Adverts from the classifieds section....pops up in the activity stream. Just seems like an awful lot of stuff I don’t need is for sale here these days.what are these adverts of which you speak??
all I see are top and lower banners, and to be honest I find them useful.
Good to know it’s not just me then.Is there genuinely nothing we can do
About the interminable stream of ads. It really is painful looking at new posts and finding 2 posts per page that are not ads for 10 pages.Fridays are worst. Please admin can you find a solution Swww.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk
I changed to Opera fo the same reasonone thing i did was to change my browser to Avast Secure Browser which seems to cut a lot of ads out, not only on this site but on others too.
I have no connection with Avast, but i am trying to cut all my connections with Google who seem to know all about me, and everything i do.
I never minded adverts for stalking etc. but there’s so much crap for sale on here now. It’s like being at a game fair ffs.
It used to be that there was some great value stalking and equipment but now it’s like everyone in stalking is trying to make a quick buck somehow.
I’ve tried looking at what csl sent a link to but I must be doing something wrong because I still can’t seem to work out how to do it.
You’re forgetting the 6 categories of adverts under “Stalking, Training, and Other Opportunities”.The only place I find adds is at the bottom and top of the page and in the classified section.
What’s the solution?You’re forgetting the 6 categories of adverts under “Stalking, Training, and Other Opportunities”.
Not to mention the blizzard of red & green on page after page of ‘New Posts’.
Full marks to CSL today for his inspired solution to these ... a bloody brilliant fix.
While they were driving me mad, it’s sobering to see how quickly other people grew so accustomed to their presence that they no longer noticed them.
I hadn’t thought that could happen.
Ok does this mean that I don’t press the lightning bolt any more then? I have set the settings as you recommend but when I press lightning bolt it still shows classifieds.It's here... and has been here since Nov 23 2018!
‘New posts’ - How to only show the forums you are interested in? (e.g ignoring Classifieds)
'New posts' is customisable and you can choose which forums to see and which to ignore. 'What's new' shows everything and is not customisable. When you press 'New Posts' (not 'What's new') you can set only the forums you're interested in, the rest will be ignored. On each Forum page (e.g here...www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk
Ok, I think I’ve got it, so the lightning bolt means “what’s new” which shows the classifieds and I now need to look up “new posts” instead which is where the stuff I am interested in is saved.You can click the green "New posts" button, or you can click "New posts" via the menu, it doesn't matter.
Read the whole thing again... it sounds like you haven't "Saved as default" yet.
