lew Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Lew was having problems earlier around dinner time...haven't heard back yet if he still has... Thanks Norm, turns out it was my Adblock causing the problems like others have mentioned. I used my wife's tablet this morning and was able to log onto OFC and read this post. Interesting as I installed Adblock a month ago and it's been working great until yesterday when I couldn't open the posts here, yet everything works fine on all the other sites I visit. Disabled Adblock for this page and we're good to go. Edited March 27, 2015 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 If you are running ABP it will interfere with some of the script that we use to open the pages. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTHM Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I found that as of two days ago this site will no longer load if I have my ad blocking extension enabled. A bit of a drag for as I come here for the content not the advertisments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all understand that ads generate revenue, and I have a list of advertisers that are "permitted", however looking at ads for completely irrelevant goods and services takes away from the enjoyment of this site's content.

icefisherman Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Someone please fix this. Had to log in with IE to post this. Site hasn't opened for the past 4-5 days in Chrome....I too have AB but it has worked fine with it in the past so someone must have changed/done something to this site in past week or so. Hope it is corrected as I prefer using Chrome and don't want to disable AB. Cheers, Ice Fisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 problem is you are asking them to help you not see ads that pay for the site, their only means of making money to buy the bandwidth and software upgrades I can't see them jumping on this problem they are most likely cheering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I understand completely the need to generate income to support the site. Most sites have the same problem. What I was told by some members yesterday, is they won't be taking down their adblocker. If they aren't viewing, the site still looses revenue revenue stream.

Terry Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 if someone would rather not come to the site then remove their ad blocker, that is their choice that would be like saying I like the site and use it but I won't support it of course if they have never seen or clicked the ads then leaving changes nothing and no loss of revenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
