Why have I started getting a Ladbrokes advert at the top of the screen? Very annoying. I'm signed in.
Anyone else seeing this? Or am I special? Don't answer that.

I’m getting loads of ads for insulated tools, cutters, screwdrivers and bits…..
no sorry. My mistake. It was a thread by @Dustydazzler

Oh that old chestnut! ?
OP

£85 seems like a good deal. 2 hours tops to drive there, and write up the report.
Maybe for a 2 circuit garage board.

I’m not normally one to complain…..
but I’ve got a complaint!
The ads seem to have doubled-up on me now. Near impossible to navigate the forum on iPhone. Will check laptop when I get home.
Mods… have any of you heard if Dan and Lou are ok? Normally @Dan would have said something by now along the lines of “bear with me, I’m dealing with it” but not a peep

Why do you need to access the Forum on your iPhone?
OP
Still a pain for me. Using Android device.
sorry guys this is my bad. I'm considering letting an external firm take over the google advertisements as they have a bigger pool of advertisers than I would have access to as a mere guy with some forums.
During the testing process the other day, I didn't click a few buttons and it enabled ads for all people again. FFS. (I am also seeing lots of ads BTW which usually isn't the case - I see the odd one to know they're active but not all)
After that, I broke the forum just. So priority was getting that fixed. Now I have a few dozen server error logs to get my head around as I think I've just broke auto emails that go out when people reply to a thread you've made. I might not have but I have to check now.
And on top of that @Lou is just hooking back up the "login using your twitter, facebook, google or microsoft account" thing which I removed from all forums a couple of years ago because our forum developers have updated their end of those connections so that if you've signed in using one of those, you don't get any tracking cookies following you around on the forum that facebook or google etc might be trying to use.
Selling data like they used to appears to be a thing of the past now Zuckerberg got told off in EU/UK courts a while back.
Note that I'm working on all the above and apart from eating and sleeping, I plan to only keep working on it all. Ads will be fairly low priority until I've managed to get auto emails working and bounce emails bouncing to the right place etc.
Use this thread to keep up to date now it's here.
