Suddenly the forum inserts an ad between each post making it impossible to read a thread anymore. Something happened? Mobile use only

Happening on my laptop as well.

Fine on my Mac with an ad blocker.

I have an ad blocker on my desktop as well so didn’t see it there but mobile is a real pain.

Off to Google ad blocker for mobile

Noticed it on my PC aswell today. Confusing as thought it was bottom of page, mais non!

Fixed it on the phone with a blocker. All good now

Seems I need one for my desktop, would you please advise which (of the large number available) works OK.
Thanks

I use Adblock Plus on both the desktop and the iPhone now. Stops tracking and all ads and is free, so perfect.

I also have Adblocker Ultimate on another machine, also works great.

Dont think I have an ad blocker on my phone but looked at the forum on Safari on my iphone, no ads

Perhaps it has been fixed now, I can't tell as I have a blocker now

Yesterday, after each post line, a massive ad would appear you had to scroll through to get to the next post response, unusable.

At least I have also lost those "Temu" ads that I had at the bottom of the phone screen which was always distracting, all nice and clean now.

If everyone has an ad blocker, will Jim be able to make any revenue from advertising?
I don't know how the 'tech' world works but assuming it will affect his revenue.
I often click on the Temu adverts and have a look at shite....my logic is that it will create more revenue for the site, although I have no idea if that is how it works.

I like Temu!

Time to clear all cookies.

Ok, I assure you there is not supposed to be an ad after every post. There is supposed to be an ad after the first post but only for those not logged in (i.e. guest users). I will look into what is happening but sometimes Google has a mind of it's own.

As for what happens if everyone installs an ad-blocker, that's easy... my costs then become more than my revenue and I delete the forum... simple maths, I'm afraid.

In that case I won't install an Ad blocker, but I hope you can get rid of all those poxy adverts all the way through threads!
