I used to frequent both this site and the other FE forum (FordFE.com)
Does anyone know what happened with the quality of the other site fordfe.com ? did they sell out to advertisers?
When I go there its hard to do anything because of constant pop ups , ads on the left of the screen, ads on the right of the screen , ads on the bottom , click here for this click there for that etc
Every time I go there I leave within 1 min because of all the ads,
It only happens on that site no other sites or forums , its horrible.
Is this happening to anyone else ?
-

I stopped going when the "tapatalk" nonsense began.
Not sure what web browser you use, but I use Mozilla Firefox, which has some nice add-ons available. I use a script blocker add-on called NoScript, which allows me to block ads (and trackers, google's bs, etc.). It can be tricky figuring out what must be allowed to run in order for the website to work properly, but once you figure it out it is a great tool. I NEVER see ads or pop-ups unless they are attached to something I allowed in order for a website to work.
If you're not familiar with script blockers and why they are useful, you should see the number of different websites that have "something" running on a single webpage. Some news sites or E-commerce sites have 20-30 or more different sites/scripts/programs running on one webpage. Everything from annoying pop-ups and ads to trackers and data miners that have no business running on your system (can slow things way down as well).
I'm guessing a script blocker may solve the problems you're having with that website.

If you login you don't get the ads, at least on my phone I don't
-
Agreed..If i log in on my computer I get no ads...
-
All you have to do is log in. If you don't sign in you can only read and get hammered with ads
-
If you log in the ads go away. Actually pretty good these days. Network 54 wet away so it was either move or die. Tapatalk isnt perfect but they have a good tech group. We went ad free sometime back if logged in. This is a great forum also, thanks Jay for the effort.
