Hi everyone,
Brian has tried to get back on GoY, but like many, blasted by multiple adverts and finding it difficult.
I’ve a few sometimes, but I know others have been inundated. Any advice or best way to get rid of the influx please?
Many thanks, Kate x

I think I did see his name on here a few weeks ago...know him from when I first started. Doesn't he live in Bristol Kate? As for the dreaded adverts,I have very few now after using a blocker..Will check which one it is.

Adblockplus is free!

Aw thank you, Julia. Yes, it’s Brian from Bristol. I’ll message him now and let him know you use Adblockplus.
That’s great, fingers crossed. His garden is looking beautiful at the moment xx

Same here Kate ... daughter installed Adblock Plus a long time ago ... see my PM just sent.

I hope Brian manages to install it ... perhaps his son could help him out?

Lovely, thanks Shirley. That’s great.
I’ve texted him, I’ll get him to ask his son for help too xx

Adblock doesn't work on my chrome book so have to put up with them!

Rose, that's because Google has “improved” Chrome to ensure you don't miss any advert experiences. [Sarc]

There is another blocker you can install, Ghostery, read about it here
Blocks most adds & also add privacy & security
Just load & forget

and ghostery is in Chrome web store

I have to tolerate them on the iPad. You do get used to them after a while.

19 May, 2025

 

Yes, I’m the same Karen, I’ve learnt to ignore them.

I hope it will work for Brian. I used to like his garden.

No adverts for me on my iPad since you advised installing the free Adblock plus app. I do hope Brian gets this and we can enjoy his company and his lovely garden again. He has gifted me so many plants and seeds over the years.

Adverts ruin Goy on my phone from the minute it pops up on the screen but on our IPad we have no trouble at all.

I will try Adblock plus. Thanks HB :)

Apologies for my late reply everyone! Work stuff and puncture yesterday coming across the Humber Bridge 😵‍💫
Shirley, so pleased you’ve had a PM from Brian, that’s lovely - good to catch up! Xx

Brilliant info Grandad! That’s great 👍

Klahanie, I do hope we get to see his lovely garden on here again 🤞

Kate, I think we shall keep in touch via email as Brian tells me he is struggling with this site.

22 May, 2025

 

Bless, that’s understandable. It’s not easy for many on here. Lovely to hear you’ll be keeping in touch x

Thanks Grandad, I tried that but google chrome said it wasn't available.

That's odd Rose, not even by following the link?

Perhaps your version is incompatible?
