No pop-ups with stars. At least not with two.

Get an ad blocker

I am using AdBLock+/

These are not popup ads; they are embedded in the web page to the right.

I use AdBlock Plus and don't see anything.

Because you have a star

People view texags on something besides their phone

I'd assume so. I have stars and have never had anything like what the OP describes and I don't have an ad blocker

Why would they advertise to people so poor that they don't have stars? Seems counter-intuitive.

poor people are poor because they purchase dumb ***** It actually makes sense to not spend advertising on us well off folks. The poors, on the other hand, are less likely to buy something useful, like a $5/month star, and instead but something, they don't need, from advertising.

You make a good point with respect to the gullibility of those poors without stars and how they react to advertising. Have a star on me.

It seems to be specific to Internet Explorer (v11). Not sure why, the adblocker is enabled and working for other sites.

Not doing the same under Firefox or Chrome....

I think that only affected non-mobile versions. Considering OP, you are probably correct

Back when I actually read texags on a computer I still used the mobile site. Regular has waaaaay too much clutter.

Nobody should be getting pop-up ads. I know you didn't ask that specifically, but others have mentioned it.

We do allow auto-play video ads without sound on desktop, but not mobile.

If anyone sees pop-up ads or video ads that DO have sound, take a screenshot and send it to stewart@texags.com and we will remove them - we have to report those and remove them individually.
