We are fortunate to have many diyAudio members who have chosen to support the site financially through a yearly membership subscription.
Prior to the migration we allowed those members to turn ads on or turn ads off. Some have let us know that they'd be happy to keep ads on, in order to further support the site.
Due to some limitations in the new software we couldn't provide that functionality until now.
All paid members now have ads turned on by default, but will see a notice at the top of their screen directing them to their user options so they can turn them off if they prefer.
We trust that by giving our paid members the power to choose this is a beneficial move for our members as well as the health of the forum and its ability to remain independent.
Cheers 🙂

seems to be fixed now I think it was something to do with how my browser displays the check box. I clicked it a few times and it unchecked.

TMI: taking ads will toss a few more pennies into the forum budget, good. Also I just learned that PartsconnXion and PartseXpress are not the same store, I never noticed that. Yes, there may be less than a dozen DIY-Audio ad-buyers, and "La Lar - Tech deiven yoga clothes for everyone" is not my thing, but the ads are small (on 27" monitor). ("deiven"??)
If you can't/won't pay, or not enough to buy ad-free level, for whatever reason (poverty, poor monetary systems, idiot bankers), I have found that uBlock Origin will satisfactorily block ads on this and most websites. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

Hmm. I find the checkboxes in XF, or at least this style, to be annoyingly small. Eventually it will irk me enough and they will get updated one way or another.

I thought I was a paid member, but I didn’t see the way to turn off the ads, I hate ads with a passion and have deserted many a website on that basis….
AFAIK, the
I think https://www.diyaudio.com/community/members/helpdesk.138556/ Helpdesk is a contact who can check your status.
@Bigun for some reason your membership end date was Jan 6th, I have fixed this for you and you now have a yearly membership. It may be due to the poor wording on the donation page that there was some confusion between a one-off donation and a yearly paid membership.

The ad thing is great but non essential. When is "enhanced thread printing" going to work again?
If you mean "long thread all on one page with images", that works now, almost. Here's 122 posts on 34 pages 'printed' to PDF. Images which were originally Attached are only noted, not displayed; in-line images do display.
