Blocked by Mobileread?

[LordP]

For some reason, I can't access this place on my computers.

I did a million things and no luck.

Finally I called my ISP and one tech cannot connect while another tech can??????

Anyone else having issues?

[LordP]

Ps, I am using my phone, and it sucks

There's already a thread about it over on the Feedback forum. Maybe check there:

I'll try but the ads on this phone make it impossible to navigate

Dear God.

I have been fighting this for two days.

Not for nothing, but this website is un-navigable with all the advertisements when using my telephone.

I'm using desktop Windows Firefox but I had to kill some domains in hosts.
First, there was the space at the top getting Temu ads, but I killed the content, but not the space allocation.
Then there was the mysterious "Advert" (like a post) block, but small.
Now there is a second one of these that's larger.
Clearly something is going on and changing.

Edit: Now the "Advert" block is gone.

I have never seen ads when on my PC.

I never see ads (or empty spaces for ads) on Mobileread on any device when I'm logged into my Mobileread account. Laptop, PC, tablet, or phone.

Please lets not conflate this Ad thing with being unable to get to Mobileread at all on some devices.

The only time I see ads at the MobileRead forums on my phone is if I'm not logged in.

I know that I'm in the minority here.
I've asked people to view source and see if there's a div with "adsbygoogle".
Nobody has reported back.
So I don't know if my HTML is different or everybody has this but it's disabled somehow.

The only adsbygoogle I see is what's posted in this thread.

Thanks.

Oh, well, the mystery remains.
With enough domains shut off I just have the one white space right now.

I was able to browse on my desktop by sticking Browsec VPN on my browser. (Some browsers have VPN built-in as well.) Adblockers worked.
