ionel Posted March 27 Posted March 27 ... Bob popped in after NCAA for one post then he was gone. Quickly after we started getting new pop-up ad features. I noticed new left right border ads where you can't do anything till they disappear. The bottom ad expanded to about a third of the screen with a down arrow to click on to reduce to previous but no option for x until after hitting the down arrow and waiting. Now I'm sure there's no reason to contact Bob and he just popped in to re-negotiate a new income stream to pay rent on the Greek Isle house. We all know that @Husker_Du says no but as his main contact maybe all can convince @MPhillips to work on shillie to change his mind. Really who can blame @BobDole it can't be cheap living in his new house. 1 .

It’s a pain in the arse sometimes needing two browsers. The experience sucks. And they can’t be making a ton of $$$ on this. Traffic to this site is minimal and can’t even be costing all that much.

Expand Really bad like that on a mobile browser. If you are unfortunate enough to get that question asking if you want to continue in the browser or the tapatalk app and are not quick to respond it gets covered with an ad and then you can't do anything but reload the page and try again.

1032004 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Hopefully the ad company saw the thread confirming that this is the GOAT of message boards and Bob/Willie are getting paid more for these awful ads (although I’m also using an ad blocker)

Rassling2 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 The ads are at its worst - getting tired of trying to rewrite something after a pop-up sneaks in from the bottom. Surely one of you “legends” can convince the owners to knock it down a few notches.
