Woohoo! It works! Yup, Adblock is the real deal. Thanks, everyone, for helping one very frustrated old guitar player. I truly love this website, and am glad I am able to use it once more. Like I said, folks, I owe you one!

I am using a laptop with Windows 10, Chrome browser, and am going to install Adblock immediately. Thanks for the advice, folks. If this works, I owe you one.

It is not that I object to advertising. i understand the need for it to keep an otherwise free site running. It is the fact that I cannot keep the page from abruptly shifting to the bottom of the page, and hence the video ad, while I am in the middle of playing a song. Advertising is fine, but when it nullifies being able to use the website it inhabits, I am at a loss to understand why it is allowed. I love Chordie, and have used it for many years, but if it is no longer going to be usable due to ads that hijack the page, I may sadly have to find another website that is still functional in its purpose. Please do not take this as a rant, but as a heartfelt plea to review the techniques that some of your advertisers employ that make your service very frustrating, if not impossible, to use....

Just logged on & tried to go through some songbooks, but there is an ad video at the top and bottom of the page that insist on playing. I get one to stop, but a minute later, it starts again, or the other one starts. Then, the page starts jumping around, and wont stay in one place. Any page is constantly " waiting for ads to load". This website has become a disappointment, unless someone can tell me how to get it to stop being a cesspool of aggressive advertising that makes it utterly useless...
