Living the dream
It's got far worse in the past few months. I'm not complaining, just stating that there's a huge increase in adverts on my mobile.
For example, here is what I adverts see when looking thru this thread.
Page 1 full first screen advert mid thread:
Second full screen advert mid thread on page 1:
Page 2, smaller foot banner and medium mid thread advert:
Page 2 full screen advert mid thread:
Page 3 advert (only 2 posts on page 3):
So you have to scroll through pages of adverts between the posts. Annoying that I'm being targeted for Santander adverts when I've been with them for about 30 years, back in the Alliance and Leicester days.
It's never been like this before.

Things have definitely got worse for me via my mobile. The video ads seem to have an impact when replying to a thread, for some reason, the page goes to the top so then have to scroll back down the where I was writing my reply
What this one? I’m a patron and still get itI don’t find the adverts too intrusive. I can understand the annoyance however, especially that privacy button on the side of the screen

When logged in you would only get the Sky Sports unit in the sidebar of the home page, ie here: https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/
Most users skip by that page pretty quickly. You won't get it on the Big Board nor on any threads.
Users who aren't logged in get it more, but that's easily remedied by logging in/registering.
Hmm yeah true, its only on that page now when you mention it. Unfortunately I use the primitive way of navigating through pressing "Home" or the banner. But could work around that of course.

Desktop it's fine. Mobile with the full screen ads is not unusable but certainly more of a PITA than it was. But it's nowhere near as bad as the Argus site which I refuse point blank to use now on any platform.

My issue is less the ads and more that typing gets really slow. I’m using Safari on mobile - which is the best to switch to (there’s a number listed above and so would appreciate a consensus/majority view as I’m too lazy to try lots of different ones out)

It's starting to get like the Argus website.

Wonder what the output is, if you live on Boundary road / Station Road /Carlton Terrace, “Hot horny single women in a neighbouring district”

I would have thought an even bigger fee for us Croydon types, to try to discourage us, but if we can still browse for free, then we will be happy
It’s more of a tech issue in Croydon than any prejudice. Very tricky to install in caravans.
Good to know. Have you done the balloon ride over the Okavango Delta yet?
