Google ad/scam survey blocking du.

[cbabe]

Google ad blocking du site. Need to exit and reload every few seconds. Happened nearly all day last Friday. Happening again today. Beyond annoying.

Using iPhone 6/safari.

Suggestions?

1. Pay any amount to DU for 'star membership,'

and ads disappear.

2. How do I do that?

3. Ask the Administrators.

6. Also, up at the very top of the page click on "My Account"

and then "Star Membership" tab. It will walk you through the process.

7. Thanks all!

4. Star membership greatly improves DU experience

Getting rid of all that clutter immensely improves the usability of the entire site. The price cannot be beat.

5. Ka-Block from the App Store. Free

8. I use the Brave browser on both my Mac laptop and Android phone

No problems with ads at all.

10. Buy a star. You can do it for a dollar if that's all you can afford. That will make ads disappear ..

for a year then you'll need to renew by buying another one.

11. I tried to send money today as the bad google ad stopped blocking the site. But

I was bounced off the payment site. Sigh. Checking visa account tomorrow to see if money is gone. No star on my du account so payment probably didn’t go through. Next try is mailing a check old school.

Thanks for the help offer. Also earlg is looking into the bad google ad situation.

TTFN.
