New adblocking message

[Deleted member 28206]

A persistent reminder after every single thread ' click ' really isn't going to make me pay or add got to my Adblock whitelist. This is honest feedback. I know more than most how bad ad networks.

I get that GOT us run on donations, but until a method other than PayPal is available, I can't donate.

Is this a new change?

Ads learn your browsing habits. Got anything you want to tell us @GoatJR?

Yep, I'm going to Wembley

Was meddling earlier. Soon, anyone with adblock enabled will see a different, reduced functionality GrandOldTeam.

Would it be fair to ask what you refer to when you say reduced functionality?

Limited number of threads viewed per day.

Intention is anyone with adblock enabled will be moved to a usergroup which can only read a preset number of threads within 24 hours.

I would hope this wouldn't include those of us using Flashblock (or some other kind of Flash-blocking software) because we are using work computers. I remember that people previously were mistakenly identified as using Adblock.

Ended up just paying the £20 to stop it, even though I've disabled my adblocker for this website.

NEA to be honest, I spend more time on here than I do outside.

@GrandOldTeam don't know if this is due to the server downtime but I'm getting adverts mid thread - this is deeply upsetting please fix it.

 

[ilikecheese]

What's up with the ads boss?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Will sort asap blues - forum supporters/upgrades shouldn't see adverts within thread - it defaulted back. will sort

Oh I clicked it. It looks like the best flashlight ever.

Will revisit tomorrow.

Hey bud
You can't properly see the thread sponsor on the transfer thread when viewed through my mobile (iphone) Guessing it's in your interests ...

I use loads of different computers, all have GOT on the whitelist, but the browser on my home desktop for some reason still thinks adblock is enabled. It's my only Win10 machine, otherwise I don't think there's anything different to the other ones (where adblock is recognised as disabled for GOT).

Tho' reduced functionality might help my returning addiction to this fine forum.

Nice one for whitelisting us, very much appreciate it.

Will pass the Win10 comments to adblock detect and message plugin developer.

cheers, if it's useful my adblocker isn't the standard one, it's AdBlocker Ultimate


For nerds, this is an interesting highly-ironic read:
