Ads problem
Not all the time, but I am getting a lot of the ads on the left side of the screen that are partially covering the text in the pages I click on.
Don't know how to do a screen shot, and I bet you can't teach me. Haha!
Wonder if anyone else is getting this.

Yep, that's happening to me too.. Using either Chrome or IE. Thought it was an adware bug, but nothing on my scans with Malewarebytes..
It seems to be the "AdChoices" that's doing it..
I don't mind the ads, as that's how they pay for the site and keep it free for us...
But, it's a PITA when it covers the upper part of the whole screen.
If I close the browser and open again, it fixes itself, but after awhile, it starts again.

How did you get my picture? And aren't you supposed to be picking on KMAC or something?
Funny thing is since I complained about it, it hasn't happened again, go figure.
Plus by the time it does it again I will have forgotten how to do that screen shot thingie. Man it sucks to be old.

Yer screenshot can be 'pasted' into an image program like Paint. Resize/crop/annotate if desired and save as a *.jpg file. Or if the tool allows direct "save as" file creation, just do that (like the Snipping tool does).
Once you have a filename, just follow this: https://www.f150online.com/forums/qu...-pictures.html

Well MGD it looks like I'm winning the bet so far! haha
