Bah! Now the "Get Impulse" ad is even more obtrusive! Put something else there, for the love of god. Only then will I respect the new design.

Also, Is there any way to go back to the old theme, I might be a minority, but I liked the old one better. This one is too....blue. :/

EDIT: ARG! The ad on the front page! It takes up half the news stories!!! Ill pay 40$ to get rid of that one damn ad for a year!

Are you people offering a "No ads" Package yet?!?!

It was supposed the subscriber package. I guess not, after all. I won't be renewing if ads aren't removed for subscribers :crazy:

Is it just me, or is the Neowin site/forums slower today? Its my internet, damn!

Is there a reason why the front page 'recent forum posts' don't auto cycle/refresh anymore? I really liked that :(

It was never supposed to be the regular subscriber package. The idea was put out for a higher-costing subscriber package that removed ads, and as far as I know that idea is still on the table, it just hasn't been worked out yet.

What I don't understand is why people complain about ads in the first place. If they weren't there, we wouldn't be here either. They're not hurting you by being there. All you have to do is ignore them, which is extremely easy if you ask me. It's not like we have sound-enabled ads or anything.

It's not like I'm a subscriber or anything, but if I was already giving money to Neowin, I'd personally be upset over ads being present.

Just my 2 cents, but the front page ad is ALOT more intrusive than the previous placement of banner ads. People used to say they hardly even noticed the old banners, where this one is actually taking attention away from the content, especially when the ads animated.

I don't mind using ads, but that one theres actually making me half tempted to block the ads simply due to the fact it's so annoying. By all means use ads, but be smart about their placement. The 2 articles wedged besides it are struggling to get past 5 words per a line too.

Its not nice seeing a blue box where an ad should be ;)

Not everyone has control over their web access. i can't even get onto half of google at school and not everyone likes big square flash ads in their articles.

justify the text and it'll look nice.

Justified text + all the logos being a certain fixed sized would be nice.

Also the fact that you can't even view any of the news article on the main page sucks, that was the point of why me and some others used to use the front page.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
