Hello. For a couple months now --sporadically before but consistently now -- and only on this site, whenever I open a page an opaque "cover page" covering about 20% of the (lower) screen opens, with a DOWN feature on the left, that I have to manually hit to make it go away.
This is very annoying. Can anyone tell me how to eliminate this issue?
I use Chrome on Windows 11 & do not ever have this issue elsewhere.

It sounds like you're describing the pop-up add but without the add. Mine is never 20%, but the add size doesn't adjust with the window, so if you're using a smaller window, that could explain the size. |

Thank you for the reply. I do use ADblockPlus.
"It sounds like you're describing the pop-up add but without the add."
I don't understand what you mean.
"the add size doesn't adjust with the window, so if you're using a smaller window, that could explain the size ..."
I don't understand this either.
Maybe you could explain in a different way so my thickness might be pierced?
Note: I do increase page size to either 125% or 150% if this is related to your reply.

Here goes my first post. Yeah it sounds like the ad banner and your adblocker is preventing the normal "X to close window". Consider disabling your adblocker for just this site in your settings. You'll be able to close out of the ad quicker (and the opaque banner) plus you'll be supporting the site a bit.

Don’t blame the best website on the internet for a user error. 😂

So you' re saying the banner is inevitable, it will have an ad with my adblocker off & will be opaque with it on? But essentially, it comes with the site? |

You're seeing the add banner, but not the add, because you have the add blocked - that's why it's a blank white banner (although half of it is semi-transparent for me - this also scales with the zoom and window size). Your increased page size is the reason it's so large. If you reduce the page size OR stretch your window so it's taller, it will become less offensive. I barely notice it at 100% page size with a window that uses ~80% of my 27" 1080 monitor. If you can get by at 110%, that may be the sweet spot. You can't completely close the add. If you hit the down arrow on the left side of it (just like the rest of us who see the add) it pops right back up when you load a new page. This is intentional to receive the greatest amount of visibility. |
