So I'm logged in and feel like sometimes I don't get ads, sometimes I do. About 2-3 ads at a time. Is anyone else having this issue or just me? I don't think there's a setting or anything that I can change for this.

I did notice it seems to happen more when I clear my cache but not always.

Hope this is resolved soon!

I was trying to read the Laowa to Announce AF 180mm F4.5 Macro 1.5X for EF and RF article and received so many ad's the page froze. I tried multiple times and gave up.
Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe they're making some more changes/updates. Hopefully it's done soon because there's A LOT pop-ups. It does take away from the joy of reading/exploring the site.

I think they've been doing a lot and trying to work bugs out, so fingers crossed!

Help ! The site is unusable on the phone with these video ads.

I wanna buy a CR Pro membership to make the ads go away, but it’s not currently available !
Do NOT buy CR Premium. Many of us have it and we still get ads. It's beyond frustrating. I was actually coming to make another post because there has been no information about the ads being removed. Zero. I feel like they were gone shortly and then they came back....even worse. There's tons of ads. Video after video, things just popping up all over the place.

They probably are not doing premium because there would just be more people upset.

Also, for us that purchased the ad-free experience were supposed to get small deals/gifts - NEVER HAPPENED. One of the admins said the deals fell through. Then possibly working on another one but yet to have seen anything.

The admins get mad/cocky when we bring this up, which is ridiculous. Everyone's money should be refunded if they can't provide what was promised. So now they got the money from us directly and are making money from a bunch of ads. I obviously am not going to support the site by purchasing anything through referral links.

There's never been an apology. Just "we're working on it", which was months ago. Plus a bit of passive aggressive remarks. Again, it's our fault for expecting to get what we paid for.

I'd be happy to get my money back and then have nothing to complain about. Just post was made over a month ago and no replies from the higher ups. I'm surprised it hasn't been deleted yet, like similar posts.

I don't look at this board all that often, a PM is always a good way to get quick attention.

The issue has been found and is related to recent changes to the web site, a fix should be deployed at some point today.

I didn't even consider a PM, so thanks for letting me know.

I was getting tons of ads/videos. I'm not sure about now. I usually don't look in the forums section a whole lot. I read/look at the articles, the deals, etc.

I feel like it was fixed after the revamp but then suddenly there was a LOT of ads and things popping up all over the place, which just made it so I was really limiting my time looking at anything.

I understand the site has had an overhaul and there's been bugs. I hope it all gets fixed soon. I usually consider myself a very patient and understanding person but when I wrote my last post, I was just very annoyed. I also didn't consider that admins/mods may not read these sections. So yeah, in the future if there's issues, I'll just send a PM or something.

It would be nice if once the ads and whatever other bugs are fixed, there's a notice put out. The only other bug I know of is that the pop-up asking me to sign up. Think there may be two different versions. I'm signed in already but it still pops up. I'm also on the email list.

I hope some of these issues get resolved soon, that would be great!

I've been scrolling around a bit and NO ads, so all good! The only pop-up I got was the subscribe one, which isn't a big deal. I'm sure that'll be fixed at some point. I'm just super glad the ads are gone!

The email popup thing is coded directly into the site, which isn't really the way it should be done. The code for that will be removed today.
