Agree. Its ok on a laptop with popup blockers but an absolute nightmare on an iPhone. How much would this forum cost to host per year? Can't be more than 100 or so quid? If the admin can't afford to run it ad free i would happily make a donation if it means they get rid of these ridiculous ads.
As it stands it will be Museilak and Lawson respectively. Although the oddity is that there doesnt seem ro be room for Pickering at Sheffield so it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
It’s been declining for many years not just recent years. The fact the forum is a nightmare to use doesn’t help. Waiting five minutes to see if your post actually gets uploaded or not is enough for most not to bother.
