Title: Is scoop getting a makeover?
Post by: muwarrior69 on December 13, 2017, 04:55:05 PM
Where are the standings, SOTG, links, wiki and all? Just got a new Surfacebook 2. I thought using MS Edge might be the culprit, but their missing in Firefox and Safari on my Imac as well.

I've noticed that the GUI hasn't been refreshed in awhile and I'm starting to wonder what the hell I'm paying for

Look at the left side of the page.
There is a blue header bar... in the upper right of that bar there is a +.

Click the +
It should lower all the info you seek.

I think? If I'm wrong, then I'm sorry.

I wonder why I get a Planned Parenthood ad requesting donations on my Scoop Homepage.  Can this be changed?  Likely it is out of Scoop's control with the way the internet ads are placed, but ....yuck.

Go to Breibart and comment if you need to vent about politics. that’s probably google AdWords. If you google enough stuff on abortion then that’ll come up.

I can't see the song this year.  Hitting g the + sign doesn't do it.

If you get *any* ads when Logged In to MUScoop - you've installed something else that's displaying them - that's not us.  The site does show ads if you only visit as a guest and refuse to log in (helps pay the bills).

In addition, the ads are served by google based on your browsing history / preferences.  So...what you see is likely what YOU have been searching on!

And honestly, if you didn't know this you should do yourself a favor and try to understand Search Engine Optimization, Cookies, paid content/placement and how your click through history on a site are all used to customize what you are presented with.

For example, beejay gets ads for Grindr.

Thanks for the internet advice.  Actually I am an Ob/Gyn so that may be part of my Google ad history.  I don't perform abortions.  (I'm Catholic.)  I'll log on now when I get on to MUSCOOP.  Although I rarely post, I do enjoy reading the various viewpoints people with a much larger knowledge of the game place on this site.  And my son really likes his MUSCOOP t-shirt.  Cheers
