Why are Jeff's " my lastest videos" popping up at the bottom of all of the forum page? They are a P.I.T.A and very distracting!!!

[forktender]

They are even popping up in private messages, it's distracting and not necessary whatsoever.

Dan, I was wondering the same thing yesterday then saw that Jeff had posted this. It explains what it currently going on:

Ad Layout Work

We are messing with the ad layout today and you may see some weird stuff happening.. please be patient and we will get this all worked out. This is especially for those of you who pay to NOT see any ads. I appreciate your patience and it should be all good shortly.

The video is showing up between replies for me and then when I scroll further down, it shows up at the bottom next to the reply area........ ARGH!

 

[TulsaJeff]

I apologize that this is taking longer than we had hoped.

They are working on this now and should have it fixed shortly.

Once this is corrected, premier members will not see any ads or videos.

thank you guys for your patience!

I also wonder why I can’t get on here unless I disable my ad blocker?

It seems that with the advent of the internet, society has lost all sense of patience.

Thanks Jeff for the best Forum on the internet!

What BandCollector said.

Simple add-ons like Adblock and Ghostery eliminate these type of intrusions regardless.

The video's are gone! Thanks Jeff

Woo hoo!!

Jeff.... Great background music in your ads...... The peach dump cake looked delicious.....

How about you put your recipes, in thread form, on the forum some where..... and KEEP the music.....

A new section titled.... Tulsa Jeff's Recipes, would fit nicely....

Al, took me 24 hours to figure out I had to allow ads for this site.... Everything worked but SMF would not show up...
I'm feeling better now...

Yep, same exact thing with me Dave.
Kinda of a PITA!
I have to remember to disable my ad blocker before I try to get on here, then remember to enable it when I get off.
Otherwise all I get after I sign on is a white screen.

Guys, thanks for mentioning this. I was in the same boat, I got a white screen when using Chrome and ad blocker on. I switched browsers and SMF would load, and it would load on my phone. So back to Chrome and I disabled SMF and now the site loads.

In the settings of AdBlock I can disable individual sites. So let's say I have 15 tabs showing in my browser window, I can disable one or two without disabling all of them.

Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with ad blockers.. I always browse with ads on especially on my sites as I like to stay "in the know" on what ads are showing to the visitors.

Dave, I've posted a few on the site but I'll keep that in mind for the future. Glad you like the music!

I would guess that with the recent changes that hides ads for Premier Members, your IT people added some anti ad-block script or code which detects when a visitor is using an ad blocker. And other code to allow access for Premier Members. In the case of Dave, Al and myself..... we are all Premier Members but use ad block software and access was denied, so we only saw a white screen. Maybe watch your number of site visits and see if they drop off in the next week or so because non-frequent or new visitors seeing a white screen will usually be inclined to move on instead of investigating why a site won't load.
