Leaving DU for now.....just too frustrating right now. Everytime I click on a DU post I get a screen at the bottom of my laptop screen that blocks out portions of posts. Have to cliick x to get rid of dang screen. Also I don't see any ads.....what I have instead is blank boxes wiith circles in the middle of blank boxes.
