• Most of you have noticed the huge annoying Xwinner.com ad at the top of the page.
  
  If you want to remove it, you need to install an add-on for your browser.
  
  I use the Firefox browser.  Hit ctrl - shift - a 
  
  that will bring up the add-ons.  Click Extensions then search in the upper right, "adguard adblocker" and install.
  
  After it's installed, you just need to right-click the ad select ad blocker and tell it to block the ad image.
  
  Im sure chrome has a similar procedure.
  
  If you still use IE or "Edge" RIP

  Did Mitch find someone else to operate the forum?

• From the small amount of investigating that i've done, the ad is there because we arent paying create-a-forum.  Just a guess.

• I use Google Chrome.
  After initiating Ad-Blocker, all looks good now.
  
  -Just pulled down the menu from top right triple dots.
  -Clicked on settings
  - Clicked on Extensions
  -Enabled AdBlock
  
  Then first time opening the site, AdBlock walked me thru the steps to identify this Add, and get rid of it.
  Now, when I open the site, the add briefly attempts to show, but it goes away instantly.
  
  I'm loving it.....
