What in the 9 heck's has been going on here Muhammad?!?

Now I see videos auto playing? 403 on everything.

If you are going to auto load videos and other crap like that I'm will have to check out other places.

I have limited internet every month and I'm not wasting it on "whats hot" tractor videos you are forcing. I'm not sure about other people, but I can't imagine anyone else is impressed by that either.

No like button, but we got auto play videos.

Edit: Seems like if I login it all goes away.

But I still stand by my points, who wants to go to a website where they are hounded by pop-ups and autoplay b.s. I understand ads, but auto play videos cross a line with me.

I'm getting real tired of closing, closing, closing that too.

Diggin It · Apr 28, 2020

I keep seeing these threads, but I never see what y'all's complainin' about.

Maybe because I use a real browser and not a foo-foo one?

SeaMonkey and AdBlockPlus ....

Just sayin'.

I have that and it works great.... but it doesn't work on the videos the OP was talking about. It's TBN's way to "encourage" members to LOGIN - those videos disappear. If you login and keep your "cookies", you'll never see those videos. It's a small price to pay (especially, if you run a script blocker for Ads).

Maybe it helps that SeaMonkey omits a lot of that junk by default. There is an option to allow or deny ALL animations and auto-play for example.

I'm having issues with an add that starts to pop up at the bottom of my screen, but never fully opens. It just takes up about two inches of the bottom of my screen that I have to close to get rid of, and then it randomly pops up again when I go to another thread. It's extremly annoying!!!!

I have no idea what anyone here is talking about, using Google Chrome. I don't see any ads or autoplay videos. Weird.

Citydude · Apr 28, 2020

If I use my desktop computers, I get the 403 error. I mainly use my phone or tablet with apps and have no issues.

oldballs · Apr 28, 2020

It's getting so that one has to be a computer Geek to navigate this stuff without hassle. Another tractor site "updated" their site.........I just don't go there anymore.

Cheers,

The ads were getting out of control here.....so I dumped cookies, history, and other stuff I should have done a while ago. I then looked at TBN and it was wild with ads....it was even worse than before. I had to sign in again because I blew everything away. As soon as I did that, the ads went away and is back to normal. Good.

I too, don't have a clue what they are talking about. I am using FireFox.

shooterdon · Apr 28, 2020

The guy needs to make money one way or another. I do not like ads but accept it as the price to pay. Because the site if free.

Not sure if it is possible, but I know I would pay extra for a "no ads" membership. Like Microsoft games does for its solitaire and other games.

No hits, no runs, no errors. No 403, no adds no videos. Never log out, stay logged in 24/7/365. Don't have a clue what you guys are going thru.

Firefox here, with uBlock Origin. I haven't seen any garbage for a long time but suddenly a lot of 403's. Purging the TBN cookies seems to have ended that.

bridge4 · Apr 28, 2020

I don't have them when I log in, and I never logged myself out..but it seems to keep logging me out? We will see. Again, ads are needed I understand this is a business for the owner. Just videos are too much. I have 25gb a month, and these auto play ads on sites these days are using up precious data and I don't want to watch them!!

I use forums and mostly texted based sites to keep my usage down, and this kills that effort.

Install adblock plus, that will get rid of 99% of them.

For those on mobile devices, AdBlock and DuckDuckGo both have browsers that wipe a lot of the nonsense out.

Or you can install the TBN app which is completely free (in price as well as being free of ads).

Firefox with uBlock Origin and DuckduckGo Privacy Essentials here. Literally 100% of that junk is supressed. I haven't seen an ad here in years.

(Sorry, Muhammad. I know advertising pays for the site).

Diggin It · Apr 28, 2020

Ya' know, there was a time when I didn't even try to block ads. Static inset or banners were fine as long as NOTHING moved and they were small, maybe 100 x 400 or similar. And only a few, maybe 2 or 3 per page. I even placed a few on sites I was experimenting with.

But then sites went nuts with larger insets and banners, 10, 15, 20 or more on each page, some animated. Then the popups, pop unders, pop overs, slide ins, wiggle ins and so on started to infest sites. The the ultimate insult, video and audio ads. It got so bad on some sites that the web page I wanted to view didn't even load, having been bogged down by the ads.

I'd had enough and just flat blocked everything, everywhere.
