rik2304 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Â Your knowledge of these matters is illuminating. And a lot of ads are inspired by browsing history. Â Â So you better be really,really careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickardo Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 It's getting ridiculous again with a Toyota advert jumping up at you every 5 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 They are quite smooth, nippy and reliable actually. Jumpy, naw. My Yaris is in its tenth year. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indicator Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 You might find it worthwhile downloading 'Ghostery' it works well for me (Firefox browser). I don't see any of these popup adverts. https://www.ghostery.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ScottMann Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I use Ablock on Chrome and don't have any advert problems, or adverts, at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 These ads are making the site totally unusable on my phone. I'd rather donate to the site than use it with ads like those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 James, why don't you experiment with a fundraiser? My feeling is you could raise a couple of hundred each year very easily. If it doesn't work, keep the ads. No need at all for perks or whatever for donors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Adds popping up a lot when I use my phone, site seems to think I have an affinity with Eastenders !  But not too much hassle just to X out the buggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 The adds I'm seeing now don't have an X and take up the whole screen. Popup adds are the worst user experience you'll find online. Adverts are fine for funding but stick them in a side bar or page header or footer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
