This is my third attempt to ask about why BF is now blocking posted pictures with video adds about tea . I have to sit through an add to view a photo.Then when I go to post my draft is deleted and I have to sign in again with everything I wrote LOST! The only way around this is to do what I am doing now, post and edit so I don't get dropped! I used to be able to restore previous post after I was dropped but that option is no longer available. This inquiry took 4 edits to post so I would not be inadvertently dropped. Then I am forced to start over. Other members have complained of this issue and nothing has changed , i fact it is now worse than ever! Joe

The sign in thing seems like you did not click "Remember Me" when signing in or are not accepting cookies.

So what's the exact issue here? It seems like this is multiple things that are being conflated. Where are you being made to watch an advert before viewing a photo? Please link me to that photo.

It seriously sounds like you're infected with something that is hijacking your browser.

I just ran a scan of the Mac and it is clean, no threats . This condition exists for others that have complained on this forum and my other devices , iPad, iPhone. It is getting worse or so it seems. The site is heavily "burdened" with adds and I understand it is about generating $$ so we can enjoy the forum, which I do, it just seems that at some point the frustration will out weigh the enjoyment.

I just viewed this thread: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...today-266.html
And even as a logged out user, I didn't have to watch a video advert before viewing a photo. Are you accepting cookies from the site?

Maybe your router is then hijacked (infected with malware). Have you tried with the router/wifi off and using the mobile network of your phone?
