Ads are getting ridiculous

Sort:

I understand that advertisements bring in a lot of money for chess.com. However, the ads that I'm starting to see are becoming way more distracting and bothersome when navigating the sight. I think I simply went to a different page and was hit with a fullscreen pop-up ad that really annoyed me. Chess.com shouldn't be increasing the ads on the non-paying members, as many of us have payed in the past and will pay in the future. When I have time to study chess more, I pay for the full subscription. I just don't want HUGE ads slapping me around every turn. It shouldn't be an incentive to push me back into paying for a membership.

Try playing on an iPhone if you have one. Ads aren't a problem on the one I have and it's fairly primitive (3G)

I'm a premium member and still see tons of ads embedded in the text. The original poster's question has three embedded ads in it. Chess Mentor has them too, which is very distracting. Why are you adding ads to a product that I have to pay $100 for? If this continues I will NOT be a return customer.

Those generally come from a skype browser addon they aren't coming from chess.com. Have you got skype enabled on your computer?

Thank you, I should have googled my problem before expressing my frustration. I appreciate your help and detract my contempt :)
