Ads are killing me! Help.
How do I delete all these pop up ads? I'm looking for a C7 from a dealer and the ads cover the iPad screen by at least 1/4. I can't get a full view of the cars. It's horrible. I have all the blockers on. Doesn't help. Any ideas?

Same here and I'm on a desk top with all the ad blockers on. Whoever thinks these pop up ads are good for us should be executed!

Best place to ask for help on this is on the Help Forum in the Help & Feedback section.

Not true. I log in everytime and get the ads. As I expand a picture, the ad expands as well. Think I'll head over to the help section before I get hung. Wait. I am hung, but that's another section too.

FYI I am always logged in. If I weren't I wouldn't be able to post. I did look at the help section and there is no mention of how to disable the pop ups, but since you know sooooo much more put a link up here from the help section so all the others on here can disable it too.

Here's another valuable link for you, a help thread from the HELP forum on how to do searches on the forum.

If I knew where you lived, I'd volunteer to hold your hand while you're on the forum so you can find stuff.
You didn't say wherher you were getting the popups before or after you logged in.
Maybe the forum is just too much for you to handle.

I use Noscript to control obnoxious popup ads.
https://noscript.net/
It allows you to enable/disable individual scripts. Gives me the ability to enable enough scripts so a site will work but no extra annoying junk. For example as I look at this page I am blocking 6 scripts while allowing 10 others.

Maybe this will help...OP says he's using an iPad. OP, if you are using Safari go here and follow instructions on how to disable popups.
From the link: "Apple's Safari browser offers an integrated pop-up blocker on both the Windows and Mac platforms, as well as on the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. This tutorial shows you how to enable or disable this handy feature in a few simple steps."

I must be doing something right. I do not see pop ups on my ipad or desktop. Or even my phone. And no I am not a paying member (yet).

Zero on PC, but on mobile they pop up some times. Since he is on an ipad, he maybe accessing the mobile version.

You only need to select "private browsing" which is available on just about any browser.
I use firefox - launch it, go over to the far right hand icon (three horizontal bars), click on it and click on "new private window". When it opens, launch Corvette forums and see if it isn't 1000% better.
In fact, I will NOT click on ANY site unless it is in private browsing. Including gmail.
