Adverts making the forum unusable.

[ferg]

I know they pay the bills but there are so many it's making the forum unpleasant to visit.

Forum sponsors on the RHS.
A banner type thing at the bottom that I can minimise.
A banner at the bottom of every post.
Ads in the middle of posts.

At one point I had 2 lines of text on the screen and the rest was adverts
.

I feel left out...I don't get any adverts at all!

I can't seem to find an appropriate emoji for that comment that won't get me banned

Is it because I log in on a desktop or laptop, both of which have adblockers, rather than a phone?
I have to assume so...

I find ad blocker to be 100% effective on firefox, but not quite so good on Sumsung browser.

Does being a “supporter” make a difference, Pirate?

It fixes the problem entirely.

I use Chrome on Android and get no adverts. The site is very usable.

The patron flag has an effect though I think.

Chrome on a Windows PC with an adblocker. No ads at all, except for 6 small forum sponsor ads in a short column on the top right of every page.
Android phone is a different matter. Hard to find the forum contents amongst all the ads.

Everyone getting T.e.m.u ads? ( I’m spelling it so google doesn’t think I’m searching for it and gives me even more ads for it)

I don’t know if it’s dodgy, cheap rubbish or what… but it’s a very aggressive advertising campaign.
