Don't forget about the Computer forum if you need help Glenda. Sounds like a lot of trouble. I haven't seen it yet but I'm coming to you for help if I do, so you'd better not give up. : )

What browser are you using Glenda?

I am using Firefox.

I had to disable AdBlock Plus for this page only before I could log in.

I contacted the administrator of GW. She asked if it would accept my membership............gads, that was no help. I have been a member for years.

Do you have the No-script add on? It makes things much easier to block.
With adblock, flashblock and noscrpt I hardly get any popups or flashing ads and if I do it only takes 2-3 clicks to block them.
