More ads, suddenly?

[Lucien Nunes]

I've noticed across multiple devices in the last few days what seems to be an increase in advertising intensity. So much so on the mobile that I had to install a different ad blocker otherwise the forum was basically unusable, the ads completely drowning out the content. If it is a real change and not a result of my browsers being updated etc, then my impression is that it is counterproductive.

Just done all of that Dan and the message still pops up within a second of the page loading, it then stays there on every page I go to of the forum. I'm using 'ghostery'.
It's not the end of the world as I just add your site to the 'trusted' list which means ad block doesn't work for your site, then the message isn't there.

I need to find out what is going on as users who read only and can't ask me about it may have issues.
I will keep this issue on my to do list mate. Thanks for the heads up on it.

Well l have taken no action at all and don't use an ad blocker that I know of . The ads are still there between posts , but are stable and not causing the posts to jump around all over the place.

Sponsors only? That's what your account should show. No Google though.

Right Dan, go have some quality time with your daughter, can all members with questions direct them at @westward10 ???

Yes , it is as it was before the upset. No Google bombardment.

Ps . Dell laptop.

Yes it's back to normal for me too on the laptop with Firefox. E.g.:



Cheers Dan!

I’m still seeing quite a few ads on my phone. Including an annoying drop down ad at the top.

Is this correct? See attached. Cheers

Seems to have got worse again this evening, big ads wedging themselves in while I'm scanning the list of threads. It's tedious. I don't need an electrician to come round in 30 mins and I already by my PCBs from PCBTrain and my trainers from JD Sports. Grr.

 

[ruston]

Yes mine are back too.

Same here. And the bleeding disappearing keyboard.
