    I’m a subscriber, and ‘ad-free’ is ticked in my subscription settings, but for some reason my screen seems to be full of adverts today?  Anyone else having that?

    Hooray! One tip: untick the box, save, then tick again. Brought to you by the IT Crowd. Worked for me.

    Now I can stop worrying about exactly why I got targeted with some specific ads…

    Jack – thanks for this.  I don’t know if it helps – and its sorted now anyway – but during the Week of Adverts the ‘no ads’ box was ticked in my subscriber settings but I was seeing the ads anyway.

    Thanks Jack

    I never noticed the No Ads checkbox before in my profile. Is this something that is manually changeble for subscribers, ie if it happens again we can go in and check it? Or is it only a visual clue and not something we can change?

    Hi all, we’re really sorry

    Hi all, we’re really sorry about this and have been trying to get to the bottom of why the ads free box is unchecking for some of you, as mentioned already we think it might be something to do with renewing subscriptions. If you’re a subscriber and go into your account settings, the ‘no ads’ box should be ticked. We’ve gone through and ticked the no ads box for all subscribers on this thread, if anyone is still seeing them that shouldn’t be (i.e. the no ads box is ticked in your profile) do get in touch with us directly at info@road.cc and we’ll respond. 

    Apologies again!

    The PedalTrippr ads don’t show when I’m logged in.  There are no ads.

    It’s quite refreshing.

    I have an ad blocker running, and since I’m a subscriber, I don’t feel guilty about it.

    Nope, still here for me at the moment. 

    Maybe they are fixing one by one (and not alphabetically either). Do you still have the PedalTrippr ads on the side of the forum or as a main “article” on the front page as that is where I could still tell when an Adblocker was actuallly on doing the job I had paid Road.cc for.

    Well, today my screen is covered with adverts telling me to watch La Vuelta on GCN+…

    Seriously, road.cc people – I think all of us subscribers would like some sort of update or a timescale on fixing this issue.

    Please.
