Hi, Is there anyway I can get rid of this gentleman permanently, without turning off my ad-blocker - I'm sure he's a very nice man but he' starting to irritate me a bit now. Thanks

I haven't found a way - and I have an ad blocker already.
Maybe he's the price of a free forum.

Unfortunately, as this is a free forum supported by ProBoards who use ads to finance their activity, no.

Good grief .. that's gruesome; where are you seeing him ? I don't have anything like that on my screen view.

It's bigger than that and takes up most of the screen - he pops up every now and then asking to talk and telling me to turn my ad-blocker off.
I click on I'll do it next time, as that's the only way to get rid of him, but he pops back up again later.
I think he likes me.

If you are using Microsoft Windows 10, then set your security settings to maximum. This should eliminate such annoyances. It will however eliminate all Twitter links as well since the security setting switches off location tracking and Twitter insists on using it.

Yes, that popup is a real pain. I have tried all kinds of things but so far nothing works. One day I'll crack it, and share the method with you guys. I'm on W7 and he comes up on every page.

I'm on W7 as well but I'll have a look to see if I can alter the security settings as exile suggested for W10 and I'll let you know if it works.

He's a good-looking chap. Could be worse. It could be my picture. 😂

Aardvark and Daenerys .. I, too, am on Windows 7 professional with AB+ but this afternoon was the first time I have seen that monstrosity. Goodness knows what I (or my trusty old laptop) am/are doing right but it works.

I don't get him on this forum but do on the ProBoards Support forum - I just tell him I'll do it later.
