Now we have ads?
Am I supposed to be seeing ads at the bottom of the screen now?

Re: Now we have ads?
I'm getting Google ads here on the main page, is that supposed to happen, or is it my PC?

Re: Now we have ads?
FYI Rod - firefox with add on "add blocker plus" makes it so you don't see any adds. I had no clue we had ads. So if you do firefox google the add on and there should be install steps, etc. there

But that takes away revenue for the site. For most sites that I visit daily that have non-intrusive ads I will disable adblock for that site.

Re: Now we have ads?
Do advertisers know if people logging on have ad blocker stuff then?

Re: Now we have ads?
There's ways to tell, but generally no. The site most likely (depending on the service) only gets revenue if the ad is clicked. Just the ad showing up probably doesn't get them any money.

Re: Now we have ads?
Which was my thinking & why I have ads off. I never click on that stuff anyway.

Re: Now we have ads?
Now if the guys came on & said we need to be seeing the ads & clicking on them to keep the site funded & going I'd be doing so too though.

Re: Now we have ads?
I am on the Tap Talk app, and I am not seeing ads yet. I have no problem with the ads if it helps the Forum owner to keep stuff funded. Maybe we can get the ability to edit our posts now.

Re: Now we have ads?
the lack of edit has nothing to do with funding and everything to do with eliminating a source of potential (and past) drama. Yes, it sucks at times but drama sucks more.
It's that whole one (two) bad apples thing....
Moving to the "Site" section.

I was just joking about the edit posts, I did not know it was a touchy subject.

Re: Now we have ads?
Nah, not touchy. I really dislike not having the edit feature as the vast majority (if not all) active members are stand up people, but for the time being, things will stay as they are. We'll see what the future brings.Wrightracing.net wrote:I was just joking about the edit posts, I did not know it was a touchy subject.
