Hi everyone i love the corvette forum but these Anyad clips are annoying. I have tried to mess with the settings on my iPhone and they still play. Has anyone had any luck removing them?

I've not seen any ads. I use Microsoft edge on my android phone and have this setting enabled. They might have edge for iPhone too.

Complaining about ads on this forum are grounds for bans just so you're aware. I got a month or so ban a while back for complaining about it. Just FYI

Vendor ads are what pays for the Forum..... early on, some of us paid for a subscription but now it's all free....so don't whine!

It has become excessive and an annoyance. I understand they need to make money but when I scroll and the stupid video follows me down that is to much.

I honestly don't think it is that bad. Rather have ads than no forum at all.

In before the lock and this thread gets sent to the graveyard!


To the OP, I know what ad you are referring to, but I believe if you are signed in to the forum you will no longer get that video ad that follows your scrolling. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think that's why some see it and others don't. Try being signed in when you use the forum on your phone.

I see it when I"m logged in on my work laptop. I can't install an ad-blocker on it so I see all ads. On my personal computer I never see ads on any site.

That's true. On my laptop I'm usually signed in and don't see it. Also on my laptop, if I'm not signed in, it's much easier to close it compared to when using my phone. It's a PIA to close the video on the phone screen.

I have noticed this too. Several more ads lately.

And this is not complaining about posts that are ads for vendors. This is complaining about the in-page ads and videos.

The only adds I see are the occasional banner ads, they are few and far between to be of any concern and understand they are needed to keep the lights on so they do not bother me at all...

Yeah. It's gotten out of control. Amazing what people will put up with. "But dat's what keeps the site goin'! You can't complain" I can't?!?! I sure as hell can!
The intrusive, auto-play videos that scroll with the page are garbage. Too bad CF sold out. Sad..
