Today I have been getting an add that keeps reappearing after I click the x and close the add. It's a stupid "Spreads from Markets" add. I have reported the add dozens of times and it keeps popping back up straight after I close it. The add is below.

While this has been going on, I have been getting lag when trying to type a response to any thread. I have nothing else running and I type stuff but it takes up to 5 minutes to print out what I have written.

When this add is running, my pc fan goes nuts and the cpu works overtime. None of the other adds cause this problem.

That happens on any website, I flag the add and it keeps coming back and overheating is your PCs problem, not forums.
My PC is overheating too. Stuff from nightmares.
 
The adds on here sort of lag my iPad. I’m not sure we can do anything about the adds, as they keep the forum free and running.
 
It's only the add in the picture that does this, my pc does not overheat when the add isn't up, but goes nuts as soon as that particular add pops up.

My pc runs World of Warcraft without overheating so it should be able to do a forum.

What kind of graphics card are you using?
 
Install an ad blocker. Adblock Plus is one I use.
 
I only use Edge as a back up browser but I have uBlock Origin installed on it. I didn't use the app store, I googled ublock origin and installed it from their site.
 
cant, there isn't one for MS edge. The links go to Microsoft but the page is blank.
Just found it in the MS store. Can't post a link cos they use their own window. Just search for adblock
 
the one for ms store has a blank page, I tried it before.

for the mods, this is pissing me off. fuplie adds slowing my pc right down to a crawl. and its not my pc.
 
no issue for me. only when the wifi is going slow, but thats not the websites problem
 
maybe try a different browser such as Firefox or Chrome
