Not wishing to be overly critical of my beloved Pentax website, but ads cover the options to click on lens reviews.
•UPDATE•
The ads disappeared. I am a site supporter.
Why those ads popped up at one time I guess I will never know.

I don’t see any ads, must be the small amount I pay every year to help support the site.

This is neither news nor rumor.
Moved to the appropriate forum.

No ads for me, and even when I'm not logged in the ads do not inhibit the usability of the forum.

Possibly, you have some sort of malware/adware infestation on your computer.

Obviously I realise that companies rely on advertising to increase sales; but, since that's not the way I shop, I have no qualms in employing an ad-blocker. For some years now I've been using Firefox as my browser, with uBlock Origin as one of my add-ons... and I honestly can't recall the last time I saw an advertisement on any of the websites I visit.

That’s my suspicion, yes I donate, but never any inconvenience beforehand

Hang up and DRIVE!

Could you please share a screenshot? There shouldn't be any ads if you're a site supporter and even if there were, they shouldn't be covering anything up.
