General Forum Access and Usability Issues

This is probably out of your hands but the ads with sound that show up on this forum are really annoying. I have my popup blocker turned off for this site but they make me want to turn it back on.

We've noticed. Working on it.

Any auto play ads, copy the link to them (by right clicking and copying the URL only) and send to me and I'll have them blocked.

How does one post a tweet these days? I see we have a new format.

Right here, bud:

Are you using the trial version?

Those are new. Tapatalk has been rolling them out slowly.

You get rid of them with the paid version, I believe. They put ads in the free version because they're scum.

Or because they provide a product free of charge otherwise.

Scum, Phil. Scum.

i'm going with scum too!

thanks guys. and yeah i'm using the free version.

Should I take all the ads on the forum down then?

 

Nah, rather be scum and not have to pay out of pocket every time the monthly server bill comes around.

Your ads are out of the way. Their ads are made to look like they're part of the app, like they're actually a post on the forum. The only indication that it's an ad is a little "up" arrow in the corner of the "post". That's scummy.

Phil's auto play ads are scummy.

You guys can read about my thoughts on the matter on my blog

Phil's auto play ads are scummy.

 

Phil doesn't have any ads on the site. Auto-play ads happen by default, same as any other ad based on what you are searching for, what's being spoken about on the forum, etc.

Sure. Sure.

For the past few days, I've had trouble accessing the Forum during the morning, not getting a connection. (aka. 7am to 2pm CET)

Any known issues/Server maintenance?

We've had some intermittent outages. We're looking into it with our host. Will keep you posted.

Thanks, thought it was something like that. Just wanted to make sure, whether you already knew about it.

Same problem here in France :(

I had this issue this morning again, around 830ish.

Same here. We're trying to resolve, but keep posting the outages so we know when they are happening.

 

Thanks.
