Report Problems with Ads Here!

At the risk of Chief continuing to suggest user error, and with no real expectation of help, I wanted to mention that after a week of fairly normal performance, the issues of freezing when viewing the site or entering text, and lagging text entry, have returned today, and are much more severe.

As noted earlier, I am using an Android phone and Chrome browser. Problems occur when on TMobile network or ATT internet access I do not have these issues at other sites. I certainly don't know if they are related to the new ad platform, but I experienced them for the first time immediately after its implementation.

I still don’t think it’s the site. If it was I would think more than a “few” (relative to membership) would be having problems and posting about it.

But I am often wrong :D

Oh it is I promise, ever since the block of animated ad's appeared. See my other post above

I don’t know. But I have gone through all the threads on this subject. It is the same handful reporting problems. I will stand by my opinion if it’s only effecting a “few” and just as many are saying they have no problems... well :dunno:

I am no IT weeny but have fixed gear others use since 1984 and symptom recognition tells me there is more than just a site problem. But like I said I could be wrong :rolleyes:
 
I am running an ad blocker now too. It is just out of hand.

I can see needing ads to make a profit, but this is a bit too much.
 
Logging into AK on Chromebook the ads go away, they are not particularly intrusive unless signed out making the site problematic.
My trusty old Windows 7 pc sees zero ad intrusion when using Firefox as my browser, signed in or not.
However, switch browsers to Chrome and the ads make themselves more apparent but I can X out of them whether signed in or not.
Old tech seems less affected.
 
Just an FYI,
I've been running an ad blocker (currently uBlock Origin) and tracker blocker (Ghostery) for years now. I just temporarily disabled them to see if some pictures that weren't working would somehow reappear. AK immediately slowed my computer WAY down, and there were plenty of ads at the bottom of the screen. And according to Firefox, all kinds of crap was constantly attempting to load in the browser.

Needless to say, I immediately turned the blockers back on.:eek:
 
Audiokarma seems to have got a viral adds all over. How can i get rid of this ?

Ahh, solved. Ghostery is blocked by a software error in firefox. Deinstall and
reinstall solved this.

Well, since this doesn’t really seem to have been addressed, I’m going to just make one last plea for a subscriber option that removes the ads. To be blunt, I will not be renewing my subscription (and I have been a subscriber for many years) if I have to continue to see this quantity of ads on AK. It’s the only website I visit that is even CLOSE to this level. I don’t need to pay for that. Thanks for listening.
 
This is news to me -- I am running Mozilla on a Fedora Linux box...I run an adblocker on the network called pi-hole which filters ads for any network client. Basically a custom DNS..I see no ads... (ok - I guess I do see the Bob Carver ad at the top :) )
