Exclamation Advertisements

Is there a reduction in the flash advertisements with a paid membership? I bought the Supporter level, and wanted to know if I stepped it up to the Premium, if it would get rid of all the advertising.

Not bashing, just a member on other sites where this is the case.

Thank you!

No there's not any decrease in ads for a paid membership. You'll need to get an ad blocker to stop them.

Default Ads on the mobile version

How are the ads on the mobile version of HDFs selected? I noticed while I was on my phone looking at the abandoned bikes thread every page has a Hillary ad. It's very annoying. Other threads were a variety of other adds. I'm not a computer guy, so I'm clueless.

I use the Garage Talk app most of the time. Zero ads.

Usually based on your browsing history. One of your other personalities must be a Liberal. Oh, the horror!

Default stupid ads

I understand that .com websites are there to generate revenue, and that's fine, but I despise sites that allow stupid video commercials to hijack a web page. Everytime I log onto the HD Forums homepage, another VIDEO AD ruins my browsing experience. I have to click on the ad and then close the page that pops up to stop the damn things. THIS is a great reason to leave this website for greener pastures. Admin please, PLEASE, use better judgement in selling ad space.

It's called Adblock. Use it liberally.

I have to wait up to about 30-60 seconds for the ads on the right side to come up before I can even move on HDForums. It didn't used to be like that on my computer, what's up. I have no problems at all on other chat forums.
