Adverts !

[Mk3iain]

Is it just me or is the forum view inundated with adverts suddenly or is it my own settings ?

My open page has adverts throughout the circumference of any page it is so annoying and off-putting.

I do not enjoy the experience at all and may not be visiting much if at all if this is a new normal.

Same here.

It seems as if 2/3 of the page disappears in pointless unfocussed adverts.

I would normally not mention something like that, since I understand that a website has to be paid for somehow, (and very much appreciate it's existance), but to go from zero ads, to being one of the most intrusive for ads on all the sites I use, overnight, has been a bit of a nasty shock.

I won't quit the site (yet), but it makes it very difficult to use.

Thank you for the site, and listening to the comments of the members.

Best Rzgards,

Adrian

Totally understand funding but this is just over the top at the moment. I'm using it on my mobile and they're filling the screen!

No problem on the PC, maybe because I have adblocker.

Is it just me? , but site seems to be overun again with popup adverts?

 

Edit: Stand down!

Haha , whoops - browsing without logging in will bring out the adverts.

Logged in to post and have gone!

Have you installed a ad blocker? On PC it works for me.

I should not have to do this. The Great War Forum has NO adverts. why here ?

What adverts? Have you got some junk cookies that need clearing out, perhaps?

At the bottom of the page click ‘theme’ and make sure default is selected

Did you refresh afterwards?

[Rootes75]

I find my work pc has no issues at all, no adverts. 

If I use my phone even with an adblocker its pretty dire tbh. 

So I simply don't tend to bother with using the phone to look at the forum.

[Oh Five]

I changed the default on my phone this morning and it worked.

No adverts on either my computer or phone.

Thank you again for information

I have just looked and I have the HMVF New (Default) theme.

Using Firefox and Ublock Origin I have never seen any adverts on HMVF except the Allied Forces at the top of the screen.

This is on a PC running Debian Linux but Firefox on a Windows platform ought to be the same.

I never use a smartphone for anything not absolutely essential when no PC access - too hard to see and type on.

Just used theme and refreshed touch would most adds gone, just header and footer now.
