How to remove ads and get full-text RSS on Blizzard Watch
Added 2017-06-02 15:37:04 +0000 UTCHi patrons!
If you're trying to get ads-free or full-text RSS, there's a code you enter on the supporter page at Blizzard Watch. Once you've plugged the code in there, you should be set. The code is:
welcome2blizzardwatch2
There are a few caveats this:
- It won't remove the curated Amazon block on the homepage (sorry, it's a technical hurdle), but you won't see ads based on your browsing history, just items we've picked out that we think you might like.
- It won't remove ads in the comments, which are unfortunately a part of Disqus.
- If you clear your browser cookies, you will have to re-enter the code to remove ads again.
I've also heard some people wondering about all of the "support us on Patreon!" reminders on posts. We do plan to remove these for patrons, but haven't rolled that out yet. And just like Blizzard, I don't have an ETA for you, but we're working to get it done soon.
Thanks so much for your support, everyone, and I hope you're enjoying the updated website. If you're having any problems you can comment here or email us at backers@blizzardwatch.com.

Hi, tried doing this on iOS - both phone and pad - and neither work. The menu option to 'supporter benefits' [via the about link] doesn't expand, it just default links through to the about page. All the other context menus work beautifully. Love what you've done with the site but it's unusable for me on my preferred platforms at the moment

2017-06-02 16:28:29 +0000 UTCThe Amazon block looks very much like a "Blizzardwatch Store" which looks fine to me and I didn't even notice the Patreon link. At some point, I'd like to see the white blocks were the ads were either be gray (like the background) or maybe at a future point hold artwork. All that whitespace just begging to display something artistic... ;-)
