Site

[Demonracer]

Somebody needs to get a handle on the latest upgrade to the site. It is more hosed up than I've ever seen it. I get unsolicited pop ups that I didn't get before, pictures don't load correctly, new post notification does work correctly now, read pages are no longer high lighted and I sure there are other things screwed up. For the last two days I've seen "we are working on it", but I'm not seeing any forward progress.

It's still f****d up, now I'm getting spam from plumbing companies and when I try to reply to a post the words are italicized. Come on Joey, you can do better.

I see you are a Gold Membership, that should help.

What devices are you using?

Type of Laptop and or phone? What operating systems are you running? What web browser are you using?

There are combinations of these that are much worse than others, as I have tested these for others last night.

Google Chrome on Windows 10 Laptop on left. Not signed in, non-gold membership, ads poping up mid page and regular ads on right side.

Firefox on Linux laptop on right. Regular ads on right, not signed in. Better...

__________

Signed in with Gold Membership, Firefox on Android Phone > no ads, can load pictures properly.

No color on buttons at page bottom.. more generic look > don't know if that is the idea or if @Joeychgo is still working it out?

Using a 7 month old laptop, Windows 11. Don't use my phone, too hard to see. As I said, until the latest update everything was fine.

Are you using the Microsoft "Edge" browser? As that comes as the standard browser on Windows 11.

That Edge browser is known to cause problems if things are not perfect. Can try to go in a shut down 3rd party cookies, they bring in the ads.

Might have to google that on how to do it for your browser. Set security settings to Strict etc...

As I said, "EVERYTHING WAS WORKING GREAT" until the software upgrade. If I use my old laptop with Windows 10, I get the same BS!

Lots of Ads...

Pictures and Screenshots loading fine here.

__________

Firefox browser on Android phone, signed in Gold Membership all working fine, except for pale buttons on the bottom of the page.. but things are working.

Examples of how things are working ^^^ above.

Yes believe Windows 10 uses the same Microsoft Edge browser, so same troubles between the 2 laptops.

At least try Google Chrome browser and see if things improve. Try this on your old Windows 10 laptop.

Demonracer,
Everthing checks out here on my end with different devices, different browsers. Signed in with Gold Membership.

Just posted this up in Random Pictures thread, Windows 10 laptop with Microsoft Edge browser, signed in Gold Membership.

Working ^^^ Fine

Below is Microsoft Edge without signing in:

Lots of ads.

__________

Sorry to say looking like the problems you are experiencing are on your end.

Would say clean your cookies and temporary internet files, they clogg things up when they build up on your laptops.

Next is your internet service provider dolling out additional ads and conflicts.

Good Luck

I am moving this thread to Website questions instead of Gold Member Discussions. Joey will get a notification there and hopefully he can find solutions to your issues.

@Demonracer

Just thinking are you using automatic sign in when you go to get onto the FABO website?

Where it remembers your user name and password.

Or do you type in your email address and password every time you sign in?

Then do you sign out when you are done with the Session or do you just close out the web page window?

You may need to reset your email and password in the Server Memory so it can auto sign in...

Sign out of your account, close the web page, reboot your computer, sign in again on the FABO log in page.

I always Sign In with email address and password and don't remember the password, then always sign out at the close of the visit > returning you to the Log In window, then close the web page. Much more secure this way instead of leaving it open all the time.

May have to reset after the Software Update.
