Northwest Fishing Reports

With a small laptop the new bottom banner ads take up 1/3 of the screen and you can't get to the "close" button. The ads at WL.com have never bothered me but now I can't read the site very well.

And is it just me or is the top banner ad wider? It looks like it's blown the whole page off to the right.

My 2 cents.

Agreed!

Its no worse then all the other bs adds I get on the computer. Lets face it though on Mike and Aarons behalf. Ads pay for the site to stay open too. Advertising is a great way to get your products out there. In one of the ads I saw a John Deere ATV. I went to their website to see more. Ads work ...In my opinion Id rather see a few ads on my favorite website then to possibly not have this website.

Like I said racfish, I dont' mind ads, the guys at WL.com need to pay for the site and I sincerely hope they are putting cash in their pocket too. But when the ads affect the readability of a website like these are doing- it's a bug.

I just hit refresh and they stay away until I come back from another site.

The new ad has issues that we are aware of and we are working with the publisher to fix them... hopefully before the weekend.

the little ads in the middle of the comments that when your use'n your roller/wheel? to scroll and it makes it stop on the ad........have made me say bad words a few times.....but no big deal

There are 3 sure things in life.....death, taxes and advertisement. There is no way to get around any of them[rolleyes]

Wow, i just got that bottom add right as i was about to open this.

i dont think its going to stop:-({|=

well for me it only happens when you first open the browser. No doubt there is then a cookie installed on the PC to track the rest of my goings on...conspiracy theorist's unite....power to the people...lmao...still it is really annoying.

yep there's a cookie, just dump my tempory internet files an the first thread i clicked on it popped back up again. don't know if it's a tracking cookie though. my spyware program aint flaggin it.

Here's a thought, a couple other forums I subscribe to offer paid members the choice of no ads since they're supporting the forum/site through donation/s. Maybe this is something WL.com could offer premium members? Probably more work than it's worth, but like I said, just a thought.

irratating ads still going strong!#-o

They slowed down for me but still there.

I like this! The sponsors are getting hit with the same adds.

looking into it...

Well I see the John Deere ad is still alive and well!

Send me an email when it's fixed. Tired of having to log in everytime the ad runs.
