Sorry, but you aren't going to want to hear this..... IT AIN'T US!!!  It is Google.  ALL Advertising on Chordie has been Suspended for quite awhile now in a Policy to slam the door on Unsolicited Advertisers who were trying to insert Spam Links into our music index.  The Site had been up and down for a few months (in short intervals) to sift things out and once cleaned out, Admin curtailed advertising and disabled some rarely used features to prevent further incursion.

So, not being one of those sites that would just go off and not offer a remedy.  Let us know what browser and OS you are using, and we'll see if we can come up with a couple of little things to help end your frustration. 

Thanks;
Doug

Hi Doug

thank you for your answer. Ok. I use a tablet alot, (samsung tab 10.1) and I cant find where it tells me what the browser is cos settings for ie is not quite like a pc, but my guess is Google cos its my home page.. I am signed up for adware to stop the crap it generates cos I've looked at stuff on ebay or marks n sparkys!!!

I completely understand the reasons you have to protect the site but if we can find a way for me to get back on chordie I would be chuffed. Ali x

Would it be more useful if I start again with sign up on my current email address?

Most miffed. I do the usual when I fancy looking up an artist or song and instead of being able to refine things after picking a letter......  google drops an advert on top of the letter blocks choices.

Now.... There is the flashing X to tap to get rid, when instead the ad is replaced with a bunch of questions where I get asked if the ad is repetitive, annoying or not relevant. I tap annoying. And the box stays put with a thank you message. So I refresh the page, try again. This time I tap REPETITIVE. Same ta muchly to me message. The box stays put and I still cannot refine my search.

This is getting all encompassingly NOT Relevant, DEFINATELY Annoying and increasingly repetitive. I just want a bunch of chords and lyrics not a marketing exercise at 2am!

So...... I cant actually choose for e.g. WE - WI. I dunno if that option even exists because the box covers everything and does not disappear at all.

Ads, yeah I get it, but I'm in a portion of your site to search for chords or/and lyrics.  Not to have ALL my search options blotted out by an advert cos your cookies read my cookies.

Ad choices is rubbish. You should be able to stop the ads if seen them once, cos hey thats job done right???

If I wanted to search chordie for a handbag you and anyone else would think I'm losing it..... when I'm actually losing my right to use your site cos the ads swallow the right hand side, flash ads blocks across the page top and finally..... this daftness I cannot stop appearing but its stopping me searching what was once an amazing site.

Cant you sort this guys. Happens on tab, phone and laptop so it aint me?!?!?! x
