Fidotich Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hi, I'm from Russia, what's up? :thumbsup: Each time I open a new nexus page I am told how terrible it is to have a headache, and how jolly fine it is to buy a particular headache medicine.Oh, and if I'm not I am greeted by a housewife deeply troubled by the unsatisfactory state of her *swearword* carpet. And to think of it, it's mostly ok, well, save for one thing - the *swearword* audio starts automatically, needless to say it is loud, and when I'm browsing mods I hear it 4 - 10 times a minute. To turn of the sound you need to click a tiny icon at top right corner of the ad, which takes some time, so you always hear at least the first sentence, over and over and over again. This is even worse than television, if this is the way net goes count me out and into the furnace. Aw well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Just Adblock the video ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Or "Do the Right Thing" and become a Premium Member. Then you are advert-free on Nexus! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you are advert-free on Nexus! :thumbsup:When ads are that disruptive it's acceptable to block them.Google Ads or simple .pngs are fine though.

blakavar Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Its one thing to have a advertisement without sound, but these are extremely invasive. Volume switches from ad to ad, blasting you almost every time you go to a new link. There also seems to be a few site related redirects, that are annoying.

Fidotich Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 AdBlock, simple yet elegant, TY ubrex. :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Becoming a Premium Member - also simple, yet elegant. Especially since the original objection was to an aspect of that which is necessary only to support this service for those who are NOT Premium Members. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balagor Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Not to forget that when you join up as "Premium" besides getting rid of adds, you get acces to a server with a much faster download speed.LOL, looks like you also get spammed with advertising here. At least there is no audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 At least there is no audio.There is, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 At least there is no audio.There is, actually."There is..." When? Where? I don't think I've EVER encountered audio when visiting Nexus (except when I select an embedded youtube or something. :laugh: ) 'Course I became a Premium Member after about my second visit, so I may be forgetting something that happened during the first.
