Ladbrokes banner! - Dan is fixing the forum ads, and other things - Sorry lads!

[DPG]

Why have I started getting a Ladbrokes advert at the top of the screen? Very annoying. I'm signed in.

Anyone else seeing this? Or am I special? Don't answer that.

Ok this is getting more and more special:

The mind really does boggle what google search or forum post prompted that one!

 

[littlespark]

Mine changed to “aarke carbonator. Sparkling water makers”

I can only assume Dan is fiddling with the forum code again

Now I’m home, the targeted ads for my IP address is bringing up women’s clothes and glitter balls. Because I'm the only gay in the village...

They say Scotsmen are cross dressers that's why they ware worman skirts. Lol.

[Mike Johnson]

I'm feeling very left out since installing Ad-Blocker I don't get any adverts, am I missing anything. ?

 

[littlespark]

I’ve got an ad blocker…. Still showing up

AdBlocker Ultimate worked well for me in the past. Think it limited advertising to banners from forum sponsers.

The other issue is forum advertising permissions. I reckon most people will just click accept, but it pays to take the few mintues needed to go through it all properly - after that you're original settings will stick, but any updates mean going through and setting permissions for new advertisers.

Definitely seems to be a far greater issue on mobile devices than on a laptop, especially if not logged in. I get around it all by bunging the forum a few quid - obviously not everyone will want to, but it seemed reasonable when I'd learned so much for free.

Ladbrokes.......So am I........





Oh no, that's OP....Sorry ??.......?

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

I got loads of ads from an online clothes website called Revolve, got all these ads with women in their twenties wearing nice clothes and more often than not in lingerie or bikinis as the other half has been clothes shopping online again...

 

[Baddegg]

I’m getting ads for electrical training course…..?

 

[littlespark]

I’m getting loads of ads for insulated tools, cutters, screwdrivers and bits…..

no sorry. My mistake. It was a thread by @Dustydazzler

 

[Timbo]

Are they selling lawn mowers?

 

[littlespark]

I just got this…..

£85 seems like a good deal. 2 hours tops to drive there, and write up the report.

Maybe for a 2 circuit garage board.

 

[Baddegg]

I just got one for engagement rings……I’ve been married 23 years and I certainly ain’t buying another one ?‍?

 

[littlespark]

I’m not normally one to complain…..

but I’ve got a complaint!


The ads seem to have doubled-up on me now. Near impossible to navigate the forum on iPhone. Will check laptop when I get home.

Mods… have any of you heard if Dan and Lou are ok? Normally @Dan would have said something by now along the lines of “bear with me, I’m dealing with it” but not a peep
