Shit's Borked


RPM

Recommended Posts

How do i become a member to avoid the ads? I couldn't post for most of this afternoon and even now I have adds covering up posts with no way to remove them. I get this site needs to make money, not complaining. I just want to improve my experience here.

 

edit: I've been around since the shaggy days.. hell, since the hornfans days... but took a decade off after that shitstorm went down. Rejoined surly back in 2021 I guess. If any of that makes a difference.

Ads everywhere. And I’ve been looking at them like an old school Sears catalog. But it’s everywhere. Fix this shit Rich!

Seeing video ads where it appears there should be links or imbedded content. When the ad is over, it disappears and leaves an empty post. 
 

but later someone might quote it, so I know it isn’t really empty, just borked. 

I don’t know how you are seeing ads. What theme are you using? 

I logged in as you and see no ads.

I went to page 893 of the Ukraine thread and scrolled down when the stuff loaded- here’s 2 examples.

when the ad finishes, I’m left with an empty post  


theme is surly main dark.  On phone  .

I’ll look into it, but you should probably use light theme until I can get to a computer and fix it after the game.

I saw exactly what Pato saw last night, but in the light theme. Same thread, too.

Seeing more of it today in that thread... blank posts that look like they should have embedded content, but sometimes show ads instead.

This is on chrome mobile (Android)

I’m having the same issue on an iPhone and Adblock seems to have no effect.

This site has become completely unusable on my PC.  The ads are so intrusive I’m not even able to post from the computer.  I can eventually make my way through the ads on my phone to post.  I go to many websites and this one has by far the most challenging user experience.

this is going to be fixed later today - right now logged out and logged in users were seeing the same ads that will change today.

I cant give certain rep on posts that have something embedded. For example, I can give the bottom 3 choices, but anything that's overlaying the youtube video, it just clicks on the video to start it. Same with tweets that are embedded.

iPhone? WebKit is a garbage browser.
