Pain in the arse
Ad Blocker
This site is dead slow on my computer. Seems a bit faster on my iPhone though
I've got an adblocker, but I've noticed some sites have cotttoned on to this and some message pops up along the lines of "we. Price you've got an ad blocker but we need the advertising revenue" and refuse to load properly until you switch it off
I found adblocker was really slowing things up. I found a better blocker though - Ublock Origin - I am using Firefox but gather it runs on most browsers. Just google your browser and Ublock Origin - here is the add-in for Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/fir...ublock-origin/
You will find things speed up a lot. Make sure you freeze or uninstall adblocker though.
Cheers Maccy, just installed it and disabled adblock, wow it really is superfast now
No probs Igovernor. If you are on an android device (I think apple works too) then download adguard - https://adguard.com/en/welcome.html - don't go through playstore/applestore - download it from the adguard website. It works a treat even if you don't subscribe. If you do like it and want to go pro then do the cheap licence trick - https://forum.raymond.cc/threads/adg...e-trick.40542/ - I messed about with it and got 5 licences for about £5. Here is a vid of it working on the mobile site - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sawjKyId9d4

NO ADS here and super-fast after taking instructions for Ad Block from Mrs Steve R.
She's the dogs undercarriage, without doubt
Exactly.
But unfortunately, things have gone too far!
Without an adblocker many sites are difficult or slow to to use, many are all but impossible to use without one (cough!).
If I go online and trawl about without an ad-blocker now, it feels like being an Iguana surrounded by Racer Snakes
People don't want to pay to view or use web services any more, but equally the whole revenue model is fecked.
Something has got to change IMO!
On a slightly related note FootyMad have suggested to me before that an ad free subscription CCMB could be an option.
I don't think you should have to pay anything and I think ads are ridiculous (no problem that ads are needed but not this intrusive) but would anyone actually pay to use the site?
I think you'd be flogging a dead horse there Mike. Can't see many if any paying just to view a web site, can you?
