No ad banners?

[Anak]

Not that I was exactly fond of them, but it seems like we do owe them to our sponsors.

Are they just turned off?

Good point. Some other forums have ad banners repeating between 3 or 4 message posts. to give their sponsors maximum exposure.

If there is granular control over ads, could fee-paid members just have them at the top of the page?

For the last ten years or so my firewall strips out all ads that are not hosted on the same domain as the website. I have just noticed that I don't see any ads on the existing site either. This may also be true for others that use browser extension ad blockers.

Before I buy parts I usually look at the sponsor page and click through to their websites to look for deals.

Ads is one of the things that needs work. I know very little about all this. Unfortunately Geoff hasn't been able to get on the things that need work.

 

[Vince]

Ads are being displayed if I use a different browser.

 

[admin]

Really? Which browser?

 

[Vince]

I get ad banners in Midori on Windows 10, it has absolutely no add-ons and has not built in protections.

Ok so why are they not showing up in FF.... hmm...?

 

[Vince]

I have two add-ons in Firefox that might be stripping the banners. I don't get any ads that are hosted on third party domains.
I have uBlock Origin and uMatrix add-ons loaded, with Firefox enhanced protection enabled. This is what I see...

I'm not familiar with Midori. Not showing up in Edge either...

 

[Vince]

Not showing up in my copy of Edge too...

 

[Ghost]

No adds in Chrome either....

 

[Vince]

I'm not familiar with Midori...

It is very niche, and probably not that safe to use.

@markw @gsequoia Any thoughts here?

 

[gsequoia]

Ads are working now. Cruise all around the site and try to find places where they don't render.
