Blue then Orange (now White) Side Bars

[Bill HH]

I must be fortunate I can just ignore the ad's unless I see something I want to look at.

And we must not forget we get to use this wonderful site for freeeee due to the ad's and GYO generosity.

Thats a very valid point but its a matter of degree and I feel the advertisers are at the point of overkill.
Not so much this forum as browser etc, AOL for instance is almost impossible to use. Also you tube where you have to watch an advert every time you click a link, its annoying and from the advertisers point of view could be counter productive. I often say to myself "I wont buy that EVER"

[Potstubsdustbins]

True Bill very true. But there must be some who are effected by the ad's and buy the product otherwise they wouldn't be there. Sad really.

If you are using AdBlock Plus (totally different company than AdBlock, not sure why they chose the similar name) there is a click box to turn off their 'non-intrusive advertising' under options. Other software may not give you this option.

I'm new to this malarky too, I'm just hoping I can still catch up on Broadchurch as the player had a complete meltdown with OH's adblocker software, even when he switched it off 1TV refused to let him watch owt.

Not sure what to suggest, I have white and blue bits where the ads used to be, far less annoying than the flashing ads, and less embarrassing in terms of some of the content! I suppose the gaps are how the site was designed to accommodate them :/

Another thing you may notice if you have a laptop or are able to tilt the screen. The 2nd & 4th Columns plus any sticky thread is highlighted in dark grey...............strange goings on in the background......

Yeah mine do that too, I thought that was normal tho as it's done that for me since I joined. I like the differentiation tho.

I have adblock and the blue side bars I installed it because of the flashing ads.I have a facial twitch due to a stroke so with that and the flashing I could not read a thing I have the screen size on 150 so dont see the blue bars.Now I can read in peace Ha .

I thought that was normal - I don't remember it being any different for me.

[Bigmallly]

Maybe it is Sparrow but I only noticed when I tilted the screen.

For me, stickys are completely grey, all the others are white on the title line and grey on the poster's line all the way across. Barely noticeable unless I change the angle I look at the screen. I've never noticed it any different

[lottie dolly]

since switching of to go out,and putting the putor back on,the silly ads have all gone,but i still get them on other web sites,am trying to look for something,and it chews me patiens up,as the top 1/4 of my screen is lost to the stupid adds,

[cariann88]

I thought id done something to the computer with it being blue.

[veggiechicken]

Now I also have a darker blue bar across the bottom of the screen. Don't like that! Nice colour but too big a contrast with the delicate blue sidebars.
My vine screen is getting smaller by the day!
