Sorry for the numpty query but...

[bobbin]

Can anyone tell me how to stop the flashing adverts at the side of the page when reading this forum? It's making me feel headachy and queasy as its constant. (Sorry I know ads are a requirement)

[bramble]

Have you tried doenloading adblock Bobbin. That should do the trick.

[BUFFS]

what gets me is the red one across the bottom that stops you using that area before you have to delete it, you know which one that is..

[SusieG]

bobbin, are you using iPad? I am and it drives me barmy too! It does help things if you hold it in the upright position (is that portrait???) with the 'button' at the bottom ...
(Can you tell that I'm not very techy ...?)

[bobbin]

Ooh er. How do I do that? Pleeeeese tell it's driving me crazy, on off on off!

Also if you press Ctrl and + button you can enlarge your screen so it cuts the sides off.

If you have a wide screen you might feel very strange with how large the text goes. If that is the case you can hover the mouse over the rh edge til you get a double arrow and press the lh mouse button and move the screen in

[bobbin]

Ooh yes Susie G! that works a treat! You're a techy phenomenon!!Yes on an iPad.
The " How do I do that" referred to the ad blocking suggestion earlier. Didn't realise this drove other folk nuts too!
Isn't it a problem for readers with visually triggered problems...like on telly when they say contains flash photography...maybe people with migraines. Do the ads really need to flash constantly?

It's been an ongoing saga bobbin:

I'm on an iPad Norfolkgrey, so none of them there fancy buttons what you got with yer fangled computer.No sign of a mouse here either. Keep it simple I'm a Geordie.
It's funny though what should be getting our attention in the form of useful ads is having completely the opposite effect! Someone needs to look into their marketing strategy.

Sorry I forget other peeps actually keep up with technology The ads are a long moaned about thing on this forum - they are pretty much the main downside to the vine

Never a truer word has been said.

I've moved this to the General chitchat Board where other threads about the adverts an be found.
Many of us use an Adblocker. Couldn't Mod without it

Also, as someone wiser than me on the Vine shared with us the other week, scroll down to the bottom of this page. Where you see a box with 'GYOV4' click on that and change to 'GYOV4-dev2' Works a treat!
