D3 for LU Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) Ionel sez: I don't want a different browser just for this site, using same browser across three platforms. Its crazy that these ads take away functions from the forum. I'd look for a new ad approach. It is very frustrating. ^^^^^This^^^^^ Sometimes, it's like playing wack-a-mole w/ these adds... you X one out, and another one comes around and takes it's place. (Frustrating, indeed!)

I always have two ads in bottom right and when get a forum notice of new reply a pop up overlays it so can't hit view. This is on both phone and tablet. Away from home now but when return going to check our ad blockers options. Same here Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniorvarsity Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 On my work computers using Chrome, I cannot read the Thread titles. It is not always like this, but it happens sometimes. Maybe avoid the option of adds on the left when looking at the Forum. There is always more space on the right and it is not always relevant to most website visitors.

alex1fly Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 My hot take is that if it could be fixed it would have been fixed already. Usually there are a few minor tweaks post-deployment but the ads here need MAJOR adjustments so the two likely explanations are that it's either a low-skill DIY job or a "meh, we'll get to it when/if we get to it" kind of situation. There's just no way an engaged and capable ad group puts out a product with so many problems on Day 1 and makes no improvements by Day 30. I'm not trying to be a snob about it, just relaying my experience from the web dev world. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveira Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 The comparison to chrome on a lap top is silly. In my opinion at least. The screen canvas space on a desktop / laptop / whatever is massive compared to a smart phone. the world isn’t using desktop / laptops like they used to. They are a dying medium. 60/70-% of the worlds web traffic is on smart phones. So follow the $ there relative to ad revenue. it’s none of my business….. I asked a long time ago what this sites costs are. The folks who host this for us need not be paying out of their pocket…… but the cost of a forum with minuscule traffic is not high. We don’t have a lot of traffic. Anything in tech can be fixed. The service “could” be dropped. i don’t want to run an ad blocking service. Believe it or not some sites I need to go to do not allow you to browse with it turned on so I have to toggle it on / off or use a different browser. The experience stinks. If 70/80/90+% turn on ad blockers they aren’t getting revenue anyway …. If we all leave and go to (lol) pat minnow’s Facebook group or twitter or x …… they aren’t getting revenue anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ionel Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 No one can resurrect Bob and Willie bit short on time to deal with it. Maybe we should look for an obscure under used forum, say something like women's badminton, that we could all jump to and take over. I say we send Jimmy out as an advance scout. If there's no push back on JC's posts then they're probably ripe for the taking we all move over enmass and they won't know what hit em. What say you? 2 .

Refuse to address and fix glaring issues. The site is absolutely unreadable for me on an iPhone. I understand you need to make money but you won’t make any money without any traffic.

It’s the same as the 50 million pics posted in these threads. I turned off my ad blocker and boom they’re everywhere. I would post a pic but this site blocks that too.

pokemonster Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Can we get this fixed yet? Such a pain in the ass to try and read this on mobile. The ads literally block my ability to choose "stay on safari" or switch to Tapatalk, essentially blocking my ability to browse. Janky streaming sites have less obstructive ads.

MP says Willie says NO! I tried ad blocker doesn't seem to work with my browser. Shouldnt have to change browser I'm using for all my other stuff just for this forum. If there were an alternate forum I'd prob be over there. 1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokemonster Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Love when you go to quote a post and you can't even click on it cuz there's two annoying videos covering half the screen. And you go to hit the x and it goes to the link instead. Then the whole screen tunnel visions in and you can't see the post. Woo!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or when you go to add an emoji and you can't cause of the pop up, you try to x out the pop up but the little x moves and you get the ad in a new tab. I hope Sillie has bought his Ferrari by now. 1 .
