Invasive Advertising

This has now got so bad when accessing the site from abroad on my phone that pprune has become completely unusable.

Each page will load for c. 5 seconds, and then I'll be taken to some woeful bit of dodgy advertising for virus software, or a free phone, or a longer penis - two of which I don't need.

The adverts are so invasive that they won't let you click back to the page you were on. So then you have to re-load pprune and the whole thing happens again.

This is a serious flaw and it's time for management to stop accepting money from advertisers who are clearly attempting to illicitly make gains from users. No legitimate advertiser could operate in this way.
