It's not the function of a Mod to address technical concerns - it should be - to shut up feckless whingers, however... 87p Hmm.. big deal - I suppose times are harder than I understood in Saudi. ps small disturbances are nothing to what used to be the days of pure blackness that kept striking the original guestbook. Think yourself quite lucky - apart from supporting St Mirren. Young people nowadays... easily distracted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be bereft if the site died. It's clearly your primary (only?) social outlet. I have met Div a few times. Seems a decent enough guy. He would no doubt walk past me in the street without a hint of recognition. I'm turning 47 next year, have a family, and a relatively broad and stimulating social circle. I have no need to court the attention and favour of Div, or anyone else. I am simply pointing out a simple and inexpensive means by which you, and others, might resolve this particular issue. If you aren't willing to accept it in that spirit, then what is there left for me to say, but go f**k yourself. Says the guy who spends half his life in a garden hut.

faraway saint Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 When I activate my VPN the BMW ad takes over, when the VPN is not being used, the ad disappears? Might be of some help if anyone is interested, although it's only been 8 days sine any indication of any interest from our chief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we have had issues on P&B too, but think they are resolved. There are new ad types that the advertisers are pushing, but there have been issues. On the desktop the ads are supposed to run in the space around the forum on both sides which is actually quite good as it means they don't interfere with the forum itself (when they are working the way they are supposed to). I've no wish to push people towards paying to use the site, the supporters pay for enough as it is, the option to opt-out and pay to avoid the ads is just that, an option. B&W Army will always be free to use, paid for by the advertisers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) ^^^^^^^^^ Drew will be upset................his recent push to increase the "pay-per-post" membership has fallen on it's arse. Meanwhile the "Tight Cnut" club membership is going through the roof.................although it is a pretty low roof.

div Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I've re-enabled one of the ad units this morning. I think the two we run were getting in the way of each other. I'm waiting on the ad guys fixing the bottom one, but do let me know if you see any repeat of the issues that affected us over the last week or so. Note that there are NO pop-up ads on B&W Army. We don't take any pop ups. The issue you've been seeing is the new ad style overlaying on top of the screen instead of appearing at the side like it supposed to. Now you should see the likes of this when you see a skin/wrap advert appear; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 As long as it doesn't get in the way any advert it's fine with me and my new BMW is a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Currently theirs an Acuvue ad that's taking over the site. On desktop it stops scrolling down, keeps taking the page back to the top where the ad is playing non stop. Flippin nuisance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
