Is that through the website or the App on your tablet?

I watch tv on desktop a lot. All the FTA channels dislike amusing anecdotes but dont have ads on them. Just turn off that page or site in the extensions menu and all good.

I have no idea.  I can watch 9 and 7 and the ABC but 10 complains I have an add blocker.  I've never set one up on the site on or the computer so I have no idea.  I can watch ten on my tablet and really don't want to mess with that.  I like NCIS but don't often get to watch it when it's run.

Is anyone else having trouble logging in from their phones?
I seem to be getting an error message (something like, only members with access can post Cry) and it happens at random-ish times, but more often early in the morning (after I feed up, during my 2nd coffee when I like to quickly check in with you lot Big smile)
But I'm always able to log in on my computer and never get the 'access denied' message.

I use iPhone and the error message happens in both Safari and Firefox.
And the computer is a Mac using Firefox.

Is it just me? And if so, any ideas how to fix me? TIA

Thanks, whale. 
I’m here on the couch using my phone now - logged in no problems. It does seem random.

21 July 2025: The recent problem has now been investigated, and it has been determined that our website is being scraped by AI bots at a rate of 10 to 20 requests per second. This is exhausting all the available connections to the website, resulting in a 503 error once the limit is reached. The hosting company has made some adjustments and it seems to be running at the moment but it's a concern that it's being hit by so many bots. Apologies, please let me know if there is any abnormal behaviour. 

Also, is anyone else experiencing jumpiness by the ads? I've told the ad provider it is unacceptable and needs to be fixed.

I see 1,1 as the most recent post on this thread.

I was 100% was expecting him to be asking for instructions on how to post a link…

But no, he’s moaning about things that affect no one…

Would anyone have an idea as to why my posts using “brave” instead of “safari” are formatting like they are?
