    Turn Off Ad Blocker.

    I became a Supporter of OperationSports a long time ago—in January 2013, as a matter of fact. I even bought a shirt that I still have!

    Anywho, I was curious if there may be or could eventually be a way for users to pay/donate an annual or monthly amount to be able to browse the forums without advertisements. I use Tapatalk as much as possible, but when I'm home or using my desktop/laptop, I enjoy browsing topics somewhat often, though my post count over the years may say otherwise.

    Currently, I have to click a link that reads Continue without supporting us for every forum topic I go to. That is somewhat annoying, and I feel I'm not alone. I understand that it is there because I'm using an ad blocker on my Vivaldi browser. I don't want to turn it off, but I also don't want to click a link between every page I visit.

    Is there any potential for this so we can visit without seeing ads and without having to click a link because we don't want to see ads?

      Just as a point of reference — I often browse the OS forums on my MacBook using Safari with the AdBlock Plus extension, and I have never seen ads or interrupting interstitial pages with any Continue Without Supporting button you describe on the forums specifically.

      On the OS main page and articles, I do see those interrupt pop-ups, though.

          Like CM, I never see them on the forums using Safari. I do see them on the main page and articles, but refreshing my browser a couple of times usually gives me the option to skip without supporting.

              After trying with other browsers, I see that you're right. I think it may actually be a Vivaldi problem. Firefox and Safari give me no issues. Eh.

              I appreciate the input.

                  During the slowdown issues as of late, my old adblocker for some reason started saying the exact same thing yours did, I believe I was using Adguard Adblocker, and out of the blue started getting those messages as well.

                  I then switched to another Adblocker and have not had any issues, I'm using MS Edge.

                          Try clearing cookies/cache. I use FF as well and don't see anything crazy.

                              I did this and still get the message about an ad blocker every single time I go to a new page. I've just turned the ad blocker off because after every so many times of having the option to click through it I'll get to one that I can't and I end up having to refresh to get past it.

                                      I suddenly have the same issue on the forums. I'm having to refresh anywhere from 1 to 3 times on every page to be able to click the 'Continue to not support us link' and get the popup to disappear.

                                      The funny thing is it started happening after I cleaned my cache/cookies.

                                              Switching from 4.0 to 2.0 Default seems to have fixed the issue.
