Can't imagine why a business might want to help its customers. So yes, I suppose it might not be entirely altruistic, you'd have to ask them.

That's sort of what I said, isn't it?

I don't really see what logout issues have to do with subscriptions

Some people reported that they weren't able to benefit from ad-free P-ness because they weren't able to log in, or stay logged in.

I'm not entirely sure, it wasn't the clearest sentence I've ever read TBH.

Did you miss the solution I posted [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/when-consensus-becomes-impossible-to-ignore/page/4#post-6701737 ]two pages ago[/url]?

Did you miss the solution I posted two pages ago?.

Was that a solution? Looks more like a temporary workaround to me, but y'know.

Are you here for the five minute argument or the full half hour?

Let me give you an overview of how this issue has progressed:

"Wah wah I keep getting logged out, and there's adverts."

There's no-one to look into it right now I'm afraid, it'll have to wait till after the weekend.

"Wah wah I keep getting logged out, and there's adverts."

Well, ok, here's a bunch of things you can try.

"Wah wah I keep getting logged out, and there's adverts."

Good news everybody! We've found a workaround, it's a simple setting you can change which means if you do get logged out then you can click one button to log back in and there's no adverts.

"Wah wah I keep getting logged out."

The techs are back, here's a behind the scenes explanation and a possible solution.

"Wah wah I keep getting logged out."

Well, it's definitely an issue with your devices, which we can't see, but here's a few suggestions which might help you track it down.

"Wah wah I keep getting logged out."

Have you tried any of our suggestions? Any different?

"Wah wah I keep getting logged out and STW don't care, it's so unfair and I hate you, I was thinking of subscribing but I'm not going to now, that'll show you!! This place is shit and all the other forums are fabulous."

Um. Ok?

You forgot.

"I told the mods along time ago why I won't subscribe"

None of us can recall that of course.

I'm out of the thread now, seems the problems I have are not STW's therefore I'm not going to bother them with my innate whining any longer. I suspect STW Gurus have far better things to think about than us at this time of night (or day come to that)

iDevices wule 8) speshially if they is all linked up like, init.

Thanks for shedding some light on it though STW Gurus, you have come up with a few brainstorm ideas and I like that, thanks.

Cheers Chaps.

There are ads? (-:

You know, if you baulk at the price of half a pint per month to have an advert-free experience, might I suggest becoming a moderator? Then you get a [P] for the low, low price of having to spend half your life trying to deal with everyone's problems on a daily basis rather than just your own and leaving work an hour late because of it.

I think I'm going to step away from this for now and find some kittens to drown or something.

Yes Mark noticed that. Thanks. Only 3 today and that was this morning. Thank to Drac and Patrick for patience and attempts to sort things out. Glad that there was a response in the end.

Your friend might take a pause and a chill pill. Sorry STFU and suck it up, cos it's free, doesn't work as all the threads showed. No good misrepresenting how forums work, what posters say and what you told us last week and then calling customers (!!) trolls and whiners for pointing it out. Potential Ratner moment.

Alls well that ends well.

Thank you for addressing the issues.

I think Mark's only going to be getting a 4/5 in his annual review. Just two many deadlines missed this weekend. 😐

Still, room for improvement next year...that's the advantage of getting a four I suppose.

Thank you but Cougar provided just as much help.

To be fair it was in response to your attitude, which was getting very boring. Like I said early on the thread it seemed to be your thread of choice of arguing for the day. Turned out I was wrong it was for the whole weekend. I guess you haven't used a chill pill for years as it's something we've warned you before for.

Sorry? TH.. I called who a what now? I've been in an airconditioned warehouse in London's docklands all weekend. When did I do another ratner?

"Customers" was in the context of STW as a business. Which, oddly, it is. I suppose I should've said "users", but I was trying to imply some sort of two-way process. More fool me I suppose.

I called who a what now?

That was aimed at me, Mark. For once, it's not you having tact and diplomacy failure. (-:

Too dd, too (passive what?)

Drac - just stated what's happening but like emails tone can be misinterpreted. Sorry that was not the intent truly.

But no, don't pop pills. Dangerous habit

Not you mark!!!

Over and out. This won't end well. Sorry if my tone went too far but the adds we're bloody irritating and constant.

For balance (may as well provide some), I managed to log in from work today without the browser going ""AAARGH, nooooooooooooo" and then firing a missile up its bumhole.

Depends if you're trying to think about problems other than your regular bed-wetting?

This is the best laid out forum I use by miles.

Really? Because where I'm sitting the only difference between here and 4chan is a disappointing lack of porn.

Seeing as Mark is involved here could he(you) explain why STW needs so much advertising as opposed to bigger forums with more features and users? Skyscrapercity being one example.

It's not the concept that bothers me so much as the over-use of it. If it costs [i]that[/i] much to run the forum I suggest you may want to find new hosts who don't charge the national debt of a small country to host it. If it's a part of an overall financial model for the magazine and wider website then fine.

As for avatars and sigs and stuff like that - you luddites do realise that you can easily disable all that with the click of a button yes?

Avatars and sigs are from 90s.

Signatures and avatars are shit!

LFGSS is my default forum. They went through a radical change fairly recently; all members were invited to comment on the process by the fella that runs it. There's minimal advertising, avatars, PM's, and all very user friendly. The forum self moderates too, it really is a community.

https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/131364/?offset=3850#comment11762439

Maybe worth a look for the STW bods? Might aid the detente process...?

This site could have minimal advertising too.
I'm not sure the 18 staff that rely on this site for a wage would be too happy about that.
