Adkat Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Is there any reason that I'm getting spam ads popping up on the site all of a sudden? I see @terry asked about it on another thread. Just curious if something's changed Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75488-annoying-ads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Popular Post Barry Posted May 6 Solution Popular Post Share Posted May 6 Sorry guys...I added a google ads and analytics module to help with search engine rankings. They are supposed to be UN-obtrusive but I didn't know they were poppin up on mobile screens like that! I will get it fixed up! Until then...enjoy the bikini ads, LOL! ETA: I think the popups are fixed now! You should only ever see the forum advertiser banners under the header and a google banner under the footer. Let me know if there are any more popups! 2 1 Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75488-annoying-ads/#findComment-575203 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Heinz Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 1 hour ago, tjc transport said: i will say it again..... adblock plus eliminates them all. I run uBlock Origin on any desktop that allows me to: PC at home and at work. Blocks Youtube ads, blocks Disney ads, I haven't had any ads escape past it. I can't stand the modern era of cramming ads down your throat, it's so dystopian in nature it almost makes my skin crawl. Not to mention when ads start showing junk that shouldn't be in public view if you catch what I mean. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75488-annoying-ads/#findComment-575206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 agreed. ever since google decided they own the internet it has gotten totally out of hand. i was running a ford falcon site first started in 1999. about 6 years ago google said we had to pay then for secure access. we told them to kiss where the sun dont shine. three years ago they made the site disappear for non payment for secure access.
