Strange happenings here

[pmgolf]

When I click to go to the Forum, it immediately takes me to a full page ad for something. I waited to see if it was then going to take me to the Forum but it just sat there. I back-arrowed to the courses page and clicked the Forum again. It took me there but signed me out. I had to resign on and come back to the Forum. This has happened four or five times over the last 2 days. Is something going on, Andy?

I've changed nothing here. Perhaps Google AdSense was having a bad day.

It happened again - just now. Signed me out when I paged back to get out of the ad. Google AdSense is exceeding their bounds big time! I seriously doubt if they are supposed to take over the web site!

All I did after going to the site was click on "Forum".

It could be a browser hijack caused by Malware.

I would run your anti-virus and https://www.malwarebytes.com/ to see if they could find the problem.
You could delete the browser and then download a new one.

Just guessing but I hope it works.

I often get a full screen ad on my phone I have to close out to see the site. Doesn’t log me out though and I’ve never deleted my cookies as this might get rid of it.

Hi Pete...
What operating system and browser are you using?

As you appear to be the only person affected, I doubt it has anything to do with Google. Where exactly is this forum link you are having trouble with?

The other night when I was playing around with that Walmart Desktop shortcut, one of the things I tested was turning off my Windows 7 Firefox AD BLOCKER. When I came back to the forum, I was getting ads also. They stopped when I re-enabled my ad blocker. I use an ad blocker called "uBlock Origin". it does a wonderful job in case anyone is interested.

It's the Forum link from the main "Courses" page that opens when I go to LinksCorner.org. I just installed the Chrome version of "uBlock" that Danny mentioned. I'll post if my troubles continue. Thanks!

That's really odd.

I haven't installed any ad blockers for years now but I don't see the problem you have.
