Sentience Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Every time I make a category selection on MF I get a pain in the derrier pop-up. How do I get rid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Subscribe. Contribute to the cost of keeping MF going. No ads. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 My subscription lapsed for a bit, and the ads were just so annoying. How do you guys cope, or do you all have ad-blockers or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are so old they haven’t had to deal with a pop up for years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 The ads are actually for goods or services that I wouldn't ever need or be tempted to use? I might have to become a subscriber, it's been a good 18 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Seems to be location dependent - last time I viewed the Manxforums site from outside of the island the number of adverts were overwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Colombe Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I wouldn't subscribe myself, it should be the other way round. The admins of MF should be paying the biggest content providers of the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-lane Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 It is only 5.48 pence per day (except leap years). How much does it cost to run this site? I have my own web space that is less than £100 per year. That's just loose change for some moderators. In fact, some moderators would call it drink money. Of course, I don't get as many visitors as ManxForums. In fact, I don't get any visitors at all. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only happens on my phone when starting. A quick back arrow and it's done. Carry on ad free from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
