Last time we opened paltalk it asked if we wanted to upgrade. We clicked on no but it did it anyway!!!! So we are now stuck with he pop-ups too although I automatically close the window. The blurb that appeared in a recent e-mail from paltalk said they were about to change the service as they were not making money hence the pop ups but said we could opt for no adverts if we paid a subscription-needless to say I put up with the adverts and ignore them!
