Default What's With This?

Is the site selling Ikea furniture or something now? There aren't even links for the forum on the home page anymore. The arrow only shows the instagram feed.

Sorry. I thought about it. I should have said it wasn't working properly. One of the sections or feeds on the front page, I forget which, hasn't worked right in a while.

Not too long ago the only ad I saw was the vendor bar up top. Now there are 2 spam bars on every main page. There is that stupid huge collage of crap on the bottom of every page too. Fanfawkingtastic.

I reckon that's how they keep the site going, allowing advertising on the main pages and where ever else they need to. I don't know how much of the subscription money covers keeping the site running...

I'm on another forum that cancels out the adds for members as soon as you sign in, but they are there if your just browsing, and don't sign in, its F***ing great to not need an add blocker.

I think it also resizes the pic so the typing isn't so small when a pic is oversized.

Oh you mean like this place used to be not so long ago? Now even paid members have to see the spam.

I don't see any ads on mobile, because I use Tapatalk. My personal PCs just have a direct link to chit chat on the bookmarks bar. But the work lappy doesn't. And, I'll be damned, looks like the site is getting a refresh.

What you mean by what? I was logged in both times if that's what you're referring to. And I refreshed multiple times earlier and got the same dead home page.

Um, on Monday, or Tuesday I got the pic you just posted when I checked out the home page, the one with the plant in the ceramic circle I never seen before you posted it.

Sorry hpiguy, I'm trying to respond to you, and white-trash, while visiting the site you mod, all at the same time.
