hostthenpost is not working

I just logged into my Postimage account and also checked my posting in these forums with screenshots hosted on PostImage - no ads, no popups, no malware

I can assume then that once you are signed up the ads go away.

Curiouser and curiouser. I just accessed the Postimage site with another browser, one I rarely use, and uploaded an image without logging in or creating an account. Still no popups, ads or malware.

Interesting...What browser were you using?

Yikes! postimage.org is loaded down with pop-ups and ads. some for images of girls. My anti-malware software went nuts.

I recently did a lot of on-line shopping at Lowes. When I went to postimage.org I got pop-up pics of stuff I shopped for at Lowes.

If you are getting images of girls...

Nothing showing if you use an adblocker.

I would agree but I'm on a machine that was just re-formatted.

Or use the Brave browser. Normally this is what I use. Occasionally I'll retry Windows Edge to see if it is getting any better...I'm usually disappointed.

Normally use Firefox. On this occasion I switched to Edge.

I find that often occurs on some sites. If you look at the "ad" do you see a small "i" icon in the top right corner that, when you hover the mouse over, up pops "Ads by Google"? These ads are tailored to your most recent Google searches. They can popup on sites that do not use any advertising - somehow Google is taking over the world.

You can get rid of Targeted Google ads if you have a Google Account.

Thank you for that idea. I just tried it, a very opaque (not at all clear) and difficult process to navigate through but I finally managed to opt out of ads from almost all 100+ members of the Digital Advertising Alliance (which I never knew existed before this).
