I love this site and first found it in 2003(?) with a different username. Have gone gold!

Hi. Sorry to hijack thread. How can I donate without making a PayPal account. Happy with ads and try to buy via the website so its a way of giving a very little bit more. Any chance of getting Bristol ticket shop via efestivals too? (If it would make a couple of quid for you) 

Cheers

Dan

If you go to this page:-

http://www.efestivals.co.uk/shop/

there's a 'donate' graphic down the page, which should allow you to do it straight from your credit card.

The Gold membership works out as less than 5p per day for all the information, friendliness and fun (OK, sometimes downright silliness) you could wish for.    Bargain!  

Totally agree and have at last signed up! Please everyone else do the same

There's some nuisance ads causing issues like that that I've been flagging up with the ad-house since last Thursday, and while what you've experienced says there's still some around, in my own experience (I'm reading every thread) of the last few days the numbers of them are hugely reduced.... but I'll of course flag up this report with the ad-house, cos there's obviously more to be done.

If you do get this problem it's (in my experience) unlikely the page will load with a refresh, but it will load if you exit the page and trying going back into it.

I reckon you were mostly just unlucky with the problem you got over the weekend, as I've not hit a similar problem with the hundreds of pages I've open today.

I did get a lot of that problem last week, but i think it's about sorted.

seems to be working fine today , now I've followed the refresh page tip

After reading this will become a Gold member when I get in from work.

If someone said to you, "Here's a book with all the info you'll ever need about Glastonbury, past, present and future all provided by a bunch of sound people (generally) and it's only £18!" You'd think it was a bargain.

Took me a while to go gold but glad I did...

There’s been a surge in full screen “suggested links” popping up on my iPhone when browsing today. The usual “she couldn’t understand why they were laughing” guff.

I’m also pretty sure there are no lonely Asian women in my local area who look like that.

Oh no! I think I know the reason for this. I recall somebody mentioning it before (a few years ago) and Neil coming on here to explain why you would be getting those adverts.

Not necessarily - you'd have to ask him on that one. I believe that just going on a fairly ropey dating site will do the trick in getting these adverts sent to you. Or, at least, that used to be the case.

I believe this ad has been traced and blocked, but if you're still experiencing problems please let me know.

A new ads set-up went live yesterday, where one of the advantages is (supposedly) a better ability to trace and stop rogue ads, so fingers crossed it works as hoped.
