I was at the same point that you are, and ready to just throw in the towel after being here since 1997. I only come on Moparts on my laptop, and never on my iPhone, so I don't know if it will work on a phone. I can read and post here now, and not have the stupid assed pop up ads jumping in right and left. I hope it will work for you. I don't ever remember you not being on here, so you've been here as long as I have, and I'd hate to see you give up and not be here anymore. https://ublockorigin.com/

However this site is like playing Wack-a-Mole with my iPad. I see other sites that have implemented Infolinks in a much less intrusive way. It is a shame that it has diminished this site and run off good contributors. Management does not seem to care so I guess that additional revenue must be offsetting the reduced traffic, for now. I understand the need for ads but not if they diminish the usefulness of the site.

John, photos are really pretty easy here too. Just click on the "attachment manager". Then "select a file to attach", that will open a window where you will navigate to the folder where your photo is stored. Double click on the photo, the attachment manager window will show a little moving circle while the photo loads. When it stops click "done" and your photo will be loaded. Adblock Plus works great on my laptop. However all pictures saved on Windows 10 and above are saved as .jfif files and Moparts is not compatible with those files, you have to change them to .jpeg files so they will load, don't know why Moparts can't fix that... All my photos are .jpg files, guess that's why I have no issues.

With many of them bring sideways. Lol. At least my Meme’s post up. Typically I email photo's from my phone to myself, this way I can make them smaller. A lot of the sites I go to have a limit on how big the files can be.

What I do is use https://imgur.com/ to 'host' my pics and then get a direct link. It's free and one feature I REALLY like is that I can open the site then drag and drop pics from websites to save and be able to post them here (facebook pics as an example). This may sound sarcastic, but its not meant to.....the members of Moparts are getting old(er). I wonder how many even know about the tabs directly above where you type a response or can even see those tabs? John The dream is dead, long live the dream.......😥

There's a wealth of knowledge here and I've learned so much and I enjoy venting on the unmoderated section so all-in-all I'm grateful for Moparts and it's a small price to pay Facts are stubborn things.

ZERO. Does AdBlocker not work on laptops or phones? Since Moparts is the only place with such aggressive info links of the places I visit, I just wait until I'm home to browse it. I haven't bothered trying to install an adblocker on my phone (yet). Is Kevin missing a setting or am I just not understanding? same here, No issues www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com

I am on an iPhone 8 and the only pop up I get is an an infolinks tab at the very bottom of the screen that I can cancel out quickly. It’s not even really something I even noticed until I read this. 77 Macho Power Wagon LWB factory 440 70 Coronet 440 N code 3 speed

I use an Adblocker so I see very little but as stated in the many threads about them,some people cannot use them or they don't work on a particular device. Some forums block you if using one....I don't go to those forums anymore(see how that works?) 2) Too many holier than thou members.....haven't found any software for that yet.

However ad software that s so poorly integrated that it can make the site near unusable is another issue. I think it is also unreasonable to expect users to install ad blocking software to use a site, even though I have done that.
