Is this legit or a scam? I try to avoid clicking on pop ups just in case but would appreciate knowing if this is genuine or not, only started a couple of days ago. Cheers!
-
I turned that on yesterday.
It should only show it once every 7 days.
It's something like 6 seconds of advert.
Guest usage has gone crazy on here over the last couple of months - probably being scrapped by AI - so I thought why not intercept a bit of that.
-
Okay thanks, makes sense.
-
It makes me do it every day, it's quite annoying plus I'm a bit dubious about clicking unknown links.
-
Every day here too. And there are some odd ads that make me think I should not be clicking on them.
Is there not a way guests get it pop up, but registered members don't?
-
Annoying, I had to do it 4 times before it disappeared.
-
It's definitely set to only show once per 7 days. Unfortunately the '24 hours access' message isn't linked.
Yes it's crap but no-one, I mean, no-one clicks on the banner adverts on the site.
Lets see how it goes for a bit.

Mine worked fine for 7 days. A minor irritant for what we get back.

My comment sounds worse than the intent, in fairness, clicking a button a few times is hardly a life changing exercise.

A bit torturous today, I don’t want a golf holiday package, buy a Honda, buy an electric bike or sell a static caravan🤷
-
I don't have the volume up and just ignore it until the 'close' pops up. Given what you've said though, I think I've missed out!
-
£120k and my static caravan is yours.

If I had a spare £120k, it would be a 'no thanks'. But thanks :whistle:

If you buy a Golf package holiday, I’ll throw in an electric bike for free.

I must be doing something wrong with these damned adverts. I click on the things, wait and then try and get into the site and the bloody things just keep popping up😡
TBH, I’d rather not leave the site, but it’s becoming frustratingly unusable - no one else seems to complain, possibly my fault but anything I’m doing wrong?
-
Do you click on 'close' top right corner when it pops up? I found that if I didn't, the ad would come back up again. Also don't click on the ad to open it up, it'll just come back. When successful, you get a thank you for supporting the site message. Hope that helps.
-
Thanks, I’ll give your advice a go
-
That worked! Many Thanks👍

Probably because nobody can get on the site to complain! 😁
It’s a faff.
I don’t know if it’s an iPhone thing or an old age thing but boy do I have a fight on my hands trying to get on here.
-
Well I'm an old git and have managed it so it must be your phone. Probably. :wink: :whistle:

I’m also an (impatient) old git with an iPhone - I couldn’t even see the little box in the top right to close ads before you told me it was there😳😂

Me too until I just now noticed it. It's drove me crazy for ages now on my phone. Didn't have to click top right on my tablet it just finished and disappeared. I thought it was a phone issue 🤓🥸
