If members select their posts, comments everything to be "members only" that will prevent the mid problem to an extent. This feature is already there so it is useful.

this seems new and sorry to say vijay sir but its annoying. I understand Ads are important to sites for funding but I feel this message shouldnt come on every page. I am seing this on every page or thread i click on. Please fix the popup to make it optional and for users to customize.

I agree, that it is really irritating to see this on literally every page like irrespective wherever one goes to.

another thing here vijay sir. Although ads are very important please limit them on the page as well. Many times they hide content or keep poping up even after one closes them. It hides content and also makes page load slower especially the ones popping from bottom of page. There should be some saving of the user preferences in both FE and BE so users can customize.

Thanks for your understanding that the ads are important for the site development since we are a non-funded company and have been bootstrapping since inception.


We are open to suggestions related to ads placement. Please share the screenshot of the page where you are facing this issue.

Sir the ads come up in between posts and many times while scrolling they occupy the whole page. Even on desktop when we switch to another page/topic etc a whole page ad comes up. If they stick to the sides/ four corners and without popups that cover content, I would be willing to exempt the site from my blocker.

Please share the screenshot so that we can look into the same.

Hey admin and mods,

I've noticed when we change our usernames, the username change log is visible to all members. It'd be great if we could have an option to hide this to maintain our privacy, especially with the ongoing fan wars and targeting. Otherwise changing username is pointless to a certain extent.

Another feature that might be helpful is the ability to hide our forum posts fully from others without it displaying as "post is hidden."

Lastly, the 7-day deactivation feature feels a bit glitchy. Can we make it more user-friendly, perhaps by letting us reactivate whenever we want without those glitches errors and mandatory 7 days?

These are the video ads. They came up three times on the same page between posts. Sorry, I can't take that long screenshot otherwise it would have been clearer

Thanks for this! I was coming to complain about this.

Within 2 minutes into IF portal it has already appeared 7 times. I hope the team get it fixed because i am not going to remove ad blocker for I-F at all.

If you see on the 2nd pic within this one screen we have 3 placements and when i scroll just a bit further down i get one more banner between posts.

THe banner thing right at the bottom is the most annoying. Even though there is an arrow to minimize it on the left this arrow never works and this covers a lot of the page sometimes even quote or reply option. This is worse also on mobile devices where space is even more less. I would request to have atleast! this bottom popup ad thing to be removed because it overlaps a lot of content. THe others like in my ss of H&M or "allnetflat" is still ok. This banner problem on the bottom is on every page!
