Just a rant...

It just hit my last nerve. I HATE this new ad software that takes you to a full page ad when you try to read a post.

I have been struggling to even get back to the original page when these ads appear. I hate them. DU has made it very hard to read the posts.

Well, thank you for listening.../rant.

same here....I thought something was wrong with my computer settings. I don't have $5 to buy a star membership as I survive...yes survive not live.....on social security......so guess i am stuck with the annoying ads. I spend less time here posting or reading since the annoying ads started popping up......read instead.
