Without the ad blocker the forum is just awful!

Yeah, the ads are far more all over the place then any other forum I have been to.

if I turn off my home ad blocker I see them in every thread but not the main page.

seems even with me pi hole turned on, I can still get the full page ads. They just don't have content.

Somebody needs to find and post a cartoon of what @Jwest7788 looks like right now while he works away at this little problem......

In my minds eye, I see this emoticon of a T-Rex in a blue T-Shirt with a computer in his little arms and a keyboard being crushed between his teeth......

All I can really say is that I'm sure glad this wasn't MY idea......

I have confidence that it will be fixed as soon as @Jwest7788 has the time to correct it. I can live with the ads till that happens.

 

[gmihovics]

it's probably just == instead of !=

done it many times haha

The ads appear in different locations if I am logged in versus when I am not. Not sure if that helps, but figured I would send along the observation.

I installed an ad blocker, now everything in the

Announcements, Feature Requests, & Report Bugs!​

thread is blocked????

 

[DavidR8]

Yup something is FUBAR

I'm LOVING the new banner ads.

Just today I got this one:



What a perfect ad on a metalworking website.

If only there was a tool for that.

fwiw, Ctrl+f5 reloads the page and allows me to see it. Can't post unless I disable my adblockers though.

You guys need to see what it's like on a mobile phone! Holy Poopy Cow!

How come I don't get metal stuff on my screen? But boy am I ever getting hammered to join Facebook! I think there is a message buried in that.....

The ads are hell. The forum is literally unreadable for anyone that hasn't registered and will turn everyone off.

Edit: I'm sure this will be resolved but just wanted to share that it's glitchy. I'm getting the same level of ads in my other browser while logged in, that's the only reason I noticed.

 

[DavidR8]

Chrome with Ad Blocker does not load the page.

Same, Firefox with Ad blocker for this page but not others (haven't tested many)

Odd... Firefox with Ad Blocker loads for me but I can only post on some threads.

 

[DavidR8]

Best ad ever!

 

[VicHobbyGuy]

So the question is why only on this thread (and ironically on my bug thread...)

Refreshed the page on one of your old threads and got this:

I paid as a premium to support a good forum however this form of ads interfere with the use, if it continues, the forums usefulness has come to an end.

Hopefully that is clear enough to shut it off.
