TBI 2,351 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Well, I wish her luck with that one. ' Dukki ' eh? And Is it just me but every time I go on that Nottingham Post site I get bombarded with adverts I can't stop. Get's right on me wick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I get the adverts on the Post site too - drives me mad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,681 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hope she does well , though the telling time will be when the rent free period runs out ! Also , if it appears to be successful there will be plenty coming out with similar designs , can you copyright dialect phrases ? P.s. Also fed up of the post website , in fact all the regional newspaper sites within the same group . When viewed on my tablet the bloomin page jumps all over the place , as numerous pop-ups try and load . The worst one is when you get an ad covering the whole screen and you can't see the delete button ! Somebody must have told them how bad their sites are and how it totally alienates readers ? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scriv 168 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Also , if it appears to be successful there will be plenty coming out with similar designs , can you copyright dialect phrases ? I did hear of an off-licence in Yorkshire who got fed up with tourists coming in and asking for string. It was called T'Wine shop. I'll get me coat. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I thought there was something wrong with my LapTop when I get the Nottm Post up. It is almost impossible to read with the adds jumping about all of the time. I am sure it has got worse lately. I do actually give up and come of it some times 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I agree with you, carni. It's really annoying and I often go on to something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Secret to no adds, Addblocker plus. Never get any pop up adds now, I also use Ghostery which kills trackers that try to suit the adds to your internet browsing. You do not realise how invasive the net can be until you see a list of these trackers that try to load with the page you are looking at. Google is one of the worst trackers ! Both are free downloads and usually bug free. Just checked out the Post site and no annoying PU's for me there was a blink where they tried to load then nothing. Just the news story. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Right on, banjo48......It's good isn't it when we can apparently read the Post better than those on the other side of the world........... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Thanks for the tip Banjo. My son visits us on Wednesdays, so I will see if he can set it up for me. I just realised he isn't coming this week because we will be in Nottingham. I will have to put up with it for another week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I was going to suggest the same thing Banjo. I use Chrome as my browser and have AdBlock plus to get rid of any adverts and pop ups whilst streaming TV shows. Works a treat. I don't get any now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Right that's it I'm going to kick the sh!t out of the paper lad when I see him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I called in to this shop on a visit into town the other day. Seemed very expensive to me for what is really cheap tacky stuff, an example is a small cushion with a bit of writing on it for £10 apiece ! Not much in the shop. I'll give em 3 months.

catfan 14,793 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Ayup banjo48 thanks for the tip. Just installed Ad-Block & straight away killed off those stupid EveningPost pop-ups !!!!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I went in on Wednesday and that was my impression too. Not enough stock and too expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
