Pop up Ad Windows


fixyurdivot

Recommended Posts

Anyone else getting a pop-up ad window at the bottom of your screen each time you cycle the forum pages?  I don't recall seeing this before.  You can clear it, but then it returns when you jump to another page... really annoying 😡.  This is only happening on MGS.

This is the site being used. Anyway to disable?

Yep, I have seen that type of ad before and it is super annoying. I used to allow ads on MGS; to help provide revenue, but hate that bottom one so much I turned
My ad blocker back on for the mygolfspy domain.

Just tried that, closed and re-opened the site... but still seeing the pop-up.  Must not have done it right.

I was getting them until yesterday when I loaded AdBlock.  Before that I had Pop Up Stopper which didn't stop them.  They were very annoying.

ABP was the go-to ad blocker back in the day, but it has the ability to see your info. They say they won't/don't do anything with that data, but it's hard to trust any app today. Further, they have "acceptable ads" aka these guys paid us enough money so we'll show you their ads.

 Enter uBlock Origin (I use Brave browser but it's available on all browsers):

Yes, I saw the preamble note from them when downloading.  Perhaps I'll switch to uBlock. It's crazy just how much churn goes on in the quest for personal data.  There is an excellent Netflix documentary on this whole subject "The Social Dilemma".  Thanks for the info.

Yep, your data is worth so much to these companies. I like keeping it to myself as much as possible, and these apps help a little bit with achieving that! I'm not quite a tinfoil hat kinda person, but working in tech has taught me to be cautious. Maybe tinfoil visor?

If you use Chrome in incognito mode you might need to allow ublock to run in incognito

After loading Total Adblock the irritating pop up windows on the forum have disappeared....

but now i get an annoying pop up ad for.....  Total Adblock!!!  How ironic.  They want me to upgrade from their free version to a more powerful paid subscription version.  This ad has been popping up as I get to a new web page for the last three days at least.

Tried AdBlock, no luck. Why are these ads popping up? Are they something MGS authorized?

I am with you, hate the ad on the bottom. It caused me to turn my ad blocker back on for MGS. The bottom ad shows up on all devices as far as I can tell

They may be considered "acceptable" ads.   By default adblock will allow those.

I'll just put this here rather than start a new topic.

Is it just me, or is the site really slow these days? I installed an ad blocker on my phone and I might as well not bother, as it takes forever to load anything. My PC at home has an ad blocker and this site is the slowest of any that I visit. Is this a problem on my end or something else?

When you say "app", are you referring to the MGS app or the tapatalk app?  If so, support for those has been dropped and they aren't usable anymore.   The only way to access the forum is via the website.   You can do this on a tablet/phone just like you would on a computer.

It might be a little slower for me, but nothing horrible.

Have you tried an ad blocker? I read the forum on my phone going through Ad Blocker plus browser and it has reduced the ads significantly. I still get one occasionally at the bottom of the page, but it's not like trying to get on through Chrome or Firefox.

I used my phone yesterday to view the forum, which I rarely do, and found it almost unworkable. Ads sitting over the top of topics/links I wanted to click on made it impossible. I did manage to open the ad several times though. Probably provided a bit of extra revenue😅

If we need to use ad blockers isn't that a sign that there's too many ads?

Yes. To me, the ads have become super annoying since the latest update a few months ago. They effect the loading speed, especially of the main forum page and I have had similar experiences as you on my phone. I have since downloaded an ad blocker that is very effective for the stock Samsung browser and Yandex browser, but really don't like that it's necessary.

@jlukes posted while I was typing - I'm in full agreement. I'd gladly pay to make the ads go away. Maybe just take a % of donations forum members make to MGS to reduce/eliminate the volume of ads? Just a thought.

Have you tried an ad blocker? I read the forum on my phone going through Ad Blocker plus browser and it has reduced the ads significantly. I still get one occasionally at the bottom of the page, but it's not like trying to get on through Chrome or Firefox. 

I use chrome no ad blockers are helping me out on my iPhone
