Sudden appearance of ads on OCUK site ??? **UPDATE: There will be no adverts**

[Deleted member 651465]

It’s just a test, don’t panic

Originally planned for only the moderating team areas but looks like they’re trialling it forum-wide.

Ads on the forum, really sad day

Is this what’s screwing my iPad layout up?

Why are they even testing ads on the site?

 

[meh?]

It’s off putting seeing these ads especially on mobile.

 

[Haggisman]

Oh snap mine are back as well, at least on mobile.

If this is the way that OCUK is going to handle the forums going forwards then I'd like to know so I can stop frequenting them.

Careful now, you'll get told off for overreacting!

I’m not in a position to answer that, unfortunately.

All feedback is welcome, so let’s see what comes of it.

Feedback - It sucks and will reduce use of forum and impact my view on the OC Brand

On the plus side, it looks like PiHole is quite easy to install on Windows, so off we go to do that

They're cookie based....awkward...

!

Having to throw the white flag in more and more on some sites now with my ad blockers, as long as I can continue to watch YouTube on my PC and phone without ads - will be happy enough.

Indeed.

Plus side....can just use ad blockers but still.

I'm getting hard wood floor vacuum ads. That's what I get when disabling targeted ads :/

More like your targeted ads picked up the "hard wood" part

LOL. I would have expected "Natural Organic Pears(pairs)" if that was the case

It's happening again @Armageus - exactly the same add.

I need to turn on targeted adds, at least i would have something interesting to look at (it nicely dodges uBlock with Chrome)

My feedback is that I already give Overclockers enough of my money without them ruining my forum experience to nick a few quid off ads.

What with the gouging, the lack of communication, and now crappy annoying ads, WTF is OCUK becoming?

Scales fine on my desktop and mobile TBH - can't say personally I'm bothered either way.

Gone on my iPhone thank @@@@

 

[randal]

Ugh. Don't OcUK make enough money already?

Same here. Looks like they’ve removed them... for now.
