RMweb Premium rab Posted September 27, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) It's probably something I've done, but I'm on RMWeb premium and the ads have reappeared. I've cleared cookies, logged out and back in. When I go to the themes, it shows the premium option but wont let me select it. Help please!!!! PS: Only seems to be happening on the 'price increases ' thread in the Accuraascale/Irish Railways thread??? Edited September 27, 2022 by rab Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AY Mod Posted September 29, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 29, 2022 Ads are still showing in some sub-forums (inc. Accurascale), irrespective of membership level - I'm still waiting for a fix from our ad team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 @AY Modslightly off topic but has there been an upgrade to the site this evening. Am noticing image thumbnails in the activity stream, I am sure they didn’t used to be there. This is on iPhone Safari Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There's an update - the system will be offline for an hour or two while it completes and you may have to rebuild the indexes." "Ooh good, an update. Which of the issues have you fixed?" "Err, none.

Hesperus Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Is the "Digitrains gets video" thing a Google ad that the £12 will get rid of? It's one of the most obtrusive ads I've known on any site and makes typing a post really difficult as it won't go away. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR traction instructor Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 …ditto…such intrusive advertising will have the opposite of the desired effect on me, I won’t entertain giving my hard earned to such a pita. BeRTIe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I have no objection to advertising. It or subscription is entirely necessary. Is the new update working as intended or broken? I'm seeing a lot of weird 'random' behaviour. Often a video player is being inserted after the second post on every topic page, or a floating video player is launched with similar content or BOTH simultaneously - which seems over the top. Additionally the floating video player is frequently appearing without the "close player" option, resulting in the player obscuring content and impacting the rendering of posts. Yes, advertising is necessary. No complaints there, but the floating players need to have a functioning "close player" button - like they did before for the site to work properly.

No "CLOSE PLAYER" button at top right: It just keeps playing and playing until the page is closed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 It's very sensitive to scrolling. Scrolling back up can make the embedded player after the second post reappear and scrolling down past the embedded player will make the floating player appear. Sometimes the floating player has a "CLOSE PLAYER" button, but eventually does not and the video plays until you leave the page. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft Windows 10 / Chrome Version 107.0.5304.107 (Official Build) (64-bit) Contents pages seem to behave OK. It is thread topic pages where the weird stuff happens. Sometimes, even when the CLOSE PLAYER button shows up, a new floating player regenerates. Edited November 15, 2022 by Ozexpatriate 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ron Ron Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I’m getting exactly the same issues with the player, with no close button (x) and the pages are sometimes jumping about as I scroll down the page. The player pops up with an x, but once closed down, another player appears with no x. Using IOS on an iPad. I haven’t checked on my Mac yet. . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
