Basically as title says, I've been asked twice, without being able to close it, had to refresh then quickly press post new thread to make this, before stopped by an uncloseable popup ad, telling me to stop my adblocker(even though all It is the browser "Brave" which I HAVE to use SOLEY for Sherdog, because the intrusive ads are abso-fucking-lutely stupid and on EVERY page, otherwise I don't have an ad blocker, but if I can't use "Brave", or sherdog continues to refuse to listen to posters complaints about the extremely rampant intrusive ads, I will leave, as will plenty of others I imagine)


Just started happening recently today, anyone else having this problem?

Same here. If you look at the notice, there's a link you can click, written is generic type, that says something like "continue to sherdog" and that'll get rid of the popup, at least for while. It's the last line of text on the left side from the center of the popup.
 
I had the same problems a couple times, for whatever reason they only tend to last for a few days or a week then go away for long periods of time. But when I'd tried to post the screen would jump back up and other times it would just take me to some spam page and pop-ups. I downloaded Brave for Sherdog to and then Brave stopped working or had some weird kinks with Sherdog, so I went back to chrome on my phone and it's fine again, for now.
 
I'll say what I did in the war room.

The fucking incredibly intrusive and mobile-unfriendly ads this place uses, there's a lot of fucking nerve to start throwing "disable adblocker" popups at us now.

Like if someone who kept running at you with a knife started screaming at you to stop wearing a stab vest.

Or, the woman that tells you that you don't need a condom is when you especially need one.

I got it like 4 windows in a row, so I don't know about 'for a while'

Hey, at least it isn't the random "lucky winner" redirect that was happening on like 60-80% of clicks that would last for weeks at a time, then disappear and come back, and get absolutely zero attention from above.

Yeah, I'm getting the pop-up. Not as bad as when it did this before, but blocked the option to continue without disabling it, though.

I honestly don't even mind ads, just as long as they don't kill the pages. Sherdog has some whoppers,though. I don't know how people use this site without ad blockers.

I've gotten the notice a couple of times today . . . even as a plat member.
 
I'm getting it, too.

I remember this happening years ago. I seem to remember that admin said it was against the rules to use an ad-blocker, so they didn't really rush to answer complaints. I'm not sure if that's still a rule.

Haha I used to get this same shit, it's what lead to me downloading Brave which then stopped working on Sherdog too.
