Fair enough, I suppose we do display minimal advertising. Still, it should be noted that these are sourced from a pool of community content creators and served as non-intrusive static images. We genuinely believe they may be of some interest to the community (though it'd be fair to say we should update and maybe expand the selection at some point, but that's not a priority at the moment). These placements are offered at no cost, so we do not rely on them as a means of financial support. As such, anybody is more than welcome to block them if they find them particularly troublesome.
My apology for the self-quote but the last sentence in my post was in the form of a question that I hoped would generate a response. I consider it to be the most important part of the post, which is why I placed it last.
Thanks, Sarge.
I am not using an ad-blocker but right-clicking to open the login page DOES work. I have no idea why that is the case, but I'm happy to do that if it gets me where I want to be. It would not have occurred to me to even try doing that, so I thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate everyone's input and consider this issue resolved.
