Re: Pop Up Ads From Hell!!!
Ads are controlled by Google. A couple of weeks ago we switched to Google's auto ads which are much easier to implement and maintain, and have a nice set of advanced controls that automatically adhere to Google Advertising Terms of Use. As you've seen, it starts out with some pretty aggressive settings and did not take into account the existing ad template. I apologize for not anticipating this. Removing the old ads, making adjustments like reducing frequency and establishing exclusion zones and pages comes with a bit of a learning curve. I'm running comparative tests (each takes a day or two) and working on keeping them out of areas they shouldn't be (like headers and post content areas). It takes a while because changes don't take effect immediately and with server cacheing and browser cacheing... ugh.

Re: Pop Up Ads From Hell!!!
I am not seeing ads when the page first renders. Unfortunately, none of the message links are clickable, until I refresh the page. Once I refresh, the links are now functional, and in-line ads (just a couple) are also added to the page... any idea why the links and ads don't render the first time the page loads?

Since I loaded Windows 10, I can access Windows Edge to view websites. If I use that, lots of pop ups here and on other sites. If I use Internet Explorer, not so much. I might need to update or download a new pop up blocker for Windows Edge.
