Advertisements

Is it possible to become an official member of Patsfans to get rid of the advertisements? The forums are already designed horribly and commit just about every cardinal sin in terms of development/layout and the cherry on top is the insane amount of advertisements with video/sound. Because the site is designed so clunky, it's faster to open up forum posts in new tabs but of course you then have to listen to multiple advertisements with video & sound play at once. Turning off sound is an option but still beyond clunky.

If the answer is 'deal with it' then that's fine

Open a post, hear an ad. Click back, hear an ad. Repeat indefinitely.

C`mon man!

Someone else had mentioned this and since the ads are done through a network, I don't really have much control over what comes through. I just requested to have non-initiated audio shut off, so as long as you don't mouseover one or click one nothing should make any sounds. But obviously let me know if you're still experiencing an issue.

Regarding your additional complaints regarding development/layout, unfortunately you're not giving me much in terms of actual suggestions in terms of why you feel that way. "Clunky" unfortunately only tells me so much, but if you'd like to expand further and tell me more descriptively what your issue is I'd be happy to see if I can't tweak some things to see if I can't improve them.
