Hi, I am around but am boycotting Moparts. The infolinks garbage pushed me over the top. If it ever gets the boot I might come back. I'll be glad to help you if you need anything.

Thanks!
Scott

Hey Scott - glad to hear you are OK. I was about ready to bail on Moparts also but then someone on here recommended switching to the Firefox browser and downloading Adblocker. Worked like a charm. Now I'm still here with no infolink distractions. twocents

Exactly what I use as well. Completely shuts out Infolinks.

I have been putting up with the infolink aggravation on my mini laptop for more than a half a year. I guess I have been just too lazy to do something about it.
I'm running chrome and I just now downloaded Adblocker and restarted and now the pain in the ass infolink is gone.
Thanks for the wake up call everyone....

There is a down side to Ad Blocker. I've been running it for months with Firefox and now numerous sites pop up with a message like "we notice that you are running an adblocker and because of that you can't use our website". I really don't care, when the ads blocked count hits over 20 on some sites, it's worth it.

Yeah, we have a section here on Moparts that says they politely ask that you turn off Adblocker. But if you don't, they block your access. Hardly polite. So screw them.

There are occasionally a site here or there that denies access with Adblocker. But that is a small price to pay for the convenience that the blocks provide. Life on the 'net would be unbearable without it.

Infolinks is indeed a pain.

One of the safest ways to surf the internet Is with an unregistered “virgin” iPad whose Safari cookies get regularly erased. Moparts embracing Infolinks makes this a hassle every time Safari cookies are erased.

I know about the various browsers, adblockers, On Windows, Apple, Linux, even BSD.
I know about blocking ads upstream by DNS, routers, “piholes” etc.

But Infolinks makes Moprts far less enjoyable to visit than in the “old days”.

I don't know the economics of running a site like this but I would think the drop is traffic caused by folks avoiding the Infolinks hassle make it less valuable to other advertisers.

However like I have mentioned before the Infolink money must be pretty good because Moparts management does not seem to care that the users hate it.

Info links is not as bad as getting a trojan virus from your website and it taking 24 hours to scrub it out of my computer.

Granted that was ten years ago.

IL is easy enough to bypass, so I have no idea what your issue is!

Thank you!
Kevin

I get the message all the time that they want me to turn off adblocker, no how no way! If your site tells me that then I go to another site to find the information I want, plenty of fish in the sea...

I can no longer surf Moparts when I am using my phone. These pop-ups are annoying as hell.


I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

You can use Ad-Block Plus. I'm running uBlock Origin (and Nano Defender). I see few ads and no popups. shruggy

If I had a phone that wouldn't let me block ads, I be getting a phone that would. No phone is going to own me, now or ever.
