I only get them at the top banner. Usually they are fine, but sometimes they are weird clickbait garbage with well endowed women lmao.
Yep getting the same garbage all over different sections of the forum.
I use an ad blocker on my iPad, where I do most of my browsing. On other devices, it’s pretty bad. Almost funny, actually, because these ads are so clearly not aimed at a guy like me. They’re just wasting their money.

What ad blocker are you guys using. I have AD Block by Total AV and it is not stopping these ads which I find well not very appropriate .
Hot hot smut. Sometimes it literally blocks page functionality like the page numbers at the bottom. 3-5 per page on safari and my iPhone. If i hide distracting items using safari the performance of the website drops through the floor
Glad you spoke up about this, Birdie. It’s gotten worse and almost daily on here I see stuff that I classify as highly suggestive, borderline porn, especially the gifs or videos. I don’t recall which ad blocker I tried on my Macbook recently but it did nothing. I will try the suggested Adguard for Safari.
I can’t imagine that Fred is pleased with this ad content.
EDIT: I just installed Adguard for Safari on my MBP - all ads are gone
I counted a max of 6 ads per topic page.
One after top 'Home' menu.
One before 'Quick Reply'.
And a maximum of 4 ads after posts #2/#3, #3/#4/#5/#6, #10 and #12 when the no. of posts max out to #20 per page.

I complained to Fred about these ads months ago, as well as clicking on that little green AdChoices symbol at the top right, giving my negative feedback, all to no avail.
I also noticed that if I had Googled some product days previously that magically a pop-up ad would come up for that product. Suggests I am being tracked and my info shared elsewhere.
I think it is rather lame that you should have to put up with these ads, or get an ad-blocker, on a site where you pay a subscription fee.
Have not seen the slutty or suggestive ads today with the females modelling clothing.
