It's Getting Worse

[Canary42]

Answerbank is now plonking ads in the middle of people's responses.

I am afraid you're gonna have to cough up some dosh to make it stop.

[bednobs]

i dont understand. i dont get any ads and i thought others dint anymore either?

[Canary42]

OK, it must be my browser then.

[JimF]

Thankfully the nagware for donations also seems to have stopped.

[Buenchico]

Try clearing your browser's cache, Canary42

The donation pop-up has returned.
I had a few days pop-up free, but it is back!
I've cleared cache etc to no avail.

[bookbinder]

This raises the question: does anyone care if the AnswerBank disappears?

[Bobbisox1]

No, not particularly BB

[bednobs]

i think i would

Ads are unable to show on the website when AB User's are logged in. If you are not logged in then yes, Ads would show.

[JimF]

The nagging "donation" popup is now back with a vengeance. I make it every 90 seconds...

Re. the pop-up. This has been investigated and a response as been posted here: https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/AB-Editors-Blog/Question1846570.html

[Pete65]

I am logged in and the donation pop-up is appearing on every page I visit.

[AB Editor]

Pete - The Donation pop-up is not the same as an Advert. The Adverts are served only to users who are not logged in. The pop-up should only display once in a given week and the mechanism behind this is data stored in a Cookie. Please follow the link above for more info.

[JimF]

I'm also logged in, otherwise I wouldn't be able to post! Not using any sort of blocker. Google Chrome on Windows 11.

[Canary42]

I clear my cache on a daily basis. I also do the same with my Cookies as I regard them as an unwanted spy in my midst.

I do not believe the ubiquitous bullsht about "we use cookies to give you a better experience yada yada yada".

This example just shows how we are being bullied to accept them.

Back off Ab or I will flounce for good next time.

[Zacs-Master]

Please keep em, Ed.

[AB Editor]

Canary, if you are deleting the Cookies used by the Pop-up functionality daily then the Pop-ups would continue, unfortunately. It has been this way for many months now.

[Pete65]

Ed, I have went into settings on my Lenovo Chromebook and "allowed all cookies".
So far, there no donation pop-ups.
Thank you for the advice!
