ADS on This Site

[Steve R Jones]

PS, is it just me or is anyone else noticing the lack of adverts since the speed improvement.

These ADS??

I can see the ads with Chrome if I disable two of my extensions.... MS Edge also shows them. A moderator on a sister site can't see them either.

This moderator lives in Canada.... He can't see the ads but his brother can. I'm waiting to hear back about where the brother lives...

Me thinks it might be a Regional thing.


EDIT: Join in the fun.... Can you see the ads?

I always use Chrome.
If I switch to Edge without login then I see at first 2 ads in the same place (targetted for the Netherlands)
When I go to cookie settings and disable a lot then I get no advertisements

I use an ad blocker (Adblock plus) with Firefox.

I use Brave, but I created a tampermonkey script that removes the DOM elements that display the ads.

And when you disable Adblock plus - I'm guessing you still can't see the ads.....Correct?

I'm trying to determine if the ads only show to members within a certain region like the USA.

When I disable Adblock for vbforums.com I do see adverts - at the top and down the right hand side. Adblock says that for this forum page it has blocked 7 ads.

Thank you.... That kind of kills my thoughts on it being a regional issue.

Well, I have not enabled anything on this browser (palemoon v 33.2) and since the system administration taking place I simply do NOT see the ads any more. Rather pleased. Prior to the work, it was all ads, top and right hand side. No recent upgrade to palemoon.

I do have an Adblocker, always have - but it is set to always disabled for vbforums.

I can see them in Firefox.

Thanks for all the feedback....

The moderator on our sister site started seeing the ads too. So.. Who knows.... I think we're good...

Palemoon not seeing any ads - an image to prove the point.
