frigo Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The large AdBlock plaster which pops up when opening my PN blocks my access to using the No Words forum as it ''permannently'' covers the upload window.Is this serious enough to get somebody from admin/Glen&co to remove this and let me use the one feature of this site which WORKED for me....up to now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Peri Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Me too, a huge part of the page is plastered with it.. despite being fully subscribed with presumably no ads ... I really think that it has no place here .. I can't scroll without it blocking everything ... Edited November 21, 2017 by John Peri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendunton Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Weird. I have Adblock plus and I don't have the pop up.... ...and I've never seen an advert on here :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I have Adblock plus and I don't have the pop up.... I have that too - and I did just get the pop-up. White-listed the site - pop-up persisted nonetheless. Turned out there was a second browser extension filtering banners - disabled that one and the pop-up is now gone. Still no ads though :D (which is a good thing as I don't click on any of them anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Dieter, can you give a little more info about second browser extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Peri Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I use an ad blocker, but I really like this site so I disabled the ad blocker for photo.net. No problem having one small ad in a given thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 One little ad per page I can deal with. I have disabled ad block for p/n to see what happens. Anything flashes and I'm gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Peri Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hmm... it seems there are 3 ads (less than an inch high) instead of one like I said. I swear, I didn't even notice 2 of them LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Thats what they don't get, eventually we tune them all out completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonjb Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 So it appears our choices now are to have the functionalaity of PN impaired by ads blocking menus or use an adblocker and have the OH! NO! banner block functionality. The ugly OH! NO! banner shows up in Firefox but so far not in Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendunton Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 My page looks like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonjb Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Oh Fun! The server error banner now marries to the AdBlocker warning banner to take up even more screen real estate. I had to switch browsers to get around the banner to post an image. This is gonna get old fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Dieter, can you give a little more info about second browser extension? Apparently it was Kaspersky Protection blocking banner ads. The pop-up disappeared after I disabled the protection for the pn website. Need to add that this was on firefox. On Chrome, it sufficed to whitelist pn for ad block plus to make the pop-up disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I get 3 or 4 ads on every thread. 2 or 3 at the top and one at the bottom. Annoying, but there you have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Keefer Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 This is annoying, I have a premium account. We shouldn't see ads. Also still waiting for a response on losing a month of paid membership because I paid for next year almost a month early. Very disappointed. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman 202 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 subscribers shouldn’t see ads so something has clearly gone awry. i do wish management were a little more communicative about stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigo Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 What is it going to take to get PN Admin to react to this and get the site working or whatever was working before this AdBlock plaster came into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Salo Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 This may be the final straw for me. I can't even reply to some of the posts in this forum. It is the final straw for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Snell Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Because advertising is very important to the funding of our site and directly related to our ability to pay for important things like top tier programmers and faster servers, vistors using adblocking software will see site functionality restricted. Once photo.net has been whitelisted (adblocking software disabled when on photo.net), site functionality that was previously restricted will be restored. This is from p.net newsletter which arrived today. Go figure. Top tier programmers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
