Quite possibly the "ad" I got for Converter Suite - see post above.
the same sort Windows Security blocked on Opera in my earlier post
Malware
Sorry Richard I can't remember whether it was store or forum. It wasn't exactly an ad, just a white bar along the bottom of the browser window with blue-edged boxes inside which were empty but had a little blue "x" in the corner, which I took to be an ad popup. I didn't screenshot it and today I can't seem to reproduce it.
I am still getting the annoying cookie popup on every page of both store and forum today.
Here's what the main forum page looks like and what Malwarebytes claims to be blocking.
ETA: Also what the main store page looks like.
I finally got rid of the cookie popup clearing out my cookies and browsing history on Firefox on iOS
the point is though DAZ presumably WANTS AdSense revenue so having our Adblockers isn't in their interest
yet
as soon as I permit any my security/ Antivirus is triggered
so this really is a DAZ problem they should be fixing
as I said I whitelist other sites that ask me to disable my Adblocker on their sites because Ads are not a problem. are discrete, might play a short video or 2 unobtrusively
don't trigger any security
benniewoodell, MelanieL, reported both of these and they said they are gonna look into them.
I''m getting the cookie popup on every forum page now, even though I accept cookies every time. Chrome, Windows 11.
Thanks, Frank - now I don't know whether they found the problem or something else changed, but I just came back to my laptop after dinner and a TV evening and got the cookie question on the first store page I landed on and the first one or two pages in the forum, clicked to accept and (crossed fingers) have not had any more cookie popups. I hope it continues this way!
Yeah, others are reporting the same and we just spoke with them and they are still trying to find the cause and a solution for it.
I can't have my computers going to websites that could potentially host viruses. If one of those spreads to your cookware then you have to disconnect all the dishes from the network and reflash the firmware in all your pots and pans. And some of that firmware is in Dutch.
You all might be accepting the cookie, but if your browser is set to not accept third-party cookies, nothing will change.
Why are Daz cookies third-party cookies?
Just that one, I believe. It says "We and our vendors" and all that blurb. (Of course, it doesn't who "we" are, and the rest is suitably vague that it could come from anyone). You can set preferences to decline what can be declined, except for "essential" cookies. Some sites just will not work without them. If I am blocking ads anyway, I'll never see the consequences of accepting. The cookie was saved and I have never seen the prompt again.
As far as I ama ware a cookie controlling the behaviour of the daz site would have to be a daz cookie. You may get others set by things running within the page (e.g. ads) but those are handled by the sub-pages generated by the third-party provider, and would be the cookies deleted under a delete third-party cookies setting.
Well it seems that 14 days was all I get of pop-up freedom.
The cookie acceptance pop-ups are back on store, forums and gallery. All was fine until about five minutes ago. (Still on Win11 and Chrome browser)
By the way, why is my forum page saying "waiting for www.facebook.com" at the bottom - what has Facebook for to do with it? (I don't use it)
All those social meedia icons down at the bottom of the page are links to the sites - and a form of trackers.
It's started to feel more like Daz just sold itself to any and all advertisers. The ads will keep encroaching bit by bit until the website is nothing but ads.
Ok, this is a bit much. The ad wasn't even included in the quoted post, it was just inserted into the quote.
Looks like mature women who are ready to get started right away. And you'll never pay full price again.
Wow, I always have an ad blocker on, so I have not seen what everyone is talking about, but the other day I turned if off for another site and forgot to enable it and came to the DAZ forums. HOLY CRAP, ad city. now I see what you all are experienceing, totally uncool.
It seems the DAZ decision makers have never cared about the forums. But somebody told them the forums exist so they decided they should turn it into a way to bring in money, in the only way they could think of. And they've probably never looked at the forums themselves so they have no idea what they've done to it.
I see this topic remains understandably acrimonious. Many of us here on the forum have surely paid Daz more money over time than any ad-removal subscription would cost. It's hard to imagine that the ads are providing good ROI or in anyway compensate the ill will their presence generates.
They really can't care all that much about the forum. Looks like they jacked up the ads to an even more obtrusive level. If they're trying to drive people away, it's working great.
I'm on safari mobile and am now getting ads inbetween forum posts as well as at the bottom. Anyone else getting this?
If a customer is enticed by an ad, clicks on it, and then spends the money they would have spent at Daz on whatever was in the ad, is the trickle of ad revenue worth sending the customer away in the first place? Just a thought.
I'm using Vivaldi and Ghostery here. I'm not seeing ads.
This is what I've been seeing on my phone when I access the forum. Often there isn't anything visible on the page except the ads.
