Bloody Ads

My ads keep asking me to book a holiday on the island I live on lol

Did you make a booking though? If you did then you've succumbed to some Earnest Tilly-like salesmanship.

I've got adblock off for this site

But recently there have been ads, NatGeo i think, that start autoplaying sound

They're pretty annoying frankly

Ta mate

Yeah that one was no good - I asked the ad partner to pull it. They said they did but if it shows, message me and I'll follow up.

Did you sort out the nat geo ad?

Should be gone - if you see it please let me know. It's a bit cat and mouse sometimes.

Ads are a pain in the arse.

Some websites take the proverbial...

I have Adblock. uBlock Origin is the name of it. It does a great job. Highly recommended.

I exclude websites I frequently visit - particularly fan sites from Adblock. You can change the settings to allow ads to run on individual websites - so you're making an exception for them. It takes a few seconds and job done - never have to mess with it again.

You're doing a good job.

First pair look like a scarecrow. I suspect that you might live with a future Batman villain.

Worth mentioning that I reckon a lot of people also browse in work etc where they don't have a say in what adblockers are used etc.

I allow ads at home (they are not bad on here at all by and large) but I also don't want National Geographic to be blaring out whilst I am pretending to do some really important yet far too complex to explain work.

I took the advice of signing up to the monthly forum support thing - how long does that tend to go through? Wanna make sure I’ve not accidentally funded some other dodgy internet thing

Thanks mate. it's instant unless Paypal don't like the cut of your jib. Looks like they're holding it until 9th May.
