Taboola

StuHolmes Jan 2017 3:05pm, 8 Jan 2017 1178 posts	0 StuHolmes Have we always had Taboola links at the bottom of every forum page?
Duchess Jan 2017 4:34pm, 8 Jan 2017 7303 posts	0 Duchess Nope. I assume it's part of the advertising revenue stream. But it's a type that really annoys me...!
Yorkshire Pie Jan 2017 5:03pm, 8 Jan 2017 13126 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie I agree - I don't mind ads but really hate click bait. On the plus side, it reminded me that I needed to get round to subscribing and now it's gone
Meglet Jan 2017 5:07pm, 8 Jan 2017 17498 posts	0 Meglet No they're new. I dislike them a lot and find it annoying as on the phone I used to scroll down to get the thread links, now it's too far, and the thread header is way down too. I've actually sent feedback as I think it really cheapens the site. I'll be subscribing when Fetch sends bank details (or have I missed that?)
Yorkshire Pie Jan 2017 5:10pm, 8 Jan 2017 13127 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie I used the subscribe link at the top
fetcheveryone Jan 2017 10:37pm, 8 Jan 2017 18126 posts	0 fetcheveryone Just trying it out. Will be providing feedback to Taboola.
StuHolmes Jan 2017 10:59pm, 8 Jan 2017 1181 posts	0 StuHolmes I could give you some feedback to give to Taboola but I'm afraid it wouldn't be very constructive, or nice. Don't mind regular ads at all, I have disabled ad-blocking on FE. But I hate Taboola/Outbrain clickbait. Plus, I am having the same issue as Meglet when using my phone. Are you still going to be providing details for standing orders? Or should we use the subscribe option?
Duchess Jan 2017 11:40pm, 8 Jan 2017 7306 posts	0 Duchess I'm disliking it for the reasons Meglet says. I know we need to be financially self sufficient but (could possibly just tolerate them if they didn't interfere with navigating the site)
Meglet Jan 2017 11:47pm, 8 Jan 2017 17500 posts	0 Meglet Agreed, if they were below the thread header and links...
Meglet Jan 2017 9:47pm, 9 Jan 2017 17505 posts	0 Meglet They've gone! Thank you Fetch, it's a much nicer place without them. Now, if you can send your bank details I can properly get rid of the rest of the ads...
