Ads

[mrmikey]

What's with the ads lately, they're getting overpowering and very annoying. Got this today when I opened up the page:

That shouldn't be showing for members... I'm going to disable it since exactly zero members who run ad blockers opted in to see ads.

 

[azbinder]

I also see this. I just click through it.

 

[LouNY]

I'm getting it also.

I'm still getting that annoying "turn your ad blocker off" page.

If you are a "techie" I would recommend an open sourced router firmware that will block ads for you at the router level.

This way, all of your devices connected to the router will be protected from ads and many other malicious websites. This also speeds up adblocking.

I like FreshTomato, but there are several others.

Every time I open the site on my phone I get a full page pop up as now. I am logged in.

If I don't log in to TBN, the ads are overpowering on my ipad that doesn't have any ad-block software.

Shouldn't be happening, will get it disabled.

Shouldn't be happening, will get it disabled.

Thanks

 

[Muhammad]

How about now?

 

[kenmbz]

Seems better, the one that covered the whole page seems to be gone.
Thank you

 

[polo1665]

How about now?

I've not had it happen again since you took care of it yesterday.
Thanks again.

Quite frankly, this is the most irritating site (functionality wise) I have ever participated in. Adds will cause enormous pauses in page displays, and when I type in messages, there will be huge pauses between my typing and having the letters show up in the screen. On top of that often I will come to the site and my browser (FireFox) will spin it's wheels waiting to load the site page. Sometimes that goes on for too long and I just go somewhere else. Not very conducive to participation by the membership. And yes, I am logged in at all times.

I know about ads helping paying the bills. I run a few forum sites myself. But in my personal opinion whoever runs this place went WAY overboard with with the ads, or running on a server host what is WAY too underpowered to run the scripts.

IMHO.

Sheesh, I went to use another browser to see if it was browser related. I was not logged in then. Are you kidding me? Had I seen that mess before I registered, I would have never bothered. Matter of fact, I think I will look around to see if I can find an alternative tractor related message board site to use. This is pretty ridiculous.

And FYI, I DO go to a lot of other sites, but this problem is unique to this one.

None on my iPhone either

What device are you using? Can you post a screen shot of a typical page so I can see if the ads you're experiencing are correct?
