    Default Adverts embedded in posts.

    Just wondering if this is something at my end or AOS.s. Adverts have started appearing in individual posts. I cannot recall it happening previously.

    Ads have always been there but I agree they have suddenly become very intrusive and now take up much of the screen. Very irritating!

    Ads appearing in places other than at the top and bottom of a page, are due to a change in Forum policy regarding site income and revenue from advertising. https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...54#post1023254

    As mentioned in the link, it is expected the software will 'learn' where it places the new adverts, and not have them appear within posts (which I agree is extremely annoying). If you really can't wait for the system to settle, then the only solution will be to install an ad-blocker, which will remove all advertising from the site. The downside is that if you click on some links that will take you off-site, you will be asked for permission (for a one-off allowance), the webpage will refresh and you will need to re-click on the link. This obviously takes up your time and the presence of ad-blocking software will affect the speed of your computer.

    again, an ad block will get rid of on pc. if on a mobile then the tapatalk app is ad free and much easier to use than a browser, plus you get free image hosting...its a win win.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Ironically there is just such an embedded advert, for bras of all things, within the first post of this thread.

    Thanks for the explanation and link. I should have had a search on the site before posting. I’ve been away and noticed it when I returned. I use an ad blocker on the PC but noticed them being intrusive on the iPad. No massive concern and happy with the explanation.

    Guys,

    This subject was covered at length only the other day, see here: https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...-Popup-and-ads

    Plus, a notice has even been posted about it on the Noticeboard: https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...54#post1023254

    In future therefore, in instances like this, could all members please *read the forum first*, to see whether the issue concerned is already being/has already been discussed, before posting a new thread on the same topic?

    Cheers!

    Marco.

    Lucky you. I get adverts for holiday lets in Cornwall. I don't know why. I think their profiling algorithms need more work.
