What do I have to do?
 
To dump the ad in the first posts? Pretty annoying.

More $$ I assume.

Give me that demo 29' and I will make the bad ads go away.

No chit! I got ad block but the ads are still there on occasion and the text still stacks up down the page while photos are miniturized.
This just ruins many posts.

I have used Firefox with ad block for years without issue. Its actually kinda funny I see these posts and think :confused: huh . . . . . cant remember last time a saw an ad :D

No ads no where top to bottom

I use ad blocker and don't see the ads but the words still stack up. I love how IB came on and asked what we would fix, I think this was the most popular.

Yet still there.

Like I can afford 18,000 dollar headers on a motor I don't have

Click on the site wide poll and make sure you tick the second bullet point.

I encourage everyone to do the same, even those who have mastered the 'add block' thingy, please do it for me and the others who aren't so computer literate. :):)

RR

P.S. I just voted and atm, 16/17 voters have agreed on that point. Keep the number up there!!

The ad may not be there but the text is still smashed in the corner and the pictures are tiny.

I don't care if an ad takes the whole slot of a post, but to make them share space does not work!

I understand there is ad blockers and such. They have been around forever.
IMHO I should not have to download something to my PC so I can stop a site I have been coming to for years and posted 1000's of post to from making my visit miserable. If I have to be proactive against a site then that site is not welcoming to me.
The bottom line is since they started this ad onslaught I have been posting less and less and for that matter coming here less and less. I'm sure I am not alone.

f_inscreenname 07-23-2016 11:04 AM

As an example, no one has posted in the bilge section for 12 days.

Cash Bar 07-23-2016 03:01 PM

Go to the poll. That subject is in first place in voting.

already done but nothing will change because if they were listening and/or cared it would have already happened

Flightplan 07-23-2016 04:41 PM

Im Not so sure the ad is purely an IB issue. I'm on other forums owned by IB that DO NOT have the first post ad.

These other forums are much more busy than OSO.
