Before raising my issue, I understand the need for advertisements to maintain profitability and do know about the Caretaker option to go ad-free. No issues with either of those.
Are any other users having issues with the full screen pop-up ads while using Safari on a Mac laptop computer? It happens with nearly daily frequency that a full screen pop-up ad appears after trying to navigate the Forum. (That's not a problem.) But after watching the ad and letting it clear the screen or even clicking on the ad, the site becomes unusable. The browser window basically locks with no ability to scroll down. Refreshing the window just brings more of the same.
I've noticed that this browser window locking doesn't happen when using Safari on my iPad, just on the MacBook Pro laptop. Also, it doesn't seem to occur during the few times I've accessed the site via Firefox on the MacBook Pro. So maybe there's some sort of issue only with Safari in the MacOS?
Anyway, wanted to see if other users were having this problem.
