Forum is useless if ya can’t close ads.

mike for some reason but about once a week our router goes off track things start taking a long time to bootup or they wont boot at all. I unplug the router for about 1/2 minute plug it back in and everything good.


I leave my desktop on all the time usually every morning I do a restart on it or a hard boot. I run a radio station that may be causing it I don't know but the station is worth it to me. All old Frank Sinatra stuff!

I started having the same issues with my Iphone around the time this thread was started. Running a free ad blocker has fixed it for me.

The problem was (other than the ad at that time being giant close-up of Trump stuffing some kind of food in his face) that the ad took up the whole page, and even when I could see a little "x" up in the corner, even with my non-sausage fingers, 9 times out of 10 rather than closing the pop-up, I missed the "x" and instead clicked the ad and was taken to another site.

So yeah, forum was unusable on my phone for a few days, until I downloaded an ad blocker.

Turning off your Iphone every now and then is a good idea regardless, but I don't think this ad pop-up has anything to do with that.

Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button. ...

Continue holding both buttons for about 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I don't know that this will help, but rebooting often performs seeming miracles on devices...

Oh yeah, Absolutely. I do a hard restart regularly as well as keeping everything updated. It took me a few different apps to find one that would keep the full page ad away, and didn't slow down my internet surfing. I'm using one called Never Ads, and its working fine.
