I use firefox and linux so I do not know how you install one for windows. But it will be for whatever your browser is, i.e. firefox, chrome, chromium, windows explorer, opera etc.
Mine is in add ons and you search for and install it. I use ABP.

Thanks again Marianne Seemingly....Windows 10 (edge) doesn't allow adblockers at the moment but are going to at some stage! I was told to install windows 10 and then do something else which I refused to do as I have windows 10! Sheesh.......and really don't want to change my isp in case it causes more problems! for now I shall put up with the ad's but there are far too many, everywhere!

It's got nothing to do with your ISP, that means internet service provider. It's the browser that you're using that needs the adblocker.
Like I said though, I'm no windows expert, sorry.
I'm not really supposed to advise that people have adblockers because the ads are how proboards make their revenue, being a free forum.

Of course, silly me! I don't want to change that either, just yet, I'm on contract However it's Windows 10 that's the problem it seems...for now! I'll check again sometime.

Seems like the more microsoft change their systems, the more they want power over them so that you can't change things. I'm glad I don't use windows!

I have been able to add an adblocker! Don't ask me how but will update it with Windows own version when it comes out! In the meantime it allows me to block the ad's on this website and I now have this at the top of the page, which isn't strictly true as I had video's showing and they were a nuisance for me! I hope this doesn't cause any problems with Proboards? Please consider supporting this website by disabling your ad-blocker. This website does not use audio ads, popups, or other annoyances.

That's the standard message that proboards displays when you use an adblocker.
