Seriously ff.net needs to get their bleeding act together. First I couldn't edit my stories (thanks to the person who posted that fix) and now I can't search for a fic! Seriously?!?! This is messed up.

These folks needs to get on it and fix their junk. UGH.

lol. I have AdBlock Plus. I dun see no ads either. I remember their no ads thing use to be for three days, and then they changed it to one day. That thing isn't really worth having if it's only blocking ads for one day.

I don't even know why they have that feature. I mean, if they need the ad revenue, I don't have a huuuuuuge problem with it if they keep the ads fairly unobtrusive. I do know having no ad-blocker means you get interrupted with a full-page ad and then a "click here to go back to your original ff.n page" or whatever, but they shouldn't NEED ads like that to raise revenue.

Yea, I got AdBlock Plus just to get rid of the full body ads. I remember one time I was reading a fic and it was like after EVERY TIME I click for the next chapter a full page ad would come up. I would tear my hair out. FF.net was the only reason I got the Adblock...oh and the annoying video ads that play with sound. But yea they don't need ads like that. I think they just left it like that from when they probably did need money.

Yea, I have Firefox and saw adblock plus. I have like 3 subscriptions (the bolded ones mostly) and it completely blocks the ads of FF. That way I don't have to keep pressing the one day thing. A good 30 more seconds of my life dedicated to reading instead of wasting time on ads.
