Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Verbs used as nouns.
(And I know that's how a lot of English nouns were formed!)

Also....
"Impacted by" - tosh words trying to dress up the basic English "hit by" or "struck by". Grr.

Decorum - the only way I know is to turn the sound off on the device you are using until you actually need it for something.

Decorum - yes, there is a way because I did it when they first made the change. I can't remember how / where though.

I've delved into fb 'App Settings' and have flicked a switch or two. Now the videos don't seem* to autoplay, which (he says with hope) should solve the issue :-)

* At least the videos currently on my feed don't auto play ;-)
