It seems that the problems with aggressive advertising are continuing even though the administrator has been trying to fix them. For some of us this has made the site extremely difficult to use and at times impossible. Until the problem gets fixed, I can suggest a remedy.
For those using a laptop or desktop pc or mac - download AdBlock plus as an ad-on to your browser. IE, firefox, chrome, opera etc. and even safari. This will knock out all of the ads even the tolerable ones from Amazon. Go To:
https://adblockplus.org
For those using an android or iOS device there is also a solution. For android devices you can download Adblock plus for android. Go to:
https://adblockplus.org/android-install
Adblock plus says they are coming out with a version for iOS in the future.
For those using iOS such as an iPhone or iPad you can go to the app store and download a new browser - the AdBlock browser that will kill the ads. There is a short free trial period but after that you will have to purchase the pro version.
A better alternative, in my opinion, is the use of speed me up. It's free and and will take care of all the ads. It's what I am using on my iPad. It can also be used on android devices. For instructions go to.

No download is involved. Follow the instructions to just define a proxy server in your list of wi-fi networks. The site says that this will speed up your browsing in general. By the way this only works with wi-fi.
Good luck.
