Popular Post peterpeter Posted June 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2020 Good Morning All, For a few months now I have been getting Space Videos popping up on every screen I open Just start to read an interesting article and boom there it is again. This is on every article I open and is Dammed annoying. also the pages have green circles rotating as if something is trying to load but never does so distracting. And one last thing if I may how do I remove the contents column from the right of the page If you trying to read on small screen this takes up to much room. I have contacted Thaivisa twice but they do not seem to be able to do anything about it Are we all getting this or it just Peter Thank you I hope everyone has stayed safe during these troubling times I know my little problems are pathetic in comparison Good Luck Everyone Peter 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbastheycome Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 You are probably running some form of ad blocker/s similar to myself. Beyond a certain level I have found that running such eliminates the majority of tedious irrelevant advertorials although extends pages with large gaps in page commentary content. The green circles represent the intended sponsored/paid garbage that is disallowed by the blockers. Increasing the level of blockage to eliminate those and the seemingly innoccuos videos results in ( in my experience) inability to login to the forum site or to access full access other functions. I am left without any idea about the commercial strategies the site owners follow but I genuinely doubt it is actually of advantage to viewers at this point in time. Despite that I can also understand that prepaid contractual obligations may be a pertinent factor. However advertorials that promote committing to the purchase of a 49% share of a partial property that offshore interests have no informed idea as to when they might be permitted entry to Thailand to even inspect let alone divest on seems a bit desperate. So having discovered a dubious balance on participation of the forum between total rejection of and compromise I am so far willing to continue. But when I am presented with items such as declaring "tourist numbers for the month of May were down " I have to contemplate sanity in login. Perhaps there is some relevance in " Space" distractions after all ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpeter Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Thank you Dumbastheycom for your answer no blocker these things just appeared a few months back do not even appear to be advertising anything they are just there blooming nuisance Like the topices column that has popped up on the right of the page making every page smaller normally in many programs you can close or hide columns if not required I dont seem to be able to do anything with the topics column one day it just was there and thats it. Do you have these things on your pages Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe whatever browser or settings you use are responsible but the green circling icons (I assume) in large blank areas of the page between comments. These are where with no blocking many more advertorial items would be present. The "Topics" column has always been there AFAIK. Oh ! I am using a desktop version of the site. Text entry on a mobile drives me crazy ! On a mobile app maybe/has been different for the Topics column? But for the green circles.....Be grateful....the alternative is less desirable for the user. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpeter Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Thank you Dumbastheycom I use Firefox always have I just never took to Edge or Chrome. Yes you assume correctly circles in blank spaces So I just had a go at Edge. Blooming Heck adverts everywhere flashing and popping up all over the place How do they expect anyone to read the pages with this lot going on sorry but that is Ridiculous I never had any adverts until a few months back Goodness knows how people are putting up with this it would certainly make my time on Thaivisa miserable. Funny about the topics column. I would have bet I used to get a full page no column. Now I would not, memory can be a right little deceiver all the best Dumbastheycom Peter.
