Irritating link on every page

[Balllsy]

I'm on my windows phone and getting a "Creat a free forum" link on every page. The link goes to proboards website. Mobile phone screen is small enough without this pop up making it even smaller. Anyone else having this issue ?

Yes I'm also getting it and it's annoying enough on a 40" screen let alone a phone. Dave

Ad-block is your friend.

Thanks izan, off I go to download Adblock - the banner is slowing my (already slow) machine down even more, and I am wasting precious seconds with each new page - grrr!

Adblock installed in my Chrome browser, speed regained, happy Andy

They have appeared at the head & foot of the page & are annoying. Have posted in the backroom about them for when Chrissie comes back on.

Ghostery also blocks all those nasty trackers out there on the net. www.ghostery.com/

If your on android and have rooted your device, download adblock
That even works for in app ads

I actually turned off adblock to enable the site earn some money, regretting it now so will put it back on.
Doesn't help me on the phone though.

I also turned the ad-block off, here, for similar reasons.
It's easy enough to re-enable if "temporarily" needed.
For example....

Irksome isn't it . . . I can't believe no one is interested in a Potatoe Badge though.

It did appear last week and went after a day or two so hopefully the same will happen this time!


Just to be a total spoilsport, it's also against Proboards T&C's to use any adblocking software on their forums.

[chykensa]

Can you tell if we are using it or not, Perpetua? I have disabled AB for the time being, would be interesting to know!

Sorry everyone, for some reason or other we keep running out of ad free credits every couple of days I've applied 100,000 paid for views in the last 4 days. I know we are a busy forum, but not that busy.

[Perpetua]

Are you paying for this yourself Chrissie? If so I think we should chip in . . . is it still the same on V5 with anyone being able to buy credits for the forum?

[Chrissie]

Proboards themselves can tell if you are using an ad blocker - hence why some of you are seeing -
