Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2023 Is it just me, or are the extent and frequency of the pop up ads on this forum increasing? Sometimes there is barely enough room on the screen to write a reply, if using a smartphone. Not sure if they are aware of the difficulty they are causing. Or, are we supposed to be quiet about this kind of observation? 6 1 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KannikaP Posted March 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Sod the pop-up ads, get rid of that ridiculous yellow invitation to subscribe to Asean's email, sometimes with the Captcha to pick bicycles, bridges or lorries. I still get it even though I HAVE subscribed. Edited March 18, 2023 by KannikaP 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan O Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Between pop up ads and the number of media news posts its frustrating to follow real posts here as they are getting crowded out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess about 80% of the screen are ads. Sad. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Edge most of the time. I don't know if it is "the best". It just works. And I don't think I know any other site which has anywhere near the amount of ads than this site. Maybe it's not time for a different browser but time for a new or better forum. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamyai3 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 On android recently there's a very intrusive box advert with video that slides across the screen from the lower right corner. It appears just in the area where you're scrolling and blocks a good chunk of the reading material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should the support talk with the site owners or management that maybe they should think about making the situation better. Because if it gets worse than probably more and more members will move away. It seems many did that already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over to Gmap, to find a coffee/pastry shop ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an aspect of the Forum that neither I nor other Moderators have any control over. And... before anyone gets carried away... from the Forum Rules: 22.
