Missing member. ..

Guys , I hope you are all well and staying safe , I very rarely come on here these days , its hard work , the adverts and posts fly around all over the place , gaps appear , stuff then appears then disappears etc etc
It has taken away the enjoyment of giving time for free and being part of a forum , is it just me ?because this seams to have been happening for months now .

Yeah i'm getting annoyed too. It's pretty much the same experience at my end, Ads everywhere, gaps, disclaimers etc.. Shame as it was a good forum.

Hello TFJ, I hope you’re we’ll? I think Dan has already stated about the ads for now? I seem to remember when it was just ukpf, it seemed a lot better. There seem so to be a few members who are no longer part of the forum, maybe they got fed up too?

 

[SimonG]

It's just gone absolutely mental with ads.

Not worth the hassle.

That's spooky... I was just thinking yesterday that neither you nor RobFoster (chking) had chipped in recently. Good to know you're okay.

 

[SimonG]

SJB is missing as well.

All the hopping around is maddening.
The new one I hate is you click a thread, screen goes blank and then when you touch it an add pops up - surely no one has every bought anything from this type of intrusion , it just makes you determined to buy almost anything else.

Hey big J, we're missing you.

All I get is the static page ads on the right but I'm running Adbloc on my browser (Chrome). Admin won't be happy but it makes it all rather tolerable.

Hiya TFJ, was starting to think the dreaded virus had got you up there so good to hear from you and yep it is hard work at the moment.
Dan has said we can run ad-blockers. My biggest gripe is pages refreshing every 60 seconds so darent answer the phone or make a cuppa when scrolling down new posts.

 

[oz-plumber]

I seem to be able to change the refresh rate from 60 seconds to 300 second.

I don't get any ads at all.
Firefox & Firefox adblocker.

Hope this helps

Yep, afaik, refresh time can be altered by end user.

Yep, I found the little arrow after Oz posted.

Great to see you guys are still here and all well , I can gather this is a well known problem , from what I remember it was the same six months ago , perhaps the fecing virus has got in here too .
No idea how to put an add blocker in but will try find out .
Cheers to all

Click on the button follow the instructions and it should self-install, you should see a little red icon top right in your browser. Click on that or right click your mouse to pause or turn it off say when your browsing on a site that doesn't like ad blockers.

Just realised I use Adblock or Adblock plus not the one in the link posted.
