Feels like I'm playing whack-a-mole every time I open the site!

x3
I always enjoyed the knowledge here for many years, but viewing this site becomes a pita unfortunately.

My home network adblocker used to block Infolinks but no longer does so.

I don't mind advertising since it supports the site.

What I do mind is the screen jumping all over the place and making everything a moving target.

While I have no proof, I visit this site everyday and I think traffic is down.

We all know of good members who don't come here anymore because of the intrusive advertising.

Its a real shame.

still no adds here, using addblock ultimate with firefox.
but i only have a desk top setup.

Tom is there any way for some of us to pay a Moparts membership fee to have NO POP UP ADS?

Yes please these pop up ads are making it where this site is unusable. Totally takes all the fun out of coming here.

Me thimks oleham2 has the fix for this .... and he doesn’t see it !

Since the internet connection in the Coder area is prehistoric... like a string between two cans .,,. THAT is what eliminates his issues with infoSTINKS ! ...

I'm using IE and adblock and have none of the issues you guys are. Tried firefox and still no ad issues.

Any solutions for an IPhone running Safari?

I don't know why that's not possible, non membership paying members can keep the pop up ads and the rest of us can go back to the way it was. Here's an example of another site that went through the same member complaints and this fixed it:

Just a thought and this way instead of complaining you guys can step up and put your complaining money where your complaints are. And future complainers can be directed to the paying membership sign up area and you can also have a full page POP UP AD WITH THE MESSAGE ON HOW TO GET RID OF THE POP UP ADS

Good .

I can sympathize. Maybe I am lucky because I sure am NOT computer savvy. The Wife or nephew installed some type of AdBlocker so the only ads that I see are the forum sponsors and I'm okay with those.
I do wonder why this problem even exists. I don't recall seeing anyone in a position of authority actually explain why this happens.

Its for $$$$$$$

HaY DoC, i occasionally use a fLiP FoNe that only makes FoNe CaLLs !!

I would be in, too

No, this board software does not support that option

Moparts Sponsors and Ads pay for the Site , Moparts is my retirement job
( I didn't cash out years ago - maybe that was mistake )

I was forced to remove the Google ads on the board because of changes google made,
first in what they were paying and in where "they thought " the ads should go, which was ALL over the page

I try to set and use the ads that cause the least amount of annoyance, but on smart phones that is almost impossible to do

So add blocking software is your friend

I've got an ad blocker running so I don't know what's changed recently but for the first time today I started getting an add sliding in at the bottom left corner of the screen. Which doesn't seem to block much but is really annoying when it keeps doing that dragging your attention down there.

Thank you Tom for setting things straight after way too many posts on this has went unanswered. I dont think anyone could actually blame you as your the owner and the internet seems to change over time with social media vs web sites.

I still get no ads or popups, but it was not easy and if one doesnt have something like ddwrt firmware on there router it pointless to explain. When I use my mobile device I use wifi vs data and my router still keeps them out on my phone.

He has explained this more than once over the last few years.
