Ads blocking blog content?
-
I am getting calls and emails from some folks that follow my blog that Ads are not allowing them to see the blog content. I go into my blog and don’t see any ads or anything blocking my blog. Before upgrading to an annual fee to suppress ads (that may or may not fix their issue) i would like to understand what others are seeing when they go on my blog.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi!
Could you have one or more of the affected users submit a screenshot of the issue? Instructions for creating a screenshot can be found here:
Once I can see what the notice they’re seeing looks like, I’ll be able to help more!

Just saying … I can’t see any evidence of this using IE11, Chrome 36 or Firefox 31. -
Thank you for the responses. I just sent an email to some of those users that were telling me about the “ad(s)” issue and have asked them to try to do a screenshot capture and then send it to me. Most of these folks are not very good with computers so it might be a challenge getting a screenshot from them. I asked them to call me when they are in front of the computer and maybe I can walk them through capturing the screen and then we can see what they are seeing. Stay tuned!

@mooncars – Sounds great! Also, I would ask them if they could check their browser version by visiting this site:
They will want to make sure they’re using one of the most up-to-date versions, which are listed here:
As @Timethief mentioned, I think this is probably a browser/malware issue of some sort. I’m not seeing any adds blocking your content on Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.

These ads are sometimes caused by malware or a virus, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that has been installed in a browser. These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:
