I’m looking for a bit of extra work if you need anything doing in the garden?

Kev i know its a pain in the arse, but its the only way to raise the money for hosting costs, you can bypass the ads like @Munkworth and @Amputechture have said and done, notice it says AF under their avatar, that means they paid to go ad free, even i as moderator have to put up with ads on my phone and desktop as i cant block pop ups becasue i will also block PM's. just go Ad Free mate, it works out to 9p per day.

If I go ad free will it stop the site basically stopping any device I have 

this site spikes my laptop to 100% for memory and disk

It's attached to your account so the ad's will stop on any device you have signed in on. I doubt it's the website spiking memory at 100%, it will be your browser doing that.

Yea I’m not sure Ads will spike it to 100%, that sounds much more sinister unrelated to here, and worth running some protection on your computer.

Ad-free will though speed the site no end as it doesn’t have to even look to load ads.  Even quicker than a blocker.

Is it recommended to use desktop over mobile? Mobile is almost entirely impossible to use due to some of the ads loading, then reloading or something - I’m not sure, By then page jumps around continuously and I’ve lost my spot. Not the end of the world just frustrating and I just get off the site. 
 

as I mentioned I’m on mobile 97% now and it’s almost unbearable. I used to have an app that had this forum on it but it doesn’t work anymore. But ultimately, I’m barely active on here anymore bc I just don’t have the access to desktop anymore like I used to. 

I'll look into that jumping thing chief. That app I think was Tapatalk but was just another expense when things were tighter. On ad-free, you don't get a single ad load or any blank spaces where they should be!

Thanks for the reply, Mod! I will definitely look into the ad-free version for sure. Keep up the good work! It is appreciated even if I complain a good amount 😂

Just cannot use the site on any mobile device now it’s just impossible 

They've actually been scaled back! There is this if you find them too much....

Interestingly the forum doesn't let me browse anymore when my adblocker (uBlock Origin) is disabled. It shows me the "please disable adblocker" pop-up. I need to enable the adblocker instead in order to browse the site. It didn't use to be like that and I always disable adblocker on sites I wish to support. I also disabled tracker blocking in Edge browser, but that didn't help. Any idea what's going on?

No it doesn't 🤔

hmm, that's weird @manpe Only saw that once when it was down to Norton, have you got that installed?

Either way, from the 23rd of this month, it should be working better.

Nope, I use Bitdefender Antivirus, but there were no issues before. I feel a bit guilty browsing the forum without ads, so I hope it will be fixed soon.

@Moduekethe ads are starting to do you dirty.

If it helps the site I don't really mind scrolling past the ads. But then again I never use a phone to access The Shed End which seems to be the biggest problem.

Even phone is ok now cause there isn’t the bouncing pages as there once used to be!

The other option is ad-free, it supports the site (not that you of all people need to Scott), does the whole year without interruptions, and doesn’t create blank spaces where Ads would be. It also opens a live chatroom.
