Adverts

[karl2000]

Anyone else getting ad's popping up all over the place, or am I just lucky?

 

[Towpack]

Yes, me too, plus the forum threads are only displaying down the LHS of the screen for some reason. It's happening on two different devices both running Safari.

 

[karl2000]

Bloody computers

 

[felix2566]

Ha, just posted up about this too...

 

[Andy]

I’m getting them too

 

[felix2566]

Seems to have stopped today for me on the App

I'm getting loads of the b'stard's, all random which I never got before.

Since I was asked to download updates from the 'one app' from Samsung I've been flooded with targeted adverts. I managed to disable it and if I don't update from 'one iu' it's all good.
I never turn my phone off,restart or update and I never use any cloud storage,this way normally works for me. I just won again,I keep on pressing the 'x' button and it can't keep up. Don't press the forum update facility in the top right corner because this makes it easier for it to interfere I think.

Russians.

 

[karl2000]

Any idea on these adverts then? Theyre pretty annoying tbh

 

[GeekOKent]

On the mobile, using a browser, I see none once logged in.

 

[karl2000]

I get them on the mobile or computer - both using chrome

 

[GeekOKent]

Ok. I now have adverts.

 

[GeekOKent]

Right I don't see them at home or on my own networks since all the advert service dns's are blocked. I do see them when I am away from about trusted WiFi.

I guess this has something to do with ' I do not consent to my data being used for various activities'

 

[Lorin]

Yep

 

[frank rabbets]

GOK, can you describe this magic path to delete the adverts on my latest edition of windows?

 

[karl2000]

Do we pay a subscription to be ad-free?

 

[Andy]

Yes!

 

[GeekOKent]

@frank rabbets I use a slightly modified version of this Pi-hole – Network-wide Ad Blocking - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] - depending on how much effort you are willing to put in. I think there are some services you can use for low cost/free of cost as well.

The thing is, as Supporters of the site we are not supposed to be seeing any....

@Crispin have you been able to find out any more as to why we are seeing adverts?
