How much more annoying stuff you're going to push on people?

I use this service 3-4 times a year, I have asked a million times to stop with the ridiculous ask to authenticate every time i try to use it, every other service that needs authentication on GC its done once and that's it, this thing asks for it over and over, figure it out to only do it once, and now you want me to disable my adblock, and throw the pop up in my face 5 times on every page? Its seriously ridiculous. I pay my GC Premium for the past 16 years, i don't see any reasonable reason to pay for this service that I hardly use in a year.

That the authentication "dies" after a set amount of time is a safety feature AFAIK. That other services don't care about your safety should be the concern.

Regarding the ad-block it's not uncommon to have popups for ad-block and if you don't want to pay for a service and don't want to see the ads you'll generally have to live with the nagscreens of different kinds. Most services don't allow you to use the site at all when you have the combination of adblock and "free membership" since ads are the price you pay for the service. The GC-premium does not include Project-GC and if you don't want to use the service provided by Project-GC you're free to skip it.

I'm just a user but I really don't understand what you think you are trying to make happen here.

To fix the ad blocker problem edit your ad blocker settings to allow ads at Project-gc. You won't get any ads, as you are a paid member, but allowing them stops that annoying message from appearing.

If you re-read the OP you'll realize that they have premium at Geocaching.com and not at Project-GC so they will still get adds. They don't want to pay for Project-GC but they also don't want to experience the adds.
