Addition of 5 popular songs popup (Page 1 of 2)

Good Morning Amy,  I bumped another thread a couple days ago about that problem because I also noticed it.

http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic. … 45#p158345

Just cropped up after the latest site re-work.

I have the problem on Chrome, running windows 8 on PC if that makes any difference.
Thanks,

Just my opinion, but I think they all make promises they fall short of keeping.

For instance, Firefox, my present browser, promises faster speed for gaming, but I haven't seen it and it sure pulls down the mbps's when I play Warcraft. It's like a 4 cylinder car trying to make its way up the Smoky Mountains.

When I get out of the game, it's a little faster, but not much. I have 4 Gb at the moment and have two more empty slots, so does anyone know if more RAM will increase my speed? Due to being on fixed incomes, I can't really justify buying a new machine, so "tweaking" is about where I am at the present time.

Thanks

Bill

Hi, I see this problem on my Mac running OS X 10.10.1, using either Safari (8.0.2) or Chrome (40.0.2214.91).  It's extremely frustrating!  Can you please roll back this change until this is resolved?

UPDATE: The problem only occurs in Safari when I have the Adblock Plus extension enabled, but it occurs in Chrome all the time, i.e. without that extension installed.

Thanks.

Hi there,Im on FIREFOX on my laptop ,,and Im getting the same.  Il try  EXPLORER just to confirm.  A GEAT SITE THOUGH

So far, from Doug's other post linked here it looks like some ad blocking browser extensions may be messing with the layout of the page, although EricSh is still having the issue in Chrome.  I'm curious if there's other ad blocking software installed on your computer that may be the culprit though (a lot of antivirus software also has ad blocking software built into it).  There are a TON of possible culprits. 

Pop-up ad blocking software shouldn't affect how you view the site, but additional ad blocking extensions or software might.  This site is built with tons of frames, and some of the frames include auto generated google ads at a certain width and height.  If the Google Ad's aren't displaying, then the frame the ad is supposed to be in may auto shrink, causing the rest of the page to not render correctly.  It sounds like this is what's happening.  We'll make certain Admin is aware of the issue.  There may be a way for him to set each frame to a certain width and height even if nothing is displayed within it.

The downside here, is if you aren't seeing ads, then you aren't clicking on them.  Chordie is a free website with no membership fees, so the small revenue from the ads is what helps to keep Chordie online (website hosting fees, bandwidth for our hundreds of thousands of members isn't free for the man behind the scenes).  So, of course you could try to make sure that you're not totally shutting off all ad displays to make sure you can see the site as it's intended to be viewed.  Now that we know what's likely causing the issue though, admin can take a look and see about a possible fix.

THANK YOU ALL for the detailed information provided.  If you can send a screenshot (the snipping tool in Windows is nice for this) of the issue to admin@chordie.com along with the browser version and any extensions, that would also go a long way to helping him configure things differently!

Amy

I agree with Amy, that the ad blocking is deleting the frame compressing the page causing the display overlap.

As an "aside", the other day my "IT Guy" was telling me about a different extension that I might check out..... (senior moment) for the life of me I don't recall what it was!  Anyway, it was intended to obscure your ad tracking trends..... not by blocking trackers, but by registering "click through" on EVERY ad on EVERY page you visit EVERY time you visit!  That would really drive the ad revenue up on a site you like to support!

I'll get the scoop and post it somewhere like Chat Corner so members who like can decide if it's viable as a way to help Chordie a few cents at a time.  Ad $$$ do contribute to keeping Chordie free.  Here it is:  https://dhowe.github.io/AdNauseam/

A Firefox extension that runs in concert with adblock (required), version for Chrome "coming soon".

I'm satisfied that I can see the page properly in Safari if I disable AdBlock Plus.  However, I'm seeing the ads in Chrome but the chords are _still_ being blocked.  I have a screenshot I'll send to admin@chordie.com.

Kaspersky does have ad blocking software built in, and it's not just blocking pop ups. 

"Blocked and Allowed URLs

If you find that Kaspersky is overzealous when blocking non-ad content or that you want to see some advertisements, you can add them to the whitelist or allowed URLs and still use Anti-Banner. You must check to enable this on the "Anti-Banner" settings screen of your program. You can then add URLs to banners or the websites that host them to the allowed list. Similarly, Kaspersky features a blocked or blacklist of websites. Kaspersky has already populated this list to include known ad websites; however, you can enable this tool and ad new websites, of which Kaspersky may not know, or specific banner URLs to the list."

You may want to look into setting Chordie's domain to the allowed list to ensure the ads are displayed and then the 5 songs module won't end up covering the chord diagrams.    I'm sure there's info available on Kaspersky's website or help dialog to do so.

YAY!  Yippie!  Yahoo!  Can I get a whoop whoop?

Thanks for the update on that Doug!  I try to keep my system as free from unnecessary extensions as possible.  It's good to know I'm not missing out on something that could be useful!
