I've been holding out on getting ad blockers, as much as anything because my employer occasionally pops up and I love the idea of them sending RailWire money.  Unfortunately the combination of those intrusive full screen ads and the incessant Temu ads were the last straws.

I'll once again move for a true RailWire Plaid.  I want to financially support the site, but those ads have become too much.

Hmmmm - not to jinx myself or anything, but I have to say that I have never, not once, experienced anything like you fellas have been describing.  I’ve been active on TRW on a daily basis throughout this entire timeframe, and nada (luckily).  Maybe we Canadians are immune or exempt!

The full page ads have seemed to stop after Tom made his tweak.

these banner ads are getting out of hand.   inappropriate as well.  no amount of clicking to push back seems to work.

Especially the ad for a $680 LEGO model of the Titanic.
