I see now the ads here are now encompassing the whole screen. They keep popping up every five seconds. It’s getting hard to view this OT forum.
It’s sad really,,,I rarely come here anymore . I know I’m nobody ,,,but I miss the knowledge and feeling that everyone was always trying to help . Now it’s just an ad generator,,,with frustrating screens that get on your nerves . Tommy
I respectfully disagree. The HAMB has not changed except for what was requested. @Ryan listened to the people who were complaining about the '65 limit and he started the OT section with the tradeoff being that there would be advertising on that section only. Every other aspect of the whole show remains no advertising, at least on my computer. Maybe some moderator can help out with your issue. They have always helped me and others here. With regards to the OT section, you have to give up something you have to get something you want.
All I really care about right now is writing. Nobody is forced to read it. if you are logged in, there are no ads except in the off topic forum.
This is what I see on my phone. But I'm using Firefox browser, and an extension. Perhaps you could look into the settings on your browser? Or just look at the on topic forums.
I hadn’t even looked at the off topic forum in months. There are too many ads. This week I’ll work on that.
I wonder if it's a mobile device thing. They are on my desktop, but not what I would consider excessive. Definitely far better than other forums I visit.
Yep. Just now piecing it together—the ads, those sneaky bastards, seem to slither in only on mobile. On desktop, it’s just the one obnoxious eyesore up top, glaring at me like a cheap motel sign. But mobile? A goddamned infestation. This is going to be a monumental pain in the ass to untangle, I can already feel it. Digital whack-a-mole with no instructions and no mercy. A slow descent into ad-serving hell.
I took a look under the hood and can't figure it out, so I filed a support ticket with the ad server folks. Hopefully we will get this fixed early this week.
Thank you Ryan . It’s funny,,,,several here were not concerned at all,,,,kind of condescending about it . But,,,then the boss takes a close look,,,,,and realizes that it really was a problem after all . Thank you Ryan for all you do,,,this is still a fantastic place . Tommy
I'm not concerned about it because I deal with it on my end....I never see ads, because of how I have my phone and computer configured. It's not condescension. But it is great that Ryan is trying to make it work better for those folks who won't take the effort to make the ads go away, themselves.
My comment wasn't meant to be condescending. I just don't seem to see the ads the OP is referring too. I also use my phone as we have no P.C. Perhaps my browser blocks the ads for me. Either way, I hope it gets worked out for ya.
Ads help us support the place… which sucks, but it is what it is… I’m gonna stop showing the site to those with ad blockers soon. we working on this issue still. Hopefully fixed tomorrow.
Ryan, just FYI..... I got ads jumping up on the other pages last night, not just the "Off Topic" page. Unfortunately, you give those ad bastards an inch and they take a mile. Good luck!
