Fine on my Mac with an ad blocker.
Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

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.

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

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.

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!
