EVE#RY OTHER PAGE AND FORUM. everyone, no problem affording it, so either you are getting RIPPED OFF, or you are being greedy. but i dont need to see a popup every page to tell me turn adblock off. so go ahead instead of just repeating your indoctrination of , its for the people ads keep it free. tell me, every other site and forums dont need popups and run just fine.
take down the popup. thats all that needs to happen. you just take down that little popup and be normal like every other forum.

Nerva, I have tested this out. I can tell you that there are no popups on the site. The only popup you will receive is if you have adblocker installed and is blocking ads here. There are no ad popups on this site. Mods please correct me if I'm wrong, but not a single site here that I have tested had a popup. Only the top and bottom ads are present, but they are static images.

If you are receiving popups on this site, you may have adware on your machine causing the popups. In which case I would highly recommend running MalwareBytes Anti Malware on your machine. Also a quick virus scan might not be a bad idea. Let me know if you need any help with that.

** I have over 12 years of technical background, so I'm not just randomly shooting stuff out at you**

Nerva... the reason "other" forums do not need advertisements is because they CHARGE THEIR VENDORS TO PARTICIPATE. Vaping Underground was specifically designed so that vendors could participate for free.

Also... I have AdBlocker on my system... I have disabled it for this site and I have NEVER ONCE gotten a popup.

Did you ever think maybe you've picked up some malware?... Why don't you run Malwarebytes on your system and see what it comes up with.

Was just thinking the same thing!

Come on Smokie, the guy was just voicing his opinion on the ads. Don't fuel the fire with a picture like that. You have to realize that it is true, most sites do have a one time adblock request. This site does take it one step farther with the constant popup if adblock is enabled. Granted the ads are really unintrusive, but it is the mindset of a lot of people on the internet now a days to use adblock. So just ease them into turning it back on! You get a lot more done with honey than spoiled milk. You're an italian from Jersey, so I know you're parents tossed that line at you once or twice!

Just allow the ads here via adblock+ and issue is resolved.

yes but his issue is the popup telling him he is blocking ads. Stop blocking ads problem solved. what exactly is your issue with the ads here. you said in the other thread that ads were fine yet you still want to block them

While I rather like this place and the direction it seems to be headed to.............

That damn pop up is really getting on my nerves.

I have run Malwarebytes and MW Chameleon and it is still here.

I have adblock for a reason. I am a mature male and for whatever reason I am not interested in getting ads for dildos and pasties popping up when I want to look at the latest and greatest of vaping hardware.

None of which vibrates except for a few of the most creative motion activated APVs.

Which I can also do without.

And being a tech challenged person, and I use Google Chrome, I don't know how to disable the blocking for this site.

And if I do so, will the adds be as annoying as what is going on now?

There just has to be some middle ground where the forum gets some funding without the added bonus of a PITA for the members.

Its pretty simple actually just go to your ad blocker on top right of chrome click it then click where it says enable on this site and it will disable it,They are only ads for vape related items and they are only at the top of the page.

I don't use adblocker personally. I won't denounce people that do, but I'd rather them not use it.

I never did anything mean to those that did on my websites, but I did use a script that would detect if adblocker was used and replaced the ad with a message, the same size as the ad, that asked them to consider turning it off for my websites.

Now that I don't own any of those websites and my new site is so small and I don't give a fuck about making any coin, I don't use it anymore, but it's fairly simple to set up.

The ads aren't even intrusive on this forum, hell the ad block pop-up is more annoying then the actual ads! So just make an exception for vapingunderground and actually support the site.

Just like you have "internet privacy rights" the owners of this forum have content publisher rights, meaning that they have the right to advertise this page however the hell they want, including asking you to white-list on ad blocker so this site generates revenue.

OMG so much hate just because of having to block Adblocker on this site AND this site alone. Too bad to because you are probably missing some ads (very small ads well placed at the top of the page and to the side, a portion of the page that was not being used any ways.) to companies you may have never heard of and because of sheer stubbornness you never will either.

And just an FYI, if you were getting dildo ads from other sites, those ads are more then likely based on your web browsers history, not ad space directly sold from that site. LOL
