To whom it may concern... the pop up asking me to disable adblock used to only show up on the main page even as i'm logged in, it now shows up while i'm viewing a thread or on the forum and just today wont allow me to "continue without supporting". As someone who PAYS to use this site please stop antagonizing me and make it so this pop up quits showing up for platinum members... I will not disable adblock and if the insult continues i may stop supporting altogether...
Thanks

*TS Edit: @jei what does "whitelisting this site" actually mean? If I allow an exemption with adblock will I get the invasive and unbearable adds even as a plat? Or will I not get ads but by "whitelisting" allow some kind of access otherwise not available to your end?
This issue seems to be only on PC. As stated below, the problem can be worked around by refreshing multiple times until the option to "continue without supporting us" is there.
The pop up can show up on the main page, hovering on the forum, and in a specific thread and seems kinda random but, recently much more regularly, to the tune of every time I'm on and multiple times once it's closed.
I get that a site needs to fund itself and I appreciate this site so I decided to show that and pay for it. Been paying for three or four years. I don't click any adds on any site, thus the add blocker. Ppc, conversions, leads, etc, I have some understanding of the internet marketing world and this "issue" seems lazy and frankly, insulting. Not just to a paid members but any member. There has to be better ways to make revenue than ostracizing the users. Certainly less invasive ways...
This site is part of all of our lives to varying degrees and it would be a shame for something like this to damage any relationships. Please let me know if I can help in any way to resolve this issue. Screen caps, patterns, etc...
*Edit #2: Problem seems to be solved, thanks @jei for having our backs! greatly appreciated...
