Steve Shovlar Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 A real pain. Anyone else getting these pop ups? Or have I done something to enable advertising pop ups on speedway-forum? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Jones Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Can I suggest for those who don't have it that they try A B P( Adblock plus), When i log into the BSF i get a notification that it is blocking 2 ads , & when i open this topic it moves to 3 blocked . Seems to work fine for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers99 Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 On a laptop, no issues. On my phone, it's constant. Thankfully easy ad's to remove, you're not struggling to find the right 'X' etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s as bad as the constant spam on the Covid thread, nothing is done about that so don’t expect anything to be done about the ads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100% p.s. the pop up ads on here are a right royal pain in the derriere though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 To be honest the ads can be a welcome diversion to some of the posts!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Central Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Tbh it's a p!ss poor show. No matter what the reason. It looks scammy and makes the forum feel very dodgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s what’s needed we might just have to put up with it. Maybe not the owner of the forum making a living, more like helping with the cost of running a forum. I don’t think they come free of costs, so a bit of income from adverts helps keep the forum running. I think it’s a case of adverts occasionally or each member of the forum make a financial contribution. Maybe a referendum is needed to sort adverts v contribution. A simple majority decides, no discussions for the next 20 years. Edited October 16, 2021 by OveFundinFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 've used it for years now, & once it's installed it works on all websites there's a counter that will show how many ads have been blocked. Also it's completely free , what's not to like about it ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
