The fucking cunts at Thaivisa.....
The fucking cunts at Thaivisa.....
I opened the site to read the news and what do I get? A big fucking ad that blocks the screen and loud music blaring out at me. I have an ad blocker, as most normal people do.
Count me as one more person that won't be visiting their site!

Fuck those fucking cunts indeed. I went on to see if I got the same shit and also did. The site detects the adblocker, so throws up that big fucking nagging banner and some audio for a few seconds.
Ordinarily, that can often be dealt with by using Noscript on the site but the downside can be it has wider implications and impact on the site and pages' functionality. Such is the case here. Engaging Noscript causes functionality issues - very possibly by intent and design by the site's admin.
Stupid fucking cunts running websites just fail to grasp that adblockers and script spikers are so widely used precisely because of all the extraneous shite and annoying, possibly numerous, adverts. So guess what, Thaivisa, you stupid fucking cunts, it's now at least two people who won't be viewing your shitty site. Keep the adverts discreet, still image or text only, and don't throw in scripted popups nagware shit and I would have been a patron, maybe.

Re: The fucking cunts at Thaivisa.....
As I indicated, to see if I also experienced the same issue as the OP. I did have a positive aspect to it, though. I did some research and experiments and now have a more robust anti-script and anti-adblock detector in place now. So thanks, Thaivisa, you stupid fucking cunts, I could come back and look at your site if it wasn't so shite.Beerinthemorning wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 5:35 am

Re: The fucking cunts at Thaivisa.....
look i hate ads as much as anyone and use ad blocker, but sites make money off ads ( either numbers shown or ones clicked thru on)
whats the big deal??
there's still plenty of expats that use Thai visa ( although true, number shave dropped in the past few years, for whatever reason ) and for any new comer to Thailand its the go to site for info.
PS ; I just logged in and although i saw that popup to stop using adblocker for 2-3 days its now not there>
no idea why as i did not change anything.
Maybe it only shows upon the first 10 times u open the site ( which would be really a neat idea) or maybe they heard to many complaints or maybe after a few days of being logged in you no longer see it.

I block Java on that web-site. Most of the web-site functionality still works, and the web page loads at lightening speed with no adverts or pop-ups.
The TV home page has 60 adverts!! (according to my Ad Blocker software).
Basically, the revenue model that TV uses is completely broken
