Popular Post Dumbastheycome Posted April 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2020 While I could congratulate the TVF site designers is their battle to overcome the complaints of perpetual page loading and jumping issues I now understand they /him/her had greater focus on defeating the ogre of commercial imperatives. Overall success in that criteria. Pages load, eventually. And do indeed stop. Well.....sort of. Pop up videos , advertorial banners etc that sufficient in numbers magically defy blockers to satisfy commercial interest while destroying much of the social media attraction of even coming to the site ! Captive audience ? NOT me. I hope my topic is not relegated to some where. I have a screen shot to keep for shared satisfaction anyway. What do you think AnaBan......? Cheers all . Some of it was interesting. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GeorgeCross Posted April 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2020 TVF follow the thai style of monetization, the more members who don't pay (adblock) the more the remaining have to pay (more ads) which leads to more members not paying and on and on and on ... sad really 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ON PCs you can do things, but phones are not good. I cannot open TV on my smartphone as the ads destroy the screen, but on both our PCs I have no problems. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t bother with the TV app any more at all... because of Adverts. I rarely read TV.com on my phone (using Safari) because of Adverts. I find adverts a PITA when using Safari on my Laptop, I’ve complained about it in threads before, sometimes the advert ‘pops up’ over / hiding the content. The solution (advised in the past) has been to use other browsers (which can block the pop ups), but I don’t have to use these ‘other browsers’ (I don’t remember the name of the browser I was advised to use). I don’t mind the adverts that run down the side of the page - its the ‘invasive’ ads which are plain annoying. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The site never loads correctly on my phone. Pages don't fully resolve in browser. Stuck under it's own weight of bad code and advertising I will never purposely click on. That video on the landing page with the hand. Prolly been up for months.

Puchaiyank Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The ads are a necessary aggravation for users. Navigating that delicate balance between commercial interests and keeping those clicks coming is the TVF management's challenge. If no one ever complained, the ads might just keep being added on top of the content... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post swerve Posted April 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2020 No idea why TVF want to ruin this site with too many ads. Gets unreadable and people don't bother with it. I have been putting up with the video ads here for a long time. After reading this thread I tried popup blocker in Chrome and Adblocker in Chrome. The first one didn't work. The second one did. No more totally annoying videos in the bottom right part of my laptop screen now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSky Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I must agree the mobile version of TVF is very annoying, jumping all over the place as page loads, full screen ads in between every page load and click... very annoying. Its better to place ads more effectively... Edited April 3, 2020 by NightSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumak Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Ahhhh, if only getting rid of the annoying pop-ups was as easy as getting rid of Rumak when he has something uncomplimentary to say. ( it is rumored that there is a designated team just for that purpose ???? ok: start counting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum owners make money from the content generated by members. Going forward, intrusive ads could be made disappear to those members that have paid their dues with a certain content/reputation count. A doddle for someone with coding experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
