Now you've had a play with it what do you think?

Now youve had a few days to find your way around, what are your thoughts on the forum?

 

[Flintstone]

There adverts all over and no matter what you close they just re appear 2 mins later

 

[Boggs]

Am I the only one finding all these advertisements bloody annoying..?

And yes, I know they pay for the forum, and without them Dan won't make his first million.........but still, there bloody annoying ! 🙁

Me too, more the fact there are adverts breaking up the thread and reply box.
😡

If the adverts had been here in 2006 when the forum first started nobody would have minded!
It can’t be upsetting members enough that there is a rush of subscriptions.
It’s still the best place to spend that down time.
Enjoy.

I've noticed the forum drop off , certainly isn't as busy as I used to be, I know in the summer it tends to go quite ...... But, the adverts certainly put me off.... can't make head nor tail where I am half time, far to cluttered imo....

 

[Flintstone]

It's made me loose interest a bit if I'm honest.

Screen shot from one page, adds at top and halfway down the forum list

 

[Boggs]

How many less adds are there if you pay then?

 

[Boggs]

There seems to be less adverts on the .com version.

 

[Dumbo]

I have changed to the .com site but can you remove from the .com that big header that says about having to login as I have done that

The ads are back to normal now.

When we switched domain names Google had to review the .com as a brand new site. And one way to get them to do it quickly is to enable all ads so they see what revenue they're losing by delaying the review.

I was on holiday with poor internet connection so couldn't sort it until now.

If you're logged in, you should see very few ads, and if you subscribe you see non at all.
