Edit: This was posted before the announcement, Ads, OGS & You, was made. Previously, becoming a site-supporter would remove adverts, from all pages, for yourself only. Now we hope that if enough people become site-supporters we can remove adverts, from all pages, for all users.
This will significantly improve the OGS experience for everyone and will simultaneously aid the site’s development long term. You can help in this effort by becoming a site-supporter for as little as $1 per month.
I have been asked in private messages how to disable the adverts on the game page. Some users are having trouble finding the settings so I thought I’d post instructions here:
1. Open the sidebar by clicking on the top-left icon
2. Scroll to the bottom and open up the settings
Note the Support OGS link, if you can afford to then all adverts may be removed by subscribing there. Otherwise, just open the settings.
3. Toggle the Show ads on game page setting
By default this option is enabled. Disable it to remove adverts on the game page.
Adverts will still show on the home page etc. To remove all adverts you must become a site-supporter.
Just to add this, but I think zen mode also disables ads. So if you are not already doing zen mode(you should, the temptation of analyze, estimate, and chat should be much more distracting then ads.) then that is an option.
