Logged in but seeing ads

[Nigel-YZ1]

It's not earth shattering. I've gladly put CC on the permitted list in Adblock Plus, as I have with Spiceworks which is the hangout for my IT flunky alter ego.
I'm happy with a few banner ads. The ones I detest are autoplay videos and centre screen popups, which I hope aren't in our future.

It's OK, I am seeing ads to things I already bought so no issue.

Since the mechanism exists to not show the adverts to those of use who contributed, why not simply give us the option to buy an annual membership to disable the ads if we would like to?

Lots of apps work that way these days. I have some on my phone that I paid for because I like them but don't like the ads. There are other apps that don't show ads very often so I tolerate the ads and don't pay.

I feel cheated, just because I paid 50p why can't I see the ads? I like ads. Especially at this time of year...

I have been trying to find other sites for you that feature them. No luck so far, but if I track any down I will report back to you!

Yes, that's the joke.

They've had the same ads on another bike related site I frequent, for some time now

I don't have a problem with them. I do find some of the claims they are linked to your search history hard to believe though

For example - I currently have one at the bottom of this page for "UK Immigration Services"

Now I know for a fact I haven't ever searched for that

Maybe they've searched for you!

Yeah, what sort of name is Threevok? Sounds foreign. Let's have another look at your passport.

I don't mind seeing banner ads for products about which I have zero interest.
