    Annoying Popups...

    At one time, once you logged on with your MA account credentials you were immune to being randomly inundated by sleazy pop-up ads. What the hell happened?

    [​IMG]

    I've also encountered the Latin and Russian babes for hire ads this morning too, just in the span of 10 clicks. I don't need this shoved in my face. If I feel the need for some eye candy I'll go find the "Girls in MINIs" thread.

    Unhappy customer. :frown2:

    Clear your cookies, check the "ask sites not to track me" option in your prefs, and stop hanging around Thai Matches web sites ;)

    Ads are often fed to you based on third party cookies, not by site, so it could be that your privacy settings in your browser are set insufficiency to block third party tracking.

    Those types of adverts were blocked in 2009 when the Google Advertising modules were setup. So are political, lending and other potentially annoying ad types.

    Done and done. Somehow my Safari settings changed (s/w update?) some time ago and opened up the cookie monster. There were 1600+ kicking around in there.

    Also (tried to) changed thread title to accept fault rather than pin it on the site without success.

    I'm with stupid. :eek:

    I use safari on my iPad Pro.

    Clear everything gain. Detete you favorite and reboot.

    Then type the MA URL again, enter your ID check the remember me box.

    Then enter your password and login.

    Now make your favorite once you are in and save your PW.

    BTW, in addition to asking websites not to track you, there is a "private browsing" mode that deletes all cookies and histories when the session is closed.

    Just FYI

    Two questions....:devil:

    Why are you surfing the interwebs at 2:09 am?

    And this ad is for mini owners and enthusiasts worldwide?

    I am actually at GMT minus 6 hours, so it was 12:09, and obviously, I was surfing Motoring Alliance, or I wouldn't have seen the ad.

    I don't know who it is for. Why are you messing up a perfectly good Trump joke??? :incazzato:

    Funny thread - so, for a few weeks the Ad's were down while I was working through converting accounts etc. I noticed last night I was seeing "dating" ad's. Did some research and figured out that those were being allowed as an ad feed. I removed that. You shouldn't see that going forward unless you are actually looking at those sites. Even then I don't think they will come through.

    Let me know if you are seeing them after last night when I figured that out.
