garydavidson Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Jamie, appreciate the need for ads, but there is now a Domino's pop up ad that comes up time and time again and is a royal pain in the arse to get out off. If you use chrome I would advise installing the ad blocker - usefully for numerous other sites as well as this one. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom Edited November 11, 2016 by garydavidson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Cheers, but don't want to do that because I appreciate why JAmie needs ads. It's just this one ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Beatson Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 ^^ what he said. it isn't actually a tremendous amount. But the issue with donations/subscriptions is it creates two tiers of users and on a small forum that can be an issue. i did actually consider going even further and creating a subscription model that included podcasts/news/features/analysis for subscribers but I don't think there would be a big enough uptake to make that work.

The issue is i don't control that ad popping up. It's served centrally through an ad server and for whatever reason we're getting that one constantly just now. I've asked for it to be taken off our rotation so hopefully it'll be gone asap. rickardo, Cagey and Abernethy Saint 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 No issues with the pop at all, i don't see any ads when accessing the site from phone. When using laptop I get the add at the beginning but that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even have to click anything I don't have a problem with the site having adverts as I never look at them but for some reason it is not easy to scroll past the domino's one.

Abernethy Saint Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Thank you Jamie, that's good enough for me. It must depend on the device you use because some folk are having no problem and others clearly are. I get it almost every time I go to a different thread, it's murder to get out of, and I keep randomly getting bounced to the Dominos pizza homepage. It wouldn't be so bad were it not for the fact I can't stand pizza! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
