If you notice any issues or have any questions, please post them here.

There is work currently being done on the backend.

Customizing it to make it look nicer will be secondary and ongoing. :LOL2:

I had an initial issue accessing because of an Ad Blocker. Now everything seems OK.

Regarding ad blockers...

Animated gifs, and autostart vids are the issue and THE reason folks created and users adopted ad blockers. Why? Because it uses scads of bandwidth that users may be paying for, not fair... IMO.

Static ads like non animated images are NOT blocked by (AFAIK) any of the ad blockers. I think board owners globally really, REALLY need to evaluate their ads and try to move animation to static images. Then it's a win / win for everyone.
 
With regard to my Ad Blocker....even though I disabled it, I am still getting a warning every time I open a post????????


UPDATE...Now, when I open a page, I no longer get the Ad warning, but just a line that says TEST, JUST A TEST.

FYI.

We are still testing things. :lol:

I removed my ad blocker on this site. This site is worth it, IMHO.

First time when I encountered the problem, there was a message that said remove Ad Blocker for this site. I don't know how to do that. Opened a bunch of stuff in Norton, but didn't change anything. Now the site works for me.

Don't want to waste anyone's time during the roll-out. Down the road I will need to learn how to adjust Ad Blockers.

PS:[strike] I also see the "Test, This is only a test." at the top of above the thread title. [/strike] Oops - just saw Jim's note-- ignore.
 
IF...you are using ADBLOCK...then you should have a small icon on the top of your screen. It will look like a Green circle with an upraised hand in it.

Click on it while you are on the Tinboats Site. It will then give you some options, but the one I use is Do Not Block Ads on pages on this Site. Then another screen pops up, and you check Exclude all. That should do it.

You can do that for any page that you want to allow ads on.

That depends on the adblocker, that's not a web page generated green circle.
 
The adblocker check has been disabled. FWIW if you insert a video from a site, it will auto load the preview like this one and all I did was post the link like this
Code:

Much easier, only problem is that it seems to have disabled my old imbedded video codes #-o . Oh well, gave me an excuse to look back through and fix them. 8)
