I'm not getting adverts but have had trouble entering GR site last couple of days!

I get these quite often, but not on GR, mostly on a games thread which I use for some solitaire like games, getting rid of them does slow you down in starting, very irritating but I do grit my teeth and say to myself it wasn't for these ads I'd have to pay for the puzzles! I think the object of them is to collect your email addresses if you try and win something.

I might add some of the big adverts are headed Genes Reunited Survey ......I-pods etc ugh. The advert takes up the whole page and at the top it says in small letters continue what you were doing (or something like that)

I have ad block on my pc so tend not to get adverts. That sounds very intrusive.
