Ads ruining the BFW experience.

[Neil Smart]

Again this problem is becoming just too much to cope with. Pop up's on top and bottom of every page, and now in the middle of every page. And they won't delete.

 

[Luke Agacy]

Use the google chrome browser and the AdBlock add on

 

[Paul Collins]

Try the Brave browser, fast with a built-in VPN.
No ads at all.
Adguard is also brilliant. Occasionally takes a little while to fire up on start up and the intrusive ads are very apparent for the first few minutes. Magically they dissappear pretty soon.

 

[Bob Watson]

Now on brave, no ads whatsoever so far!

 

[Neil Smart]

On Brave now thanks, also got it on my tablet a little time ago, didn't realise it was such a good ad blocker.

 

[Jon Elliott]

PICNIC ;-)

 

[David Craine]

My Ipad is steam driven, wont load up Brave,

On the other hand I can spend many happy hours perusing the ads that I have no interest in at all.
I do have adblock browser that seems to be ok, at least it works after a few mins.

Sorry about the extra adverts - Google have done an auto update on my account and now forcing these into the forum threads!

As mentioned previously, advert revenue is crucial to help with the running costs of the site though this latest 'update' needs reversing. Please leave it with me...

Thanks,

Andy

The new Google Auto Ads settings kicked in yesterday. I've just logged in and turned auto ads off. It says it can take an hour for the changes to take effect.

Fingers crossed....

 

[Andy Frances]

The in-thread adverts seem to have gone for me....anyone else?

 

[Tom Mycroft]

Yes mine have gone. Thanks Andy.

 

[Derek Funcks]

Middle ones gone, back to just top and bottom

 

[Trevor Brown]

As Derek,middle ones gone,just top and bottom

 

[Mark Harridence]

Same as Derek and Trevor

 

[Andy Frances]

The ads top and bottom are staying I'm afraid. I'd like to make them thinner but have a problem in that I can't update the code on the forum without getting an error.

I'm due to apply a forum software update in the hope it will fix this....just plucking up the courage to press 'update'!

I find bfw pretty good, if you want a bad site try fishing magic.pretty much unusable for me.

Well that's a given, however the intrusion of the ads in the body of the page was a real problem, thankfully that seems to be sorted.

 

[Mike Thompson]

After deleting the ads a few times I now just have a blank space where the ad used to be, and scroll down to the text. A new ad appears perhaps once every couple of weeks, but deleting it takes seconds.

David, I use an iPad and am browsing advert free using Safari and Ad Blocker Pro.
