SD Forum suggestions and questions

[TerraN_EmpirE]

hope you're playing devil's advocate and don't want to see feces in an upper half of every SDF page

I don’t know this software. But I am sure Webby is doing his best. We have changed hosting here at SDF a number of times now. Trust me been here a now going on what 15 years.
Every time to try and keep the forum members happy and the page user friendly. Sometimes that means more trouble shooting than others.

filling pages with feces is ridiculous (later I got a banner also down a page, as a bonus hahaha) OK I've provided my feedback, is all

I will fix this crap. I thought auto ads from google would make my work easier/save time.

 

[Webmaster]

You should not be seeing AUTO ADS anymore.

As far as any ads go, please don't come on this forum and preach as if it is the first and only website you use with ads.

I don't if this helps but I've noticed the header problem happens more when using the Microsoft Edge browser.

in Firefox 73.0.1 (64-bit), while in Explorer 11.0.170 the same page:

Something is wrong on your end. There are ZERO ads configured on the whole site.

I started and ran a forum of my own for about a month, moderated a Friends forum for a couple months too. both defunct
Both were more blog with a half dozen members who really just grouped together.
Still was an educational experience. One of the things I learned was these set ups are often prebuilt and can be buggy they are especially sensitive to any mis step and it’s often easy to double enter something. They also depend on ads to keep the lights on so to speak. You call it spam. To me it’s what allows me to be here without a pay wall.

Yep, Webby is providing a service here, the ad's keep the forum from being an out of pocket for Webby.... you could say thanks?? LOL

Thanks. Ads are not a priority as user experience is most important to me and I appreciate the feedback. What I don't appreciate is hijacking threads, insinuating that users are being "spammed." It is even more frustrating when I've made is abundantly clear that "auto ads" was a feature which I was testing from google. It is what it says, auto ads - google places the ads automatically where their robots think it is most suitable.

Anyway, after running these forums since 2003, I understand you cannot make everyone happy so we pivot, adjust and move on.

now my Firefox 73.0.1 doesn't show them either, so I thank you without sarcasm
