All of my desktop browsers are blocking Motunation RESOLVED

Okay... I see the little padlock icon to the left of the URL in my Brave browser. Well, I had to spend a few bucks, but it's fixed. Happily marking THIS topic "RESOLVED"

I'm probably going to look hard soon into shrinking the top banner a little so I can wedge a small google ad in the upper right corner. Something not as obtrusive as those sliding things that Google added to the site when I let their AI decided for me.

Sorry you had to go through that.

I hope that you can monetize this site at least enough to break even but showing a return would be better, of course. Those sliding ads did get in the way, however.

I don't care how big the ads are. Maybe you can give Doris a raise.

PS: I use an ad blocker.

PPS: Thanks for your continuing support for this important website James.

What's interesting is my bookmark is https, and it shows as sure with the lock icon, but I can go to threads that don't show a lock icon while https. Last night it was totally blocked with https. Also above my pay grade...

Of course you do. Everyone does. Well not everyone I guess, otherwise countless forums might just disappear.

Which is why I wish we could find a way to monetarily support this forum besides whichever way the Google winds blow that James would agree to. Perhaps an anonymous tip jar? Any ideas?

Most of us might have a blocker but some of us don’t apply it on every site.

Well, I might put a little PayPal button somewhere. I didn't need to do it while Sweetwater still had a banner ad here. Last time I had one, though, I made sure it could be a max donation of $1. Don't want people doing too much. Funny story... in the early days of Unicornation which is what it was called then, I got a PayPal donation from Kerry Livgren of Kansas! That was pretty cool!

Kansas and Kerry rock!

[mhschmieder]

Perhaps that explains the name change between Doris and Dorothy, if we are not in Kansas anymore (or maybe Kerry isn't; I haven't kept track, as that is a job for an accountant).

I think that was a senior moment.

[James Steele]

I think she’s always been Doris.
