Ideas, Issues, Suggestions

Seems a bit excessive to me to have all these additional threads for all these existing subjects. Especially since there’s not much happening otherwise in these threads.

do we have a thread for celebraties celebrating there birthdays?? and i do applogise for posting vera lyns birthday in the wrong thread

No we don’t. It’s not big news really. But the fact that she released new music on her birthday, makes it suitable for the Music thread.

I’m glad the mods are focussed on the big issues.

do we or can we have an thread for apps being used in convid-19 i just found an article about zoom which i think is very interesting

You could just post it in the Impact thread. I think I’ve seen something about Zoom and House Party in there already.

Not a big deal, but can the Corona category be not the first thing you see when you open the website? I’m aware about the impact of it and all, but I reckon it should be more further down in the category list.

I always open https://forums.mediaspy.org/latest rather than the home page.

Is there something either staff or I can do in terms of viewing this site better? The mobile theme doesn’t work so well nor does desktop. I’ll be slowly scrolling and it will jump 20 posts up. Not once, constantly. Also images are falling to the right of the screen unable to scroll across. Is there an app I can use or an update for the site software?

I’ve never had that issue, what browser and operating systems are you using?

iOS 13.4.1 (latest) and Safari.

Edit: Just tried it in Firefox and had the same issue.

You could try Opera. It works ok for me.

I could, but that’s not how the web should work. A website should work correctly across browsers and operating systems. At this point in time I’m not prepared to download a new browser for one website that does not work properly when said website used to serve me porn ads when entering via Google. Is any of that bad code still hanging around on the server somewhere?

Edit: added a word.

Yes. I never had this problem before but it started happening on my phone too, a few weeks ago.

It’s just showing you ads along the lines of your most googled sites. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I regularly clear my cookies and history as a privacy measure and have done for many years. Also it was showing me women… I’m a gay guy…

Opera strips out the ads, so I never see any. :grinning:

You’re not alone. This has been happening to me for a long time.
I’m on Android.

Never had any issues across several browsers / devices aside from some isolated stuff related to embedded videos.

Note that ads are based solely on Google’s profile / interests (this is unrelated to cookies / history), it’s nothing at all to do with Mediaspy. If you’re getting served ads for adult content you might want to take a peek here and revise your Google ad settings…

Get a content blocker for ads. I’ve not had display issues on MacOS or iOS but I’m running an older MacOS version and use Chrome. I wonder if it’s a Safari issue?
