Ads with videos/GIFs playing


Barbaraok

Recommended Posts

While I understand the need for ads in order to help pay for the cost of the forum, the constant flickering of a video/GIF ad really irritates me because repetitive flickering can increase my chances at having a migraine.   I don't care what it is for, I do know that I would not buy from/use that service because of their ad!    For others, they can be actual triggers for seizures.   I'm not saying that will happen, but they are annoying, to say the least.

Using a simple plug-in like Ad Blocker Plus will take care of the ads.

Have that installed, doesn't help.  Works for videos but not for GIFs on a loop.

What ads ? 

The only ad I see is the tiny Guided RV vacation ad just below the page header . 

Maybe you should try Vivaldi browser . Download and use Disconnect . ;) 

I am using a Mac, not available in Apps so.  

Ad from Escapees (Want TO See Your Ad Here?)

Ad from RV Air

Ad from DFW RV ROOF

All run down the side when browser is open on computer at about 80% width of screen.

Barb,

I use Adblocker plus as well and see the still frame ad at the top center for guided whatever. I do not see any ads down the right side with my browser, Firefox open full screen, only two blocks of topics. I have Edge but don't like it as much from just habit. Try Edge for Macs, maybe that will help? You did not say what browser you are using. Try Edge for Macs and BRave for Macs. See if the browser with AdBlocker+.
