58 Impala Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Is it just my computer or does everyone have the same thing. Now when you open one of the categories the second thread down is an advertisement. I know it pays the bills but I prefer it be in an innocuous corner somewhere. I just discovered when you open a thread it's on every one. Very annoying. Edited July 31, 2013 by 58 Impala
Rob Hall Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 My big question is... if the admin people pin all their topics about the forum in General, why do member questions about the forum get booted into Off Topic? General is near the top of the forum list, Off Topic is down near the bottom and you have to scroll to get to it... by putting it in Off Topic, they are hoping most people don't see it..
martinfan5 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 For those that are using FireFox https://adblockplus.org/en/firefox For those that are using Chrome https://adblockplus.org/en/chrome For those that are using IE https://adblockplus....ternet-explorer General is near the top of the forum list, Off Topic is down near the bottom and you have to scroll to get to it... by putting it in Off Topic, they are hoping most people don't see it.. Now Rob, are trying to say they want to sweep this issue under the rug ?

Well, blocking the ads kind of defeats the purpose of putting the ads in there...

Ads are every where else in life so big deal

Uh, if I remember correctly, you guys are the ones that wanted an "off topic" section and wanted the "General" section to be model/automotive related ONLY. REMEMBER??? YOU GUYS WANTED IT THAT WAY. So we gave you what you wanted. And now you're crying about it.
Danno Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Here's a great alternative to all of those folks who are annoyed by the ads: Send Gregg a (good) check for a hundred bucks. After all the annoyed people do that, he can probably remove the revenue-producing ads. Me? The ads don't bother me. I just ignore them like I ignore certain people.

REMEMBER??? YOU GUYS WANTED IT THAT WAY. So we gave you what you wanted. And now you're crying about it. You miss the point. By the logic of separating General from Off-Topic, Gregg's pinned board admin theme posts should be in Off Topic also.

mistermodel Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 way down at the bottom,even further than the trucks LOL LOL LOL

sjordan2 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Uh, if I remember correctly, you guys are the ones that wanted an "off topic" section and wanted the "General" section to be model/automotive related ONLY. REMEMBER??? YOU GUYS WANTED IT THAT WAY. So we gave you what you wanted. And now you're crying about it. I'll repeat myself. 1. Discussing the workings of the host model car forum is not related to model cars? 2. Why are the admin pinned subjects about the forum still in General and not in Off Topic, while every comment on those subjects is moved to Off Topic? The requests for the Off Topic forum had to do with moving subjects from General where members could share stuff like "Here's my dog," "I don't feel good today," "My little girl's graduation pictures," etc. A place to commune personally on literally "Off Topic" subjects.

Although you sometimes try, you're just not obnoxious enough to ignore. There are, however, a couple of yahoos around here . . . Edited July 31, 2013 by Danno
Ramfins59 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Yeah I'm now getting it too. I just ignore them. Really no big deal, other than being a little distracting.

MoparWoman Jamie Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Why don't you tell Gregg that, then? THEY did! They even told you! LOL Gregg decided to make the Lodge here instead. I guess someone miss the point and mark on that issue last year. Edited July 31, 2013 by M0par Jim
