Annoying Ads

[johnson86-1]

Anybody else unable to read the board because the damn autoplay ads at the bottom automatically scroll the screen down to the bottom and won't let you scroll back up until they're finished? Before restarting one minute later?

In chrome.

Yea, I am having the same issues. Seems like I remember someone saying to download the AdBlocker extension for Chrome and it took care of this. The ads are driving me crazy, so I guess I am about to break down and give it a try......I'll let you know how it works.

Desktop or mobile device?

Desktop.

Not sure this is relevant, but if move the window to one side of my screen, some webpages display their mobile website instead of their desktop website.

ETA: I checked and sixpack website looks the same whether I'm in half screen or full screen.

Yea - that's responsive design when that happens. As your screen gets smaller, the website "responds" to the size of your screen and adjusts.

SixPack - it detects if you are on a mobile device and will force you to use the mobile view unless you force it to use desktop.

FYI, I just downloaded the Fair AdBlocker extension from the Chrome Web Store, and it makes a world of difference on this site......no more ads and much faster.
