Sorry to hear that. Please bear in mind that Hobby Machinist is operated off the donations of members and ad revenue from non-donating members. This is so that members like you can enjoy the endless content that is posted here everyday which comes at a non-trivial operating cost.
With that said, we do not utilize pop-up ads on our site. While we do make extensive use of Google ads for Guests and Registered non-donating members, we do not use pop-ups. There may be another window in your browser making those appear if those are interfering with your viewing experience.
There is good news here. A recent change we made here at H-M is that all donating member levels are now AD-FREE. For as little as a $10 donation per year, you can experience H-M with NO ADS. For $150 per year, you will be come a Lifetime Member AD-FREE and there are other options in between.
Hopefully this clears up what is going on with ads and why you are seeing them.
