Ads

[Sadasius]

Just one ad in the for sale area bothering me. It blocks much of the product descriptions. Cannot logout in there as well as it covers the logout option in the top portion with the (index of Intel Core). Don't mind ads as long as it does not impede with site functions and with posts.

Logged in and seen below:


And the usual others from scammers like millionth visitor and such.

If we already have ads pc related ones would be preferred, or at least from serious companies where the ads don't have a negative impact on the site.

[NBF]

I cant see the new adds, they are blocked by the security software here

[TheGoat Eater]

I could block the ads, but seeing as I don't pay for a membership here I figure the least I can do is view the ads that Fugger puts up to pay for this great site, thus generating hits and making money.

Some gets it

I only get the Crucial ads on the top and right.

[radaja]

now im getting extremely slow load times and still the same problems
with the oversized pages.makes it so hard to enjoy the site.

[zalbard]

Yeah, pages are loading slowly for me for the last 30 minutes or so. I had a few database errors also.

[K404]

Are these ads even legit?

I got ripped in 4 weeks? I lost 23Lb in 4 weeks? Some of the before + after pics arent even of the same people......

[radaja]

Yeah, pages are loading slowly for me for the last 30 minutes or so. I had a few database errors also.

yep same here.errors and long load time.fugger please oh please fix it.
thank you

[zalbard]

It worked fine for an hour, seems broken again.

[FtW]

When I click into a thread the 'snap-linkads' ad covers part of the top post in every thread, can't even read the complete OP.

yea today has been just a pain to even be here.
one minute everything seems great and then
try a different thread and wait and wait and wait
the database error.what is going on?also keep getting
the this post is a duplicate of a post you made in the last
few minutes message.but its not

[Frontl1ne]

I had my adblock disabled for XS since I don't mind seeing the Crucial ads. But after the "get ripped quick" ads came on showing pics of muscle guys... I turned adblock back on. Sorry XS

[Sadasius]

Just installed 'adblock plus' on my work computer. Problem solved!

By all means go ahead, I wouldn't want to see those ads either.

I think people logged in shouldn't see ANY ads though

I agree Vapor and to top it off the vertical ads are blocking descriptions in the for sale section PITA.

[M.Beier]

Half of the time I have "Congratulations your no 1mio visitor today, claim your...." NICE XS supporting such stuff....
Oh and hten in right side of the monitor an african child without legs....

[Martijn]

Oh PLEASE no ads with sound

[CryptiK]

Agreed, the "get ripped" add and "congratulations you're the 1000000th visitor" scam adds severely cheapen the look of the site. I'd also much prefer to have no adds when logged in, but if they must stay, they at least should be relevant to the target audience of a PC forum.

[Tile]

As I mentioned on this site only ads from PC parts manufacturers are allowed on this site.

[Jimmer411]

This is how I feel.


All I see is crucial at the top in threads, in the main forum view there is one on the side which doesnt bother me. This is on Chrome btw.


Now if XS starts getting those annoying word ads...

[Tile]

This ad problem is really getting on my patience. The Crucial ad is fine with me. The ones that aren't fine with me are those vith you'te the 99999th visitor, you won and such. I wist that those crude were replaced with ads from Asus, Gigabyte, Intel, Biostar and other pc parts manufacturers. The worst case scenario would be ads by Google which are again fine with me.

[Ashraf]

I have always thought that those users who have a paid subscription should not be seeing no ads at all.

I am shocked to see that you guys see different ads other than Gigabyte and Crucial Memory ads that I am seeing only.

[Gautam]

I'm 99% certain that Charles didn't mean for them to. This is clearly a mixup/mistake.

[Knight]

Yeah... I only see the Crucial and Gigabyte ads. No spam ads. A mishap indeed.
