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.

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.

Oh I remember the days of paid accounts and no ads at all. Oh how I miss those days. I didn't even mind the 3 day time out from the ads so much. But I agree with you hanfatolfethe one day time out is silly. It's not like it does any good.

I will say, I'm glad you mentioned AdBlock Plus however. I wasn't aware it would block them.

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.
