Just clicked on this thread to view posts and the webpage switched to visitguernsey dot com.

So either Rob has updated the website or its been hacked.
Don't think it's hacking. More likely revenue raising.

I can see a Guernsey ad 'message' in this thread.

Ads are a dilemma. I don't see any here at all because I have Ad blocker Plus installed. But this is much more to make other really ad-heavy sites usable than to stop sites like this one earning some revenue. However, my ad blocker is on by default and I'm reluctant to disable it on individual sites (which is possible) unless I know that they adhere to an acceptable ads policy - see eg:

https://adblockplus.org/acceptable-ads

If the site owner were to make a statement that they (or their ad-feed network) are following such a policy then I'd gladly turn the blocker off here.

Likewise johnd adblocker + does a great job but I have no problem in supporting a sensibly run site that has some ads.

These are sponsored ads appearing in the middle of a topic as per picture. This is something you see randomly on various pages so not always the same. You see it on iPad / phone too.

I think Rob needs to advise as something has been changed website side.

OMG, just temporarily turned off adblocking and this place started to have interesting and non-repetetitive content. Maybe I'll leave it off ;-)
