Could you elaborate?
Half of my screen is taken up either by an advert or a big light blue box where an ad loads into.
I only use this board on a phone, not a desktop, and it’s basically unusable at the moment for me.
On my phone I just scroll up? Having said that so far I’ve bought, a cooker, a fridge freezer, a car three coats, six pair of underpants and some batteries for the other arf

If you sign up to Boarding Plus you can avoid them with the added bonuses of access to Admin’s War Room and lenient treatment from the Mods.
Decent value imo
When I signed up for Boardin'+ I was delighted to receive a 40% discount code to be redeemed against a 5 year subscription. The rates were already reasonable and this makes the whole restricted ad content and totally configurable personalisation it offers an absolute bargain.
No doubt this will wind the lefties up with their "all content is theft" mantra but it is high time we joined the ad gravy train. Remember that the Club can only afford to pay the Mods a limited amount of money. They're not saying it publicly but they are being moved to performance related contracts next year and their bonuses are linked to future ad revenues.
Interestingly the first ad today is for a bunch of tools.

I’ve heard the mods will do it if you bung them a pony.

I cant see any adverts, but that is because a while ago, i changed my DNS server on my Android phone. Anyone can do it, it takes about 2 or 3 minutes.
Plenty of good tutorial videos on You Tube on how to do it. I dont see any ads on any site on my phone anymore

Is it fair that you dont contribute to the costs of this fine website?

It's the boardin' equivalent of tax avoidance. Legal, but morally dubious.

How do you share images on this site?
By the way I’m not against having ads (if they help with the costs of running this board then I understand the requirement for them) it’s just the way they are currently being shown on my device is making the site ugly and awkward.
