New Advertisement Here on the Forum?

[Notchy Bob]

Today, for the first time, I’m seeing an ENORMOUS ad for a break-action inline black powder “shotgun pistol” near the bottom of every page on the Muzzleloading Forum. It more than fills the screen on my iPad and I find it acutely annoying, for a variety of reasons. Is there some way to make it disappear? Is anybody else seeing this?

Yep, I’m seeing it, then again I haven’t renewed my mlf membership yet.

 

[Brazos John]

I don't see it.

 

[Brazos John]

Look for a thread on removing ads.
I did that a while back, and don't see the big ads, I only see the 4 small ads at the top of the page.
YMMV.

Heirloom Quality.

LOL

John, if it were there, you would not miss it! It is huge!

I am a supporting member.

Have you bought stuff on-line lately?
Maybe they think that you're an easy mark, easily tempted to buy their wares.
Nah, they don't do that stuff on-line, do they?

Well, the advertising does help pay the bills.

Thanks. However, I tried that and it didn’t work. I then logged out and logged back in again. The ad is still there.

I sent a private message to the moderators.

If you are not seeing this ad, you are lucky. The gun is an abomination, but it is the sheer size of the ad that I find most annoying. Half of the ad more than fills an entire iPad screen.

Bu bu but it's Heirloom Quality.

 

[Notchy Bob]

I logged out again, and the ad shrank to a tolerable size and moved to the right sidebar. I logged back in, and it’s back.

Yes, and it’s now $75 off!

I wouldn’t pick that thing up if I saw it in the road.

I have ads shutoff. Still getting it. I pay money here NOT to see ads so don't put it on my pages that inline would get you suspended or thrown of this forum.

Admins should fix it

 

[Grenadier1758]

I opted out of all advertisements too. Signed out and signed back in, went to a different computer and that abominable add is still there. I am going to report this to the moderators.

Yessir. I did all of that, too. I sent a PM to @Meriwether and @Stumpkiller but would encourage others to do the same.

[Jim K]

I have it too.

 

[azmntman]

Shut up you guys! Were not alowed to discuss inlines.

Money fellas it's all about the money. But don't slip up and compare an un-mentionable to stress a point. Nothing but a double barrel in-line shot gun pistol there.

I think it’s actually a muzzleloader, which apparently breaks open at the breech to cap or prime. The gun is an abomination, but I could live with the ad if it was not so dadgum big! If you don’t see it, you have no idea. It’s like somebody planted a billboard in your front yard.

Years ago I was talking with an aquaintance about muzzleloading. He said; "Hey, how do you like my new rifle?", and with that he turned suddenly, picked up an in-line off a bench that I had not noticed, and literally threw it into my hands.
I reacted like I was snake-bit, and quickly threw the thing back at him. I remember that was in 1996, and I have not touched one of those !@*&!! things since.
I know that I am a traditional black powder snob, and I absolutely despise those !#*^@!! things. I think they have corrupted the original intent of muzzleloader hunting seasons. I dropped out of the NMLRA because of their tolerance for the things.
'nuff said.
