So, why should we have our ad blocker off?

Is that why I suddenly have a popup at the bottom of my phone screen every time I go to a new page or refresh?

Is that why I suddenly have a popup at the bottom of my phone screen every time I go to a new page or refresh? There is a new banner at top asking us not to use ad blockers. I can see possible reasons for it, but I'm curious. I figured if I wanted to know, other members would as well.

Ah. I view the forum on my iPhone 95% if the time, via the mobile site, so I don't see the banner.

That's something from the parent/host site (ProBoards), not Xentor. I've seen the same on half a dozen forums run via ProBoards. If you notice, there is a link on the bottom of the boards saying "click here to remove banner ads from this forum". They sell a subscription to remove ads for $6 for a certain number of page views. Using a ad-blocker from another source cuts their revenue down.

Ah, good to know, so I can continue to ignore their message.

Well, please instruct your ad blocker to ignore our board. Just because we want to be fair to our host, Proboards.
