Cellbine Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I was wondering if everyone here is seeing the same thing I see when getting to this forum. I have an entire page of banners and ads before I see anything thread/post related. I have to scroll past this every time I click a link. Is anyone else seeing the same thing as me? This is what I'm seeing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Yeah, it's pretty bad. Worse than before. I guess they figured nobody scrolls to the bottom, so everything is up top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I thought it's been that way for some time. I don't even notice the ads - I just scroll down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Use Adblock Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Just might be time to do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARR142 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Cellbine are you using Chrome browser when viewing these ads? If so try Firefox with adblock and noscript addons, to avoid them. Chrome with adblock let's these thru, I don't use Chrome anymore.

Cellbine Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Use Adblock Plus. Yeah, right after I posted this thread I installed adblock. Chrome lets these ads through because they are google ads. I thought it's been that way for some time. I don't even notice the ads - I just scroll down. It has, but with the new banner it seems much larger. That is what spurred my post. Site has changed for the worse for me ! I'm with you.

trsundstrom Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Today I was looking through areas of the web site I haven't visited before. What I find amusing is that invariably the first ads displayed below the banner are for Chrysler and Dodge. I know ad placement is beyond the control of the web designers, but it is a bit strange, given the purpose of these pages. Can't make it up.

akirby Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I believe the ads are based on other websites you've visited recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipworkz Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) At first I was wondering what the heck you guys were talking about. I forgot I have Adblock Plus installed in Chrome so I don't see those ads. Edited March 6, 2015 by chipworkz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trsundstrom Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Re showing ads based upon sites visited, I have never been on auto manufacturers web sites except Ford. Last Jeep I drove was when I was 16, learning to drive in a 1948 Willys. The last Dodge I drove was a company car, about 30 years ago. Dunno what Google thinks, but ad serving is a strange business. No matter. I use an Android tablet 95% of the time (rarely use the Win7 laptop anymore), so AdBlock isn't an option. I just thought the choice of ads was amusing.
