I am getting them also - did the forum sell us out to advertisers?

I think so. It slows down the site for me. Might get tired of waiting for it to load. Will try an add blocker.

True. When will the invasion of our privacy end? Everyone sees different adds based on each computer or phone search history.

To test it clear all the history you can then do a search for tires or a car....Bet the adds will be for tires or cars. BS

We have a few threads about this issue and it's not easy or efficient to update them all with the same information.

So I'm going to close this thread and link to one of the original threads on this subject. I have inquired into the issue and that is the current status:
