Unreadable posts caused by publicity


Hello,

sorry to report this,
but the publicity posted in the forums is so big, that you cannot read the posts anymore.

cheers mike

Oh, my.

I must say, I'm here almost every day and have observed nothing of that nature.

As an aside, I normally use Firefox.

Are you using it without logging in? Have you tried using adblock?

Hi,

thanks for the answers.
Well I'm always logged in and I have Firefox but no addblocker.

But if you look to the screenshot, you should also confirm, that this is not a pleasure.

From my point of view, this is a question of webdesign.
The banner is able to push the content so much to the right side,
that the post is no more readable.

I am in many forums, but I have never seen banners inside of content cells.

It's just a suggestion ...

Cheers mike

Install uBlock Origin and it'll get rid of that crap, and make your general web experience far nicer.

Thanks for the tip.

So? Follow the link and scroll down to the readme: it is a browser plugin, and thus OS-agnostic.

OK, understand ..

Works not bad.
Do not use this stuff so long.

But this publicity banners sometimes drive me crazy.

Thanks

You should not be seeing ads while logged in, it's possible this ad is being injected somewhere else.
