Thank You, Gardenweb for Making the Site Mobile-User Friendly

User

The ubiquitous, obtrusive ad that was plaguing users on mobile devices is no longer popping up! GW moderator Tamara emailed me yesterday and today with specific questions about the ad's behavior and my iPad settings and it is now GONE!

Thank you, Gardenweb, for your quick response to user problems and for a very happy resolution of the problem. It's nice to know that the site owners actually care about our site experience.

    I didn't have the problem, but I appreciate the fact that GW responded and resolved it. I've never seen that on a Web site. Too often, a site's visitors are taken for granted and pleas are ignored.

    Kswl...Thank you for posting about it! Very annoying ad and glad it's gone, but even more happy that GW listens to its users!

    Oh and can you please fix the typo in deasse? I think someone meant declasse. (accent aigu)

    Lol, mtn it used to be spelled correctly, Then about a year ago it appeared as its current malapropism... Please don't ask them to change it, I get tickled every time I see it!

    OH Thank you! It kept jamming up my kindle. I could sometimes find the X to kill it, but it was annoying.

    Add my thanks to both GW/Tamara and Kswl. I always used my ipad because I didn't get pop up ads and pages loaded faster so I really wondered what was going on with that Moen ad. Until Kswl complained I assumed it was because I had done some searches for Moen faucets. It was very annoying the way it took over the page and wouldn't let you easily close the ad.
    It was so nice to find it gone today.
    Thanks again.

    Yay! I no longer have to reload over and over on my iPad. Thank you! I was getting very tired of reloading over and over again in hopes of seeing a Bounty ad :/

    Tamara, Thanks for fixing the typo.

    KSWL, sorry!

    Thanks, Kswl and Tamara.

    While we're at it, what say we vote on a new quote to replace Magnaverde's? While solid words of wisdom, I do believe they've served their time.

    Given the regular discussions about trends, "what's new," layered vs minimal, and so on, perhaps this one is appropriate:

    I have to admit that I will also miss the deasse.

    I've e-mailed Tamara on a couple of things and when they were changing the format of GW a couple of years ago had a suggestion. Tamara et al are always so pleasantly quick to respond. It is definitely appreciated.
