New Ads Blocking Text

Chas in Cinti · 08-24-2021, 03:27 PM

All:

Seems some of the new ads paint a frame around the whole screen. I have searched for a way to minimize them back to the top banner... anyone else seeing this and seeing any ideas?

Regards,
chas

I guess no one else is seeing these things? They're killing me about every 3 or 4 screen paints....

I don’t get ads on iOS using the Child of Bulletin 3 skin. No adblocker, but no ads. Should solve it if you are on iOS

I get them to, but switched to the Sideline Green skin and they disappeared.

I'm a 'Yellow' man, and I've just been putting up with the ads for a looooong time now. But enough is enough. I've switched over to Sideline Green and sure enough they are gone.

Unfortunately now I have to stare at Sideline Green, so it's hard to say if this is much of an improvement...

I use A Day At the Office and have never seen ads.

I would not still be here without the Sideline Green skin, and I'll die on that hill.

Ok, switched to Sideline Green... this'll take some getting used to but at least I can navigate again!

I use vBulletin3 style, but I also use uBlock on Chrome, so I can't tell you if it serves up ads.

Asking for a friend - where does one find the setting to change skins?

Very bottom of the page is a drop down right above the Powered by vbulletin.

I think it also in the User CP link.

I use the correct Yellow skin. With Firefox and Ublock-origin, no ads at all.
