There is far too much adds in the forum lately, the front page has an unsteady and slowing loading 180Kb.( forum home pages rarely pass 40Kb)

It becomes difficult to spot the different categories amongst the Google ads, very annoying.

With moderation everything is good including ads….:)

 

Adblock is working with Google chrome too. For IE8 the filters (rules.xlm) have to be imported in the InPrivate Filtering and IE8 need to run in that mode. To get IE8 starting in that mode the registry can be change using the file attached (InPrivate Filtering Auto.reg).

I cant read your post cos the damn floating add covers the text. I can read it now in quotes.

 

Anyway, I don't like installing loads of this odd stuff on my PC - it slows it down Im sure.

 

Unfortunately, this is the end of the road of TL for me. The site is now unusable using Google Chrome, and I don't see why I should change my browser just for one web site. I may return in a week or so to see if anything has been done about the ads. In case this is my last post, I'd like to thank every one for their help.

 

Bye.

It just may be the US Fathers Day weekend why this has not been addressed. It’s a simple task for the Web Dev. to modify or remove the floaters. Lets see if its taken care of today.

I agree. This is a bit ridiculous. I used to have Adblock disabled for TradersLaboratory to support the site, but I've put it back on.

 

edit: I count 41 Adsense boxes on the main forums page, and that doesn't even include all the new embedded ads between posts, floating to the side, etc. That violates Google AdSense's program policies (maximum 3 ads per page). Admins, you run the site, so you're free to do so however you wan; however, you're very quickly alienating your userbase.

Hey Guys, we're currently undergoing quite a bit of 'construction' including a new look (you might have noticed the new logo) and new ad space. The project is still very much a work in progress so we please ask that you bear with us.

 

But of course, all constructive criticism and feedback is totally encouraged. For now, we've disabled many of the ads until the project is completed however you may see them pop up from time to time as we continue development.

 

Thanks again for your patience,

 

the TL team

Thanks TLadmin.

 

I came back to see if anything had been done, and low and behold...the floating ads are gone! I can read content again!!

 

Like the new logo, didn't like the ads.

 

Cheers,

To install AdBlock in Google Chrome go to

https://chrome.google.com/extensions/search?itemlang=&hl=en&q=adblock

 

After installation you can access extensions in order to manage them.(see photo)

 

PS: as the ads are not loading your surfing speed will increase

If you sincerely value the current TL users, you will need to do the majority of the experimenting somewhere else.

 

I kid you not... when all the floating adds started popping up, I thought for sure I'd gotten a nasty virus, and spent precious time searching for it until I realized it was only on TL. The site was unusable because you couldn't read the content.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
