I have only one thing to say, ghostery.

According to Adblock i have 14 adverts on here that are being blocked.I have blocked all of the adverts down the right hand side and have tried blocking this stupid car video one.Unfortunately if i block the first car video ad on one thread it still pops up on the next topic i click on.Ah well i will just use this site less and frequent other car forums that don't rely on intrusive adverts.

I have no moral problem running adblockers. I'm never intentionally going to click on an ad and they dont influence me in my purchasing decisions. In fact the opposite, intrusive or objectional ads turn me dead against the brand. For example I will never ever use gocompare while ever they continue to have that t*** singing. And I dont need reminding about christmas mr m&s, et al.

Using an adblocker is win-win for all. I dont get angry. The website uses less bandwidth. Everything is faster. And the companies behind the ads dont get alienated straight away.

Third party advertising via a website is just bribery as far as I'm concerned.

So how do you suggest a website like this pays the bills?

Same here, that lexus ad has really brought the site down to a crawl. I gave up flicking between threads.

I also realise that this site depends on hosting nonsense to survive, and like Brum I have developed an automatic immunity to adverts over several decades so I'm not too bothered. What I do find intensely annoying is the screen content bouncing up and down while the site 'waits for cache' and then for other bits and pieces. It can take several seconds to settle, sometimes more than I can, so I go elsewhere.

No such issues here and noo ads.

Chrome/W10/W10 Seciurity and Ad block.

As I've said many times before, my concern is with the content of the forum, although I can confirm that advertising is our main source of revenue without which the forum couldn't operate.

Thank you.

Many thanks, Avant. I've emailed to that address :

Dear sir/madam,

The index page shows a post to this topic at 10.47 today, but I can't see it. Why is that?

My (admittedly fast) PC with Firefox and the ad-blockers generally has coped well (the recent 'cardboard' Flashplayer ad being an exception), but like you, my tablet (a Samsung Galaxy Tab2) never has coped with ads like that - it just about does ok on Firefox/Chrome (but not on Samsung's own web browser) for the HJ website, but the DT crawls along (it has lots of those sort of ads, much to my annoyance). I have to use a memory manager to turn off loads of programs just to make the DT work at all (and to a lesser extent HJ), and you can forget about multi-tasking.

Other well-known websites (with ads) aren't anywhere near as bad as the DT. I have no problem in HJ's website having ads (my ad-blocker doesn't stop them all), as long as they don't impair my use of the site (e.g. pop-ups and reducing the available screen size as well as browsing speed). As you say, a happy medium and use of software to show the ads that has a low impact on computer memory usage/performance for the vast majority. Hopefully something can be found to accommodate everyone.
