Stupid tab advertisement

Post by Pitts »

Any one else overly annoyed at that stupid ad with the tab that keeps sliding halfway up the page one EVERY page??

(NOT Pens related other than I can't see half the comments about the Pens unless I click the little reducer arrow)

I have not seen it as of yet, but you are not the first person I have heard mention this. Can you tell me WHAT it is an add for? I'm going to try and contact Admin to let him know.

It holds various ads. It just keeps popping up. I have RJ's email, just didn't want to bother him about it. He'll see this soon enough.

Try using Firefox - it is a much better browser for filtering out ads.

It’s the Google ad sense banner.

Interesting - my Firefox browser keeps all ads away (I don't like Chrome). I might have a browser extension installed to block ads, something like this:

Brave browser will block ads. No extension needed.

On a Corporate phone, downloading apps are a no-no. The ads are overwhelming. Google is the **** ****. **** google. **** the Google ads.

Another thought might be to try incognito / private mode

Try changing your DNS to Adguard's, 94.140.14.14 and 94.140.15.15. Most commercial VPN's also have some sort of ad blocking as well, such as Threat Protection Lite (CyberSec) from Nordvpn.

Ads are back and even more intrusive than before. The one that pops up the most is for 'Attorneys Near You.', followed by 'Temuu' cheap Chinese ****.

The top banner ads are still there, but now it is a full page requiring me to have to search for the 'X' to close it.

I use Samsung mobile internet browser. I get the full page ad that pops up when the forum switches from one page view to the next.
I haven't blocked it because I'm hoping admin gets credit even if i don't click it. Though I've accidentally clicked it a couple times as it doesn't always pop up.

Same page ads I'm seeing here are the same ones at hockeybuzz.com too.

I honestly try and keep the ads to a bare minimum to cover costs.

Admin, Great to see you are alive and (hopefully) well!

To cover the costs of the site and keep this place up and running, I am okay with the current volume.
