@Spurt.

I'm so sorry! 

That is the maddening thing about this website. Sometimes nothing we do or try what others say, works. Some say they never have any problem or suggest this or that but nope! Nothing works.

The only thing I found comforting after trying over and over to fix my

problem with not seeing the images when signing in,(and still unable to fix), is reading that sometimes the new software that

a company installs does not work for everyones individual device.

And even people with the same device can have no problems, while others do!

I'm really surpised I was able to get rid of that annoying pop-up but not through any adblocker which I already had.

It's the twilight zone around here.

Thanks for your concern, you're on chromebook with Google's ChromeOS and I'm on Windows 11 probably reason for different results.

@Spurt,

Did you just post about adding a free app from the chromebook web store? Then it disappeared.

Anyway, I hope it helps?

I didn't know about a chromebook webstore so that is good information. Thanks for letting me know. We'll just keep on keeping on

Yes but I was reading about it and someone warned that while they wont transfer your info to third parties it doesnt stop them from sending tons of emails about their company offers....so you can't win for losing.... 🤷‍♀️

@Spurt,

It's always something! I like to always read reviews (for everything!) especially the 1 and 2 star ones that can be so telling.

I read reviews for the Topadblock and am glad I didn't get it.

In the past (and probably still), some websites counted clicks, and anything that generated clicks was viewed as a good thing. In that manner, forcing us to click on ads every time we move to a different page on the forum might be beneficial to those who benefit from the site getting more clicks. "I'm pleased to report that our changes have resulted in a ten percent increase in clicks." They may not care if they're annoying us, as long as they get their clicks.

personally, I think we all need to email in to corporate, or to social team. Does anyone know an effective address to send complaints?  I am sick of it. They aren't a normal pop up they just aren't.  They are a nuisance ad, that is made so removal is only done by intentional click on that ****** X.  Who,ever they hire to do this ad I am sure is in charge with their email gluts of notifications. The only difference is is at least with the emails you can opt out

I have AdGuard on all except my Kindle.

I do not get any popups or ads.

It is free.

If we are going online and don't use a blocker, we should expect pop ups.  That's the way of it.

@RespectLife 

But when you have Ad/popupblocker and you STILL get them then its irritating....

Something thats a little bit off the subject.....On You Tube its a violation to use an AD Blocker, but they have ads soliciting AD Blockers.... 😂

@Spurt  I have Ad Blockers, have my settings set to block pop ups , I have duck duck  go, and I still get those darn ads from here. I have no problem anywhere else, ever!   I can go to online newspaper even and it looks like blank spots everywhere. All ads. Pop ups, and meme type ads and such are gone.

@RespectLife,

I think for you and others who keep insisting that an adblocker or plus will work, you are very lucky.

For all of us that have those and more in settings, it still does not.

And for all those saying clear cookies and cash, including the mods when you email them about it, that does nothing!

It is all the glitches in the Q's software or whatever that are causing problems with some, not all. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that can be done with our own device or browser or cookies cache block-ups to the hilt!

I wish people will get that but if they don't have the problem it is assumed it is something that can be fixed from our end. It cannot.

And yes, it is only problems with QVC's website and the forums and has been this way for ages.

Frustrating to say the least!

However, yesterday they must have changed something because now instead of every time I post or read, that awful pop-up comes on only when I first come on so hoping at least that continues. Maybe they actually paid attention to the many many complaints about it!

I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you   I've used AdBlock Plus for years and years and have no popups/ads.  Have you gone thru the settings to see if there is anything you need to change?  I suppose what I would do is go to their forum or see if they have a Reddit group and explain in as much detail that you can, that it's not working on this website.  Other websites?  I sent a screen shot of my screen on this forum.  It's totally clean except for the CS stuff at the bottom.
