plan.
ETA: I viewed this place on a friend’s tablet; I couldn’t believe the shite!
It is annoying when those pictures are too small. I want them large enough to enjoy every detail. 
I reported this back on May 29th…

Still happens occasionally!
tsfr
YMMV, as I don’t know what ramifications this may cause on other sites.
I use Google Chrome and disabled the “Shockwave” option in “Settings.” Often, when I try to scroll/refresh, I receive a “Trouble Loading Shockwave” error. This settings change seems to have fixed it.
Yeah, but you’re a cannibal. So no one should listen to what you say.
Adblock definitely works for me. I have not had any ads on the SDMB at all.
