How's that? The Google Ads should have gone now for most?

Decent source of online 18th edition training?

Hello all Planning to do the 18th edition online. I could just batter loads of old papers on the head and then have an attempt ( I will do loads of old papers anyway as practice). But, it''s been an age since I did my 17th and I think I would be better off learning how I actually...

Seems my recollection of regulations was correct and the regulator is less than happy with current levels of compliance.

Come on, @Dan This isn’t funny anymore🤬

There’s a new adchoices pop up that fills the bottom half of mobile screen. No X on it to get rid of it.
So between the black search spot, the bottom half ad and other ads inserted inbetween messages on threads…. There are some moments I cannot see any forum content whatsoever.
See thumbnails for examples.

Opened littlespark's post above on my laptop, read that he was posting an example, saw that almost the whole of the bottom half of my screen was occupied by an ad, thinking that was the example.
At that point I realised that this wasn't the example, but a pop up on my own screen.
Ad blocker gets rid of it, but two seconds later, the screen greys out, with the "allow ads" banner right in the centre.
Way beyond a joke, and the site is close to unusable, and certainly not enjoyable, in this state.
Fix it, please, Dan, and fix it quick, before the forum collapses.

I recommend becoming a patron if you use the forum regularly. Costs very little, and I am currently using the forum with no adverts or hassle whatsoever on my Android device.

I should have explained.
Top image was trying to scroll with the bottom half covered, and search dot in place.
Second image was a mid-scroll, stopped at one of the ads between messages… just to show how completely covered the page was.

Typing this out, I see there’s no bottom half pop-up…. So I guess Dan is working on it as we speak.
Still the dot, and still the pop-over full screen ad when moving between pages. That’s an easy one to X off though.

@DPG whether patron or not, you should still be able to use a website with ads in place and no detriment in actually using the site.
I fully understand it’s a revenue income, and expect a few ads whatever site I’m viewing. I know every now and again, some glitch allows a multitude of ads to appear, and it’s down to Dan to find the cause and either remove it, or work around it. And I know that’s not a 5 minute job when it happens.

I've no problem with a strip of ads down the right hand side of my laptop screen, occupying about a quarter of the width. It's the ones that appear between the posts in a thread and the full screen pop ups between pages that are the problem.
All was fine on a laptop, before the current round of tinkering.

Hi people.

I was about to create a blog post with no ads on at all. In fact, yeah let's do that.

Bookmark this page. Share it out with others who might be asking about it on facebook or whatsapp or x or whatever.

IMO if the adds are paying and keeping the EF free to use then we have to put up with it.
