Mobile version of this site

Hey,

I had a bit of a strange moment at the weekend in the l322, it turned out not to be a thing (read; human error), but beyond a quick google, my place to go was here via safari on my phone.

First, I know this is a free service, so no complaints about the adds as such, but the way they are implemented on the mobile site meant it was basically unusable. To add to this, and perhaps the reason I noticed the copious number of adverts, the data connectivity at that location was atrocious, so waiting for whole page adverts to pull down and then not seeing any obvious way to get to the actual answer, it was killing me.

In short; I would like to suggest the way adverts are delivered on mobile version of site is reviewed and perhaps massaged into a less aggressive experience.

Thanks,

Dave.

Just pay your subs and be done with the adverts

Or get an ad blocker. And get rid of crapple.

This is not new sadly. Over the years the ads have taken over most of the page, including being inserted into members' posts. We have asked and asked and asked for this to be remedied. The owners decided to ignore us for years. Then one day out of the blue a 'pay us and you'll see less adverts' button appeared. Personally, I would have paid to suport the site before they overloaded it with adverts.
What you will find, with this site is that the owners don't listen to requests, nor discuss improvements/suggestions, despite having this page.
