"Please Support The Answerbank" Flyer

[Khandro]

As of today, I'm getting this message superimposed on every page, not even on each topic, - every page!
It has to be deleted before I can read the page.

Is this only happening to me please, or is this a new policy?

//We're looking into this again. The pop-up shouldn't appear now because we have paused it.//

Sorry but It didn't work for me, it's still appearing on every page. :0(

[Pete65]

I am still getting this pop-up, too.

Keep begging for funds Answerbank owners.
I doubt it will work.

[lankeela]

After a few days without the pop up its back again with a vengeance - every 20 or 30 seconds now.

[Bobbisox1]

Same here Lankeela , bloody fed up with it!

[Khandro]

Me too !

Ed, I'm using an adblocker (adblock plus) in Windows 10.

I've used an adblocker for years without having this problem - just the occasional request for donations - this is now on every page.

I don't know what AB is like now without a blocker, but I turned to using it because the site was plastered with animated adverts.

[AB Editor]

Khandro: We do not recommend using Ad Blockers on AB. Since the changes were introduced quite some time ago to remove Ads for users who are signed in, there should be no need to use an Ad Blocker when browsing The AnswerBank as signed-in users will not see ads. The pop-up should only appear once per week on average but this relies on a Cookie stored in your browser. Without this Cookie it will treat every page visit as a 'new' visit.

[Khandro]

I've looked for the source, could this be it?

[Khandro]

I shall remove it for AB & get back to you

[AB Editor]

Thanks. Yes, the third party is called POWR.

[Khandro]

I removed it on this site & it's still there I'm afraid. :0(

[AB Editor]

Khandro, are you using any other Cookie blocker or using an Incognito tab? And to confirm, what you're seeing - is it the Donation Pop-up? Is it appearing on every page load, or just the first time you visit the site?

[Khandro]

Ed, It is it the Donation Pop-up & it is appearing on every page load.

Though having said that it has uniquely yet to appear on this page! is someone listening? :0)

I discovered something which made life a bit easier. What happens is that the whole page greys-out & the pop-up is white, central, about one third size - as I'm using a PC with a mouse, I need not click on the X in the pop-up to remove it, I can click anywhere on the grey area & it vanishes, until the next page.

says the person who doesnt even know how to place URLs on here...

I have never seen any pop ups or ads on here, using various Macs, PCs and Op/sys
