Anyone else keep getting this?

I was getting that in Chrome and Edge until I remembered that I have an ad blocking app (not an extension, an app that blocks addresses via the hosts file) installed and enabled. I opened it, whitelisted "hfboards.com" and the pop-up no longer showed. If you don't have an app like that installed, there are third-party browsers that you can switch to, at least to visit this site. I like Kiwi Browser, myself, because it supports desktop Chrome extensions.
 
I can assure you that we have people investigating.

I also apologize for the issue - it shouldn't be happening.
It's been days now... I haven't been visiting because it's too annoying to deal with. Just disable the nag screen for everyone for now if the admins can't figure out what is broken. It suddenly broke Friday night - someone must have done something that broke it. Just revert the changes.

What would I be whitelisting for HF, exactly? Shouldn’t it be a blacklist, to remove that popup?

I'm not talking about a popup blocker, but an app (like AdAway) that blocks ads across the whole system, not just the browser. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you likely aren't using one and can just ignore me.

just disable your adblocker for HF... you won't get the ads since you're a sponsor. it's literally no-lose for you
 
Typical HF. They nuke the site and barely manage to scrape some of the content back, and now every 5 seconds they’re telling you to turn off ad blocker.
