Re: Things that annoy you!
I get so annoyed that people don't listen to what Donald Trump is saying. I mean to say he is the most beautiful and powerful man in the whole wide world with unlimited access to classified information, and as he has so often said he is a genius at business and politics. He is the master of the deal, and he would never lead us astray... So when he puts forward the idea that Covid could be cured by injecting bleach intravenously, I get so annoyed that he receives so much criticism from the scientific community for his brilliant ideas.

Re: Things that annoy you!
A very frustrating problem from you Sara.Anonymous wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 9:39 am I've just tried using Firefox and that was worse - the Bet365 ad appeared all over the login screen, and wasn't blocked at all. At least with the new tabs opening I don't have to see the damned thing and can delete it.
I really wish this site wouldn't use such an intrusive ad. I hate the way the internet is dominated by advertising and tracking, and do everything I can to avoid it. I use blockers, a VPN, DuckDuckGo, encrypted email and messaging, and don't use Facebook, Twitter or Google.
If this site needs revenue, I would rather pay a subscription for an ad free version than waste my time and effort f**king about so I don't have to have a betting company forced in my face multiple times a day. It really boils my piss, as the saying goes.
Does nobody else have this problem?

Re: Things that annoy you!
I'm sometimes logged out, (when I want to post something) even though I ask it to remember me, then I get the bet365 add when logging back in, although it doesn't happen that often, maybe once/twice a day?Anonymous wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 9:39 am I've just tried using Firefox and that was worse - the Bet365 ad appeared all over the login screen, and wasn't blocked at all.

Mr Swan wondered about cookies because the login is a cookie ( he says)
How about sending Adam ( Yorkshire Square), who is site admin a PM. He might be able to help....

Re: Things that annoy you!
I access the site on iPhone or iPad using google and when I open MOT for the first time each day I get Bet 365 open in another window and doesn’t interfere with my browsing.Anonymous wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 9:39 am I've just tried using Firefox and that was worse - the Bet365 ad appeared all over the login screen, and wasn't blocked at all.

Re: Things that annoy you!
Once it’s opened in another window I close it and that’s it no more till the next dayAnonymous wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 10:08 am So, it does the same for you, but you are not bothered by it? At least I know it's not just my phone then.
It's not just the first time each day for me though, it's everytime I go away and come back again. Even if I haven't been logged out, the ad still opens another tab.

Re: Things that annoy you!
I get the 365 ad on my tablet and frequent re-log ins...fortunately on my lap top I run Ad block and that takes care of everything intrusive..For some reason Ad Block does not work well as an app for me

Re: Things that annoy you!
Sara, Mr Swan has just been looking at different browsers with MOT. He suggests giving Opera touch a go. But it seems that Duckgo doesn't come up with any problems on his tablet on the MOT forumAnonymous wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 10:08 am So, it does the same for you, but you are not bothered by it?

I find that Ducks cause the most problems on MOT

Poor time keeping. My mum is a horrible time keeper and it drove me nuts from an early age so I like to be early for most things now
