Are you aware that the constant ads cover your links to forums, recent posts, my topics, settings, our blog and contact us. Is this a feature of your premium membership and I can only gain access to these links if I have a paid membership, is this a bug or a problem with my browser? (If I have a paid membership will the ads go away?) Is there another way I can access the My Topics link, it's a handy link? I only noticed this because I was able to access these links while using my nook for some reason, yet when connected on my laptop using chrome the links are always covered by the ads. Thank Tammy

this geek is totally embarrassed that she didn't know about this

I only noticed slide out ads covering links when on a mobile phone.

I hate smart phones.

To turn ON the pop-up blocker:
Desktop>>>Control Panel>>>Internet Options>>>Internet Properties>>>Privacy>>>Turn ON Pop-up Blocker

I have never had ads anywhere, so you might try it :-)
Premium Membership plays no part in ads.

Thanks for the help, problem solved!
