danny Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I would like to have most of these new banners only show when you are not logged in as a VC user. I apologize again for the testing. I thought the side banners were better than the centre pop up at the bottom of the site so i wanted to see what the deal was with those. Give me a few more days to test. I think personally if you are a signed up VC member you should see less ads 100%. Then we can keep building the VC community with actual users vs most of the guest accounts. Just a thought. Also no side banners on mobile. It's only a desktop only product. ditc586 and Tommy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Top and bottom banners are easier to ignore. The side banners are obnoxious. And they pop up on every page I open when logged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 The side banners have become very intrusive & cumbersome and making not only navigating each page difficult but also I can’t really do any Admin work effectively. At least not on my laptop. I can do all OK on mobile since no ads but the functionality & effectiveness somewhat lack from compared on desktop.

museummouth Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Came in to post about how awful the side ads are on desktop. And on every reload too, ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 SEC just looking for money. It doesnt take that much to host a site like this. @danny and Jenna, just pitch to shark tank if you're that cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsuodaironman Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 The ads really suck. Here to post that it is really upsetting to see them every time I load a page on desktop. Let's keep this train rolling to see if we can get rid of this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Just today we got bombarded with 30+ posts from spam accounts that I had to go through & delete & then flag and delete the users. Took me close to 30 minutes on desktop. It normally should take me about 5-10 minutes at most but got severely slowed down by the ads as they covered portions of the control panel to edit/delete posts.

danny Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Took down the side ads and added back the centre pop up ad. I am told once you close it once you wont see it will tomorrow. We will see how it works. Thanks for everyones feedback on the testing! daegor and elsanto 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom ads are back with a fucking vengeance. Just get rid of everything. Seriously. This is bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 All I know now is that whatever changes have been made now, we’re now even more open to spam posting. In the past 4+ hours, I’ve had to clean up & delete over 50 spam posts. And go through & flag spam accounts & delete them as well. It’s never been this bad. May not be related to the change in the ads & pop-ups but there has been an severe uptick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Now I get a single bottom pop-up, but once I click on anything (unread content, a particular thread, whatever) it's gone and doesn't come back until the next time I visit the forum.

jhulud Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 I appreciate the fix now if having just the one pop-up ad at the bottom & can 86’d just once & it’s gone until the next time visit the boards. BUT. There are now ads popping up in the middle of posts themselves?!?! What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaty McBoatface Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 @danny Bottom pop up ads are a plague again on mobile today. They come up every page, every time. Refreshing the page doesn’t kill them. The X is too damn small to tap without getting redirected to the ad page. HALP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
