Painful

[johnh12]

I realize that a free forum needs to post ads for revenue but the pop up bar on my lower screen each and every time I select a different thread is taking things to the extreme.
Is there a way to minimize the pop ups or must I donate $$$?

Try a pop up ad blocker. I use Opera browser on my phone, built in ad blocker.

The quickest, easiest and proven way is to cough up the cash.

I find the information and comradery on this site easily worth the cost of the membership subscription.

It costs more for a good cook book, than it costs to join the forum....

Agree on the subscription. I renew mine instantly when it expires. I do it not just to reduce adds but to support the site. The amount of info I have learned here and continue to learn is priceless. I truly learn something here daily. If you can afford it I assure you it’s worth it to stick around here.

Good point! Better than a book - real people and real experience!

Sites like this are not free to maintain. I have learned more here than from anywhere else. My game is better and the camaraderie is amazing! All support and fun! Better than any forum I have been on - hands down!

I hate pop ups. But I am a member because I enjoy coming here to hang out with the crew. And learn things. It is really a small price to pay.

I think you click on your user name then account. I think there is an upgrade option there. Can’t quote remember but I think that’s right. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/index.php?account/upgrades This linkseems to work.
