ditchman Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 ok .........they are all over the forum..........and there is precious little i can do about it....... there is one ad i find particularly distgusting.......and it is in yer face all the bloody time........large as life stomach churning...(similar to some of my posts some might say) and that is an advert showing some low life pulling a gobbet of very dirty earwax out of aforsaid ear........anyone else seeing the same bloody ad....its advertising some sort of drill to drill the wax out of your ear.........not nice when you have just had your tea keep on following the GOOGLE instructions to remove the inapropiate advert......which is about as much use as a chocolate tea pot..........im sick and tired of ads all over the forum...and i dont see why i should put myself out buying or downloading dubios stuff off the net to try and get risd of them..... i have already made my position clear that i would be prepared to pay a nominal fee/year to prevent this ........which is a moot point as i dont think i will last another year on here as i have run out of get out of jail free cards.............. pictures of earwax make me baff rant over............

turbo33 Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Same here Ditchy; sick to death of them particularly the one you mentioned! Also done everything I know to stop them popping up. Rarely come on here now because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ditchy deleting the app/program will not remove it from the computer registry, you will need to go into your settings and use the "uninstall" app/program for complete removal.

DoolinDalton Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Totally agree with you Ditchy Sir....absolutely disgusting! I always eat my meals at the computer desk and mostly read the PW forum...yeh, sad, I know😲. But just when I'm about to take the first mouthful of my meal.....some fool pulling a tablespoon full of dirty, brown earwax out just puts me off eating..so I turn PW forum off until I'm finished!

sportsbob Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Change your browser for a new one called "Brave" I have been using it for months , it has built in add blockers and cleans this site up no end. Once installed go into the settings and set it to remove all cookies etc on close in the advanced section. You can import your bookmarks and you are away.

Farmboy91 Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I only ever use this site on my phone, right now there are no ads anywhere. Sometimes I can't move for them, the dating ones it throws up always gives me a giggle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsbob Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I have just made the mistake of using chrome to login with, yep you guessed it adverts so I will now re login with brave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmicblue Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 I use 'Adblock Plus' is the tool you need. https://www.adblockplus.org/en/download Be mindful that some sites depend on revenue derived from adverts (especially news sites) so may block you for using the tool. It is possible to 'whitelist' the site and allow adverts - it is under your control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
