Yes for me. Safari and Chrome, iPad and computer, thread to thread.

Glad I found this thread as I have been scrambling for the past 30 mins trying to troubleshoot my antivirus and Adblock software.

mmalek1 · 10 May 2019, 09:44 AM

I really thought it was just me and my luck. Glad the mods caught my post right away and sent me here. I guess we were lucky and avoided ads for a long time while on TRF, everything good comes to an end.

Eatapp · 10 May 2019, 10:39 AM

Still not as bad as the Bimmerfest forums. Those videos make it unbearable to scroll.

Rolexoman · 10 May 2019, 11:05 AM

I just noticed the bottom screen pop up .....Can’t do that so turned on NeverAds app for my iPad

SPMN · 10 May 2019, 11:24 AM

Glad it’s just a test. I was worried for a bit. I used to be on a car forum that was hacked. This is how it started there.

As others have said, I would happily donate more annually to prevent ads. The server costs must be astronomical with all the pics over thousands (tens of thousands?) of threads.

tng11 · 10 May 2019, 12:22 PM

Terrible

- A real fly in the ointment for me.

btinl · 10 May 2019, 12:25 PM

The ADs are terrible...

ArtNouveau · 10 May 2019, 12:26 PM

I’ll be blunt. I enjoy the camaraderie and knowledge I’ve built up here but I’m not willing to deal with this for a little watch chat. Whomever thought this was a good idea...don’t see how you could possibly have thought the members here would embrace it.

MTBer · 10 May 2019, 12:44 PM

Just noticed the advertisements today. Do they go away if I become a pledge member, or do I need to block them at the domain level?

Altan · 10 May 2019, 12:51 PM

OMG... these ads are so annoying

Al1969 · 10 May 2019, 12:51 PM

Glad it’s not just me. I vote for NO ADS for members. They definitely “take away” from the TRF experience.

RobearH · 10 May 2019, 12:55 PM

72-0, so far even trolls hate the popup adds.

Boothroyd · 10 May 2019, 12:57 PM

Hmm...I wondered if I would get used to it. Just the opposite. It is distracting me more and more. Really interferes as you are trying to read through a thread that has good commentary.

Star Ferry · 10 May 2019, 12:59 PM

of course ownership is entitled to sell adspace. But to call it a test? These "test" ads still pay money

For some more totally true news, Gerardo spent 1000 hours planning WisCON and lost a million dollars of his own money producing 100 rubber bracelets

Caynuck · 10 May 2019, 01:07 PM

Not a fan of these pop ups. How do I move forward

Keepchasing · 10 May 2019, 01:15 PM

Extremely annoying.
Please someone do something about these ads.

Time2Travel · 10 May 2019, 01:36 PM

Please stop the pop up ads!

Andad · 10 May 2019, 01:45 PM

Where are all these pop up ads you are are all talking about?

MTBer · 10 May 2019, 01:46 PM

Is this one of those “all good things must come to an end” scenarios, or can the ads be disabled via paid membership? I don’t want to have to disable them via dns blacklisting

If this happens not only will we gets ads but now we'll be tortured by them showing us watches we cant buy anywhere. Your a masochist …

What it actually means is that there would be zero ads.

GB-man · 10 May 2019, 02:19 PM

Have to be honest I really don’t like seeing pop up ADs, particularly when I donate every year to the cause. Paid members shouldn’t have the ADs imho.

Very distracting and downgrades the experience greatly.

maylebox · 10 May 2019, 03:03 PM

Whew I thought it was just me until I ran across this thread. This was happening to me on both WUS and TRF. I tried 3 different browsers but it happened on all 3. It seems to have stopped in the last 1/2 hour or so. Hopefully it's gone for good. Man that was driving me nuts :)

Edit: on a side note I don't think I could've found this particular forum if I tried. Who knew?

At the bottom of every page when you view on laptop.

Thankfully absent on mobile.

Andad · 10 May 2019, 04:51 PM

I haven’t seen any on my computer, laptop or iPad.

On my iPhone as well.
Seem to be gone this morning.

beshannon · 10 May 2019, 08:48 PM

I always block all ads, my work pc does so automatically.

This does explain the slowness I am getting though on Chrome as the ads need to be blocked.

Remembering why I have all but stopped using this forum

brandrea · 10 May 2019, 09:02 PM

They’re not coming in anymore here (Safari) ... anyone?

I have had 3 or 4 in the last 30 minutes.. to echo Bas, I too, will pay more pledge for an ad-free zone

Welshwatchman · 10 May 2019, 09:28 PM

Remember that day we had popup adverts?

That was fun and no one complained at all.

Weird... I'm not getting them this morning but was all last evening.

I agree that it takes away from the enjoyment of the forum.
