Random geometric patterns when openining HST

When logging into HST on my IMAC I am getting random geometric patterns. This doses not happen with any other websites or when logging on with my IPhone. Any suggestions to remedy?

can you capture a picture of the patterns? Is your Imac sw up to date? how old is the Imac?
Does it happen every time you log in?

Just opened it up since I posted and no issue so can't do screenshot but when it happens it is different. Yes iMac is up to date though several years old. No not all the time but 9 times out of 10. Important thing to me is that this is the only site it happens with.

I am not getting random geometric patterns, rather, I am getting the most in-your-face take-over-the-screen ads of any site I visit.
Can't this be notched down a bit? I did/ I am willing to support with an annual subscription.

Completely agree about the ads - I keep trying to turn off my ad blocker, but the level of ad annoyance on this site is greater than any other I visit, and I can't handle it. Would be thrilled to offer an annual financial donation instead, as I used to.

I use a Mac (~2013 version) and haven't had the random geometric pattern problem. Could it be that you have some sort of ad blocker that "fuzzes out" the ads? (I don't have an ad blocker).

Same here with the pop-up ads. One of the more obnoxious i've encountered. Has anyone looked into it?

I suspect the pop ups are from google auto ads. I contacted Eric about them with a suggestion for how to turn off, as he’s the gatekeeper to the account to do so. Ball is in his court now

FYI since I first posted have not had the issue.

Well it started up again! Using Safari as my browser. Again this only happens with HST. I used Firefox just now to get to site and no issue.
