You can go into your Google profile, ad settings, and turn of personalized ads. You'll still get them, but allegedly they won't be targeted towards you.

Wow that VEA transfer was lightening fast Joe. You're on the top of your game today. Wow, I had only posted it 1 or 2 min before you zipped across. I'm impressed.

OK I'm being a good ASF community member by allowing adds to be shown on my browser. Occasionally, surprise, surprise, there's an ad that I'm interested in and click on it to see more information.
When I'm finished, I close the ad site and to my disappointment I've no access to ASF because the ad has used the same tab as ASF.
Is there someway that I can make all ad clicks create their on browser tab so I don't lose the ASF tab?

Can you right click your mouse on the ad and select, open in new tab or open in new window?

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your support.
My understanding is that with the Google Adsense ads that this is not possible as it is intended that they open in the same browser tab.
However, if you go the "History" section of your browser you should see the recent websites you have visited and ASF should show in this list (being your most recently visited website) and you should be able to easily return to the page you were browsing on ASF prior to your visit to the advertiser.

ASF has partnered with Investing.com and there will be more changes coming when we upgrade to the new software.

Investing.com looks like a good site, the new ASX one is a pain for watchlists as you cant edit numbers, like price paid and number of units..

I've noticed something different recently (last few days). I'm getting pop-up ads when I click on random thread titles or random post titles. These pop-up ads appear in the middle of the screen and darken the forum content. Luckily for Joe and ASF they don't take me away from ASF.
Is this just me, using Chrome or are others seeing it also?

Haven't seen that at home on the PC, but I remember seeing that sort of thing a couple of weeks ago when using my phone. I think it was this forum.

Has been like that on my phone for a while
Click on a link, page or tab bully taken over by ad, click on ad top close cross, and the asf page appears nuisance and so my agreement to pay subscription to see it diseappear if option is available
Using Chrome on smartphone
My real bugger is the keyboard behaviour where I can not type without weird behaviour
I believe it is linked to latency and phone autocomplete.
And time of the day..so latency?
Only on asf and only on smartphone
Could it be linked to the fact asf tries to detect @name of asf user during typing?

On mobile devices this sometimes happens but it is not supposed to happen on desktop PCs. I am currently investigating further to ensure that popup ads do not display on desktop PCs.
Please let me know if you see any.

the randomness is unusual and, by definition I guess, unpredictable. I can live with it, but one absolutely annoying aspect is the X to delete the ad is directly in front of the LOG OUT button. Hit the X and sometimes it doesn't disappear; hit it twice because of delay (I am an impatient person) and I'm logged out. That's on the mobile, btw.
