Hi

a quick question to our hard working moderators please.

Do you have any control over the adverts that appear on the site ?

some are pure scams and very mis-leading

Many thanks

Steve

And the sheer amount is quite ridiculous when viewing on a mobile phone, sometimes 8 or 9 per page, squeezed in between the writing mid post on each post of the thread.

I'd rather pay a small subscription because they really spoil the user experience.

Let me take a look, I use Google and it does it automatically.

When trying to access the forum last night I kept getting taken to the phpBB installation page, is this because the website was being updated?
