Is this right?

Progressive Agriculture Foundation

I read on the other thread, that has since been locked, to give you the address of weird ads that keep popping up when I click on a thread. As I'm kind of clueless when it comes to computers I'm hoping I have this right.
This one popped up when I tried to click on a thread in the rabbit forum.
Should I continue to copy the addresses in this forum?
TIA

Yes please. If you see an ad that is bad or really strange, the link is needed so it can be isolated by Chuck as soon as he gets time to review and take actions.

What's wrong with the Progressive Agricultural Foundation?

All I saw when I opened the link was a promotion for a safety program for kids on farms.

What am I missing?

I'm confused........

Some people have issues = Chuck will review when he gets a minute or three. He's invoived with family at this time, so it could be a few days before he has a chance to be at a full laptop or computer to check them out. Once he sees them, he can decide.

I have no idea what might, if anything, might be wrong with them. All I know is these sites have just popped up out of nowhere when I clicked on a thread.

you are seeing an ad at the top of a forum, or between the 1st post and 2nd post on any page of a thread? If this is what you are seeing that's normal.

Like a pop up? Cause Chuck really does not like pop up ads.

It may be malware on your system...we don't do popup ads here. IF you are sure it's coming from HT, I will check with our advertisers.

Firstly, I have to confess to being clueless when it comes to computers.
Those two ads that I posted here came up when I clicked on a thread to read it. I'm not sure if that's what you call a "pop-up", but that's what happens.
Also Chuck, I don't know what malware is, but this doesn't happen on any other sites I visit.

A popup is a new window, or does this ad "popup" on top of the thread you are reading?

I guess it must be on top of the thread because when I click it off the thread I wanted is there.

So it is part of the thread itself, which is a Ad and really not a popup ad.
Ads appear on almost any thread on here. But I have "Ad Blocker" so I never see any myself.

No, I'm not talking about the ads at the top or middle of the pages. These came up when I clicked on an actual thread in one of the forums; as if I had clicked on an ad. When I clicked out of it the thread I was trying to click on was there open.

Express Employment Franchise Opportunities in Massachusetts

This one just opened up while I was reading a thread in the Politics forum. I didn't click on any ads, it just opened up by itself. Are they supposed to do that? And why has it just started happening recently?
