New Ads

[billyhoyle]

Is there a reason you can't just go back? The site is currently unusable without an ad blocker. 

[Husker_Du]

no. we can't go back.

it will get worked out.

billy, are you using your phone or computer? 

[MNRodent]

No pop-up ads on my laptop using either Edge or Chrome browsers.  I did see a few on my phone though.

While you're at it, can we get rid of the stupid bob dole face as the default reaction? It was funny for about 5 seconds but time to move back to the standard thumbs-up.

I like the bob dole reaction, I wish there was a greater variety. Perhaps a similar graphic but rendered in a stone like texture that we can bestow upon posters that give a "rock hard" take

I just don't know what half the emojis even mean. I'm sure they're hilarious for some, but a simple Facebook-like thumbs-up as the default is best.

And to the people giving the Bob Dole reaction to my above post, I see you (and still don't know what it means).

I use both, and the site is unusable on both in its current state. On my phone currently though and am seeing the pop ups.

I saw someone mention the ad blocker and it reminded me how I used to the the Brave Browser on my old phone. Zero ads when using this browser. I recommend it period. Not just for this site. They do not track you and as blocker is built into the browser.

I'm usually unwilling to deal with this many large pop-up ads in order to see p o r n. 

[de4856]

There are too many ads, and once you delete them they should stay deleted. But unfortunately they pop right back.

This comment is so fire.  Porn sites have less of their canvas taken by ads.   Not that I visit frequently.  Maybe add gambling and food / recipe sites to the list of “less ads”. 

[flyingcement]

Bob Dole = "Like"

Brain = "Smart post"

Laughing face = "LOL"

Wrestling = "Wrestling"

Cigarette = "That was a heavy post, I may need a cigarette to help me digest the implications"

Death skull = "I'm laughing so hard I am actually dead"

Confused face = "Me, the person that is using this emoji, is a Karen"

Stalling = "Jombo"

Potato = "Idaho"

Shit = "Shitpost"

Clown = "Clownpost"

Duck = "Patrick Glory ducked Jesse Ybarra"

Banana = "Ionel"

etc

I use my phone and the site is a hot mess now with pop ups. Please fix before the season starts, I beg you.

Ad blocker app works for me, but then can’t read some news websites

Forum suddenly looks like that TV screen in the movie Idiocracy.

... and yet Bob's latest pic from his all expense paid ad free vacation.  

[alex1fly]

Maybe they changed something because on the phone this morning I have two pop ups going simultaneously on every page instead of one! That’s progress right?

If I leave those open and scroll a bit I can get a third ad too for ads on 60% of my screen.

I get two pop-ups regardless of devive, phone, tablet or computer prob cause Google Chrome on all three which generally makes life easier.  Rarely use computer for the forum, its slightly less annoying on computer as doesn't block as much space.  If I had a nickel for everytime I've hit the tiny x I'd have a semi load of nickels by now.  Hitting the x really doesn't do any good as the pop-ups come right back within ~20 sec.  If no change by Fri I will be officially annoyed, just say'n. 

[Camel Wrestling Fan]

I just want say how much I love the ads. I have a lot of free time so I enjoy watching all the ads dancing all over the forum. The best part? Clicking those bastards by accident and getting redirected. I know personally I am encouraged to buy the product. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing I am contributing to more of thses ads popping up all over everything I view on the internet. Rock on!

This site is becoming unusable on mobile devices.  Please send an email when it is fixed, will check back in a month.

I mean it will but it might not be in the way you desire.  People may stop using the site or start using adblock.

Made the mistake of visiting from chrome on a mobile device without adblock and got the tapatalk/browser question cover by an ad that WKN mentioned last week. Prevented the selection of either option and the site was greyed out and unusable until a selection was made.
