I am sure now there are pornographic dating sites popping up when I open up a tab and come to wizardofvegas.com.
It doesn't happen every time, but occasionally and only recently.

Yes, I have reported this. Brave and Firefox browsers will block the activity.

I was just made aware of this about 10 minutes ago and reported it to the highest powers that be.

I first saw the problem on firefox (I sill have an old version as a newer one caused more problems than it solved, so I backed it out). I've just logged on using Opera and that doesn't seem to have the problem.

btw under Opera when not signed in some of the white text was unreadable on the light grey/pink background (e.g. https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/questions-and-answers/math/34502-easy-math-puzzles/72/ the text "This is in a European language:" and "Uspostaviti denominacije kovanica takve da zahtijeva minimalni broj kovanica danih dvoje ljudi tako da jedan može kupiti od drugog bilo što u rasponu od jedne do tisuću novčića" cannot be seen on any of the three occasions.)

Charlie, I posted that and it was intentional on my part - it was intended to be a part of the puzzle that you had to solve, as was the croatian language version of the puzzle statement. Sorry for the confusion.

Luckily I didn't have a problem seeing the text as when I'm logged on I use a black/dark background. Sadly I've only been as far as Hungary and Slovakia when I drove to ABBAworld in Gyor a few years ago.
