Good to know. I actually could not remember the site name at the time.

Thanks saggy, it works for me apart from the fact i went to KBB.com to look up a car value last and it would not let me proceed without removing the add blocker, too bad just went to another site and got the info i needed.
Button next to URL allowing you to disable for a particular site when needed. Glad it worked for you ........

It appears they were able to resolve the ads overlaying part of the first post on each page.  Thank you!

See the link:
About Google Ads
The ads are inserted by Google, and our host may have little or no control over it.
At the top right of each ad are two tiny control buttons - you can close the ad or go to a Google settings page. When you close an ad, Google asks you why you closed it. I have not had time to check out the Google settings. I'm pretty sure it is browser based, depending on a Google add-on (or should it be "ad-ON"?)

The ads also lay on top of a portion of the first post on each page in a thread on my iPhone 6 iOS 9.3.5 while in portrait mode.  The attached picture will likely be turned sideways but the admins will get the idea.  Please resolve.  And don't say "just use landscape mode" either, that's not fixing the problem.  I usually only use landscape mode when posting (which is rare).  So the majority of my viewing is done in portrait.

Am I missing something here? I see an LL Bean ad, but not anything to do with mightymouse. 

Why are you always trying to stir the pot?

It's possible one of your browser add-ons/extensions is injecting ads into your views. Try disabling them and returning to the page. Of course if MiniMania is the only page that is doing this, then that's a different matter...

I have the same ads popping up with no change in settings either.

Each thread I open has external advertisement content.  I never had this before, neither Resoration Mini nor the UK forums I visit have this, I haven't altered any browser settings, and I find it both comical and annoying.  

I've attached an example - upon 'refreshing' a thread or opening a new thread, there's a new advertisement, so maybe a bureau is providing the input.
