Have I got an I.T security issue?

Appreciate the advice, but it's not my device, it's the site.

As per link:
"You are seeing the “Google Membership Rewards” pop-ups because your device is infected with malware, malicious push notifications, or a site you have visited has redirected your browser."

Good to see this will hopefully be rectified soon.
 
It has been suggested plenty on here , but they dont want to do it apparently , or are ads paid per click?, i am ignorant to how it all works & why so many
 
You mean if they pay for a service you cant ban them?, surely there are breach of codes etc?......what sort of figure roughly ?

It would have to be paid. The level might be higher than you would be happy paying. But one of the real problems would be with the ability to block or ban posters.

Instinctively that seems something that is easily sorted with T's and C's, even that a subscription allows access to an advert free version but doesn't guarantee access to the service etc ... although I can perhaps understand that is a potential hassle you don't want or consider to be worth it.

What about an honesty box with a recommended amount ... (although perhaps average/expected revenue per user is again not something you would want to share ?).

There is a complexity of issues that did not exist 10 years ago with site users and responsibilities. I have a friend that changed to a subscription model at another club. He keeps his site at a smaller fan base where there is mutual trust. He also provides lots of content. I can do that but I don't think our fans now either want content and don't want a scaled down membership.

Why not ask them? You might be surprised. Then you can work out how much you would need to charge to compensate for your lost ad revenue. You would need to guess how many would subscribe, but I would imagine their are algorithms for that.
I suppose if you are getting a couple of thousand a month from ads you would need 200 paying £10 p.m. or 400 paying a fiver. That seems unlikely.
Realistically, looking at the regular posters, you might get 40 subscribers who would then have to pay £50 each.
Not a chance.
So it is understandable why the ads are the better way to keep the numbers up while giving you some income.

I'd be amazed if this site was generating a few thousand a month in ad revenue.
 
I think it was me that first alerted Rob to this problem on the post that was then mysteriously removed.
I was getting this problem on my Iphone (Safari) and only on this site, but no problems when using this site on my desktop (Edge).
Someone on here suggested using Brave instead of Safari on my Iphone. So now use Brave for FMTTM only and not had any problem since then.
No other problems when using Safari on my Iphone as long as its not this site.
