Popular Post holy cow cm Posted February 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2020 As of today I am soooo tired of the bombardment of being hit left right and center by the TV adverts messing with my space. I am sooo sick and <deleted> tired of it already that if it doesn't stop I will retreat from this nasty harassment. Anyone else feel or have the same? Such BS! Fyi. This is owned by the Nation and the Nation is already well known by all Thai that the Nation supports the Junta and this government. Well at least from what my kids and other Thai people tell me. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Without wishing to offend or upset anyone, but if you are not prepared or unable to close the door, there is little point in complaining the door is open. I cant put in any plainer than that for you, sorry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Sorry Charlie. Not meaning tuna and Sunkist. But as I am computer literate I should not have to be subjected to jump through these hoops. I understand a few adverts, but not bombarded. In any case, I am oblivious to adverts as actually never reading them, so I believe it should be for TV to have an easy opt out button and not the other way round. Meaning please do not disturb my space and make me revert to having to do unnecessary things that most all of us do not wish to do. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont be going anywhere soon thats for sure. There are many publications that if you wish to use them ask you to turn off any provision made in order to use the website. If you dont, you dont access it at all, so its finding a happy medium, you may not like or agree, but frankly,it is what it is. At least here you have a choice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site used to subsist on very little and that was acceptable and very beautiful for what this site used to be. But like most companies or corporations they never know when enough is enough. As you said, I and all TV members have no choice but to cave in or leave, but in all sincerity it is like saying, If you don't like the way I stink, then go away. And again no disrespect at all meant as ofcourse, maybe this is how you make your buck? Not sure that is why I left it with a ?

neeray Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Some sites offer the option of paid service which is ad-free; they receive their requisite revenue one way or the other. I would gladly pay for ad-free participation on TVF. Note: It would save me from deleting the ad in the lower right hand corner of my desktop that pops up on every new page and blocks my readable content. I do this dozens of times in each viewing session. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I log on with Firefox and played with the relevant settings. I see no ads of any kind. I didn't do this lightly as I understand that this is a subscription free site and relies on ads to keep it afloat. However, there are limits, The "VDO" ad which randomly appears in the bottom RH corner made the site difficult to navigate. I and others pleaded for weeks for something to be done which it wasn't (sounds like nothing has still been done) so I had no choice really. Edit: Despite numerous pleas again, I'm still getting the flickering screen and pages never fully loading.
