Ad persistence irritation on RBUK forum

[timkrik]

Anyone else find it irritating that the page returns to the top after scrolling down? I presume this is intentional to ensure continuous display of the video advert displayed at the top of page.

No, mine doesnt! sometimes it skips back up a bit if there is a lot of photo content on the post and its slow loading, but only on this steam powered laptop im using at the moment :roll:

Could be related to your pointer settings depnding what version of Windows you are using

Re:

Even worse are the ones that follow you as you scroll down or when some random ad starts up loud...

Getting / Using Ad blocker was the best thing I've done in a while

Stops all of the above

Re:

yeah i don't have any adverts at all on retrobike, there used to be a way of turning them off in the forum settings on your profile control panel, although frankly i don't know how to do it or if it is still possible.

but i believe ad blocker software is still the best thing generally, i'm sure someone can advise how to get and install it better than i can but also bear in mind that the ads effectively pay for the site which is a necessary evil i suppose which is why they are there.
