This and it’s various Boards are driving me mad

Is anyone getting this who has clicked ‘accept’? Or is it only if you click ‘no’ to cookies?

W10, +or- Adblock seems to make no difference, every click brings up the "Accept" "0ption". Obliged to login again as well before being allowed to post this reply.
I can understand Admin resenting Ad blockers but this must surely be a glitch, or could it possibly be that Adblock or no - those experiencing this nuisance have no history of ever responding with a monetizable click to any ads? Perhaps worth experimenting to see if a few click-throughs might improve ones forum-worthiness rating.

I don't think that would make any difference. I've used an adblocker for years on these forums, so I've never clicked through on ads, and I don't get invited to "Accept" anything.
 
Gin, I think it's just you. I have no probs on my cheapo Samsung tablet or Motorola Android phone (I'm much to cheap for apple stuff). I occasioally have to enter name and password for no apparent reason. Suggest you log out and log back in. I don't use adblockers as I feel its unfair to the site host. If we all did so the site would close.

But if that is the case why are so many others reporting similar experiences when, I guess, no settings have been changed. I think I’ve always played the game fairly and nevertheless having to ‘accept’ at every login/initiation that I must click, the last few days have gone absolutely haywire . The mystery is of course , why do some escape and others do not? I’m no IT ace so I cannot offer a logical explanation
I reckon the host/moderator should intercede and offer an explanation

If whoever runs this site (it says "TI (UK) Ltd" at the bottom of the page but that's a tiny company in north London) were to be more responsible about the extent of advertising on the site, many of us might switch our adblockers off.
 
Had problems for the last 36hrs on iPad but finally cured it with ‘Purify’, another ad blocker. Costs £1.99 but I’d have given up with the forum entirely if I hadn’t.
PS I didn’t get any issues with an Android phone.
 
I may have found a solution? I haven’t ever used ad blockers on this site by the way, nor in the following
In desperation I have logged in using ‘Brave’ browser and so far no ‘Accept’ demands have flagged up.
I have no idea why this should be but perhaps others will try this free browser and report back too

Revisited this site reverting to Safari- still plagued with ‘Accept’ demands- then returned using’Brave’ and all still good- no ‘Accept’ appear

Android on tablet. Changed over to Brave browser, no 'accept' popups, thanks.
