Chezz55 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'll be glad when this is sorted out. The small Rotosound/Elixir etc.type banners at the top of the screen were fine but I don't like the new system - I'm getting ads popping up every time I open a new topic / change forums etc.. In some cases taking up the whole screen. Infuriating and very annoying Chris 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem to have worked in the first instance to say the least! We're waiting for ducks to get in a line their side I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_c2 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 What incentive do the ducks have, to line up? If they're struggling....here's an incentive: AdBlock Plus blocks these. I have it installed already so I've basically not noticed any more (or less) ads, or changes in ads. I did notice the site down for a bit, and a bunch of other user's avatars disappearing which might/might not be related though. Unobtrusive ads.....probably okay for most; obtrusive ads.....everyone will either install ABP or leave! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 At least the ads I'm getting now are mostly vaguely music related. Before I was constantly being invited to sign up to faith based dating agencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'm finding the opening page is almost concealed by the drop downs and the cookie item - I'm hopeful Basschat isn't going to become like those regional newspaper sites - virtually unreadable owing to drop down banners and streamed advertisements. It also slows everything down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured that was because we both must have accidentally clicked on the "Russian Brides" advert. (don't tell the missus). 😬 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
