I have been off this site for a month or so because of projects on the go etc. Came back recently & boom. It is not easy to follow a thread anymore. Half way through someone's comment is an ad for something or other. Just a comment. Cannot complain on a free forum.

Agree. - it’s become totally swamped with adverts mid thread, above, below. Really ruining enjoyment.steviegtr wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 10:43 pm I have been off this site for a month or so because of projects on the go etc. Came back recently & boom.

For sure free forums need ads, but a balance

The ads used to be at the top and bottom.
With just two posts on this topic I have four large adverts of which two are mid thread and one mid post.
Didn't know I needed a CFD whatever that is, no I'm not renovating the bathroom and I'm pretty such I have no hair that needs shining. They don't even seem related to cookies or stuff I've looked at.
The XE forum is OK. Just a small advert banner top and bottom so unsure what's changed over here.
Admin/mods???

Fully agree here - it makes it very difficult to follow where the thread breaks and the advert starts. And of course lots more scrolling required to follow a full thread before posting.
Really like the layout and ease of use of this site so I do hope something can be done to return the adverts to their previous format - they do rather overwhelm the threads now.

Buy yourself a raspberry pi and set up a pi-hole - https://pi-hole.net/
Very simple to set up and manage. I cannot remember the last time I saw an advert on any site since running mine. You have the added benefit that you don't require ad-blockers in your browser which many sites can now detect.
Basically, the pi-hole intercepts every web request from your device and checks it against a block-list. If the domain is on the block-list, it gets dropped and never goes out to the Internet. I currently run a block list with over 1 million domains.
The pi-hole also blocks any links to known malicious domains, so is works alongside your anti-malware to ensure your browsing is as safe as can be.

Appreciate there are work-arounds but it’s a shame if that proves a necessary evil.
