TBN may be the center of our universe but not everybody is on here every day. :LOL: I do think we have the most comments about this situation though. Might break this thread off into a new one at this time.

At this point we're seeing a lot of the same opinions and articles being rehashed in this thread plus a lot of pretty far out there stuff and speculation. Let's try to limit the commentary to facts rather than pure speculation and hypothetical scenarios.

It's back now. We're upgrading the marketplace. First update today and then tomorrow more changes coming which will allow for easy searching of items based on type, make, location.

EA discontinued their paid ads already so there are no paid ads of theirs for us to disable. Right now we don't have the ability to do an interstitial or popup on a url but we can block it as we have done, for now.

In light of the information shared in this thread (and on the Google Business listing) as well as not receiving a reply from EA regarding their status since contacting them 48 hours ago, we are going to temporarily censor all outbound links to EA. There are many links all over our forums that...

A block of posts and replies were deleted and one message sent to all. No worries

The way I read it is that at time of payment it's okay to have a long delay if the customer agrees and understands. But if the delay goes beyond 30 days from the original shipment estimate they need the customer to reconfirm or must refund. But I'm not speaking as an authority, just pointing...

There are laws about this sort of thing. https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/selling-internet-prompt-delivery-rules

To add to the list, I just e-mailed Ted and another person at EA whom I most recently communicated with in December. Will let you know if (and what) I hear back.

Please keep the discussions related to EA, and refrain from contaminating each other's coffee if you know what I mean.

And ATI also advertises on TBN. :cool:

I reinstated that thread so you can check the history.

On yeah I just checked that one and it was removed. It had so much political content that I didn't want to spend time chopping it up. Doesn't really matter to me if it's still visible or not.

Sometimes. Front porch is set to scroll threads off after they are inactive for 30 days. They aren't technically deleted yet so could be found through search or on your post history.

Lots of the threads are just chatting.

From my perspective, the idea that we're just one ban away from community bliss might be a little too optimistic.

Speaking the truth. 🤣

Easiest way to never get banned right here.

Are you guys voting on banning me (the member responsible for closing multiple threads)? If so, what took you so long?

Too many bots.

We're aware of the issue and are working on resolving it.

What device are you using? I see that it's a phone but we can try to replicate.

It just means that if, for example the notification was triggered by a post at 12:00, and it's now 12:20, there may have been more posts between 12:00 and 12:20 in the same thread that didn't trigger another notification because there was already one notification pending.

After 14 years, EA discontinued their advertising here on TBN this month. While members are welcome to continue discussing the brand, the employees of EA will no longer be permitted to post links or use TBN to solicit sales in accordance with our forum guidelines. I'll leave this thread up...

No. We tried a truck forum but closed it years ago.

I have a couple of ridgid corded tools, no issues with those. I'm really only getting them because of the warranty and the deal was silly (impact driver plus drill for $77... $38.50 each)

"We want to apologize for the inconvenience that you are experiencing with your impact tools. I will be happy to assist you. We appreciate your loyalty towards our products, and we are sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced with our impact tools. We would like to thank you for your...

Over the past 7 years I've bought four Dewalt impact drivers and one impact drill. All but one of them has failed, plus one battery failure. I tried to submit a warranty claim online for the battery, but it was rejecting my information. Called them and just got an automated system that didn't...

What is your device type and browser?

Back on topic please.

Ideally we would have no ads. Logged in the ad load is much different than logged out. I use the same layout as everybody else and I agree, the ads when you are logged out is not a good experience for browsing multiple threads. But as soon as you log in everything changes.

We do have our ad partner looking into this issue.

I merged your accounts and changed your email address to the new email. If you have issues with the password reset, let us know and we can reset it for you manually.

Ads at the bottom of the page.

Show me a screenshot of what you're seeing on mobile. I'll post mine off what it's suppose to look like.

What does it say when you click on "more information"?

"He's always browsing that tractor site... all day every day... won't even come to dinner anymore"

Shouldn't be. I'll check settings and see what's going on. Screen shots help if you can post one when you see the ads.

I'll check into this. Will be a few days though.

Down. @Ibrahim

Lifted the ban, sorry about that.

Any more info? I can report it if I get more info.

Big THANK YOU to all 🇺🇸 veterans as we celebrate Veteran's Day weekend in the United States. If you or your loved ones are military veterans, please take a moment to share your stories in this thread. I'll start: One of my brother in laws is active duty USAF, another is NAVY, and my late...

Yes, most of the day. We're Back!

Oh hey a tractor post!

Any other volunteers? Getting a booth or sponsoring a show is something we've thought about. Running one is another idea but probably in the context of a big get-together...

So this is intermittent or can you replicate it on a specific thread? I just checked the warning signs thread on the app and had no issues. But I don't usually use the app...

Are you logged in on the app when trying?

No. Not anymore. Maybe we're more lenient, or not as vigilant in keeping up on the extremely long threads.

Please help out by reporting any political posts. We don't allow politics anywhere except private message conversations.

Congrats on your purchase! Be sure to post some photos of your new machine.

$78-$83

Looking great! Thanks for posting the photos.

Hope you get your issues resolved. If you want to provide more info you can send me a direct message another time.

I don't deny that some users have issues accessing our forum. I offer to help when the system configuration and browser info is posted so I can try to replicate the issue. That's standard practice in debugging. But when somebody just says it's our fault, doesn't provide basic information to help...

🤦‍♂️

Browser version and any plugins would be relevant as well. I'm familiar with the symptom of delayed typing in javascript text areas but haven't gotten reports of that on this site. Usually it's a conflict of some type on the browser level. Sometimes a setting. Compatibility issues can take a...

Number of complaints. 😅🤪 It would be a user selectable setting.

We might be able to assist with a different layout for those with slow connections.

Are you connecting through your home/wifi or cellular data? Using TBN on a 3g wireless or really slow home internet connection would be more likely to have some issues than a faster connection. Have you tried using a desktop or laptop instead of a tablet? I'm also wondering if maybe the...

I'm not the one barking.

Please provide your operating system version, device type, and browser version so we can attempt to replicate any issues. The more info you can provide the better we can help.

Please provide your operating system version, device type, and browser version so we can attempt to replicate any issues. The more info you can provide the better we can help.

If this was happening for many users we wouldn't be getting many posts but we would be getting emails and complaints from multiple users. So far you're the only one to report it. Try a couple different browsers and settings and see if anything changes.

Looks correct. I guess the adblock isn't working? 🥸

It's down for a couple of days for a fix.

I'm mainly curious about whether the ads are the issue you're experiencing or something else. The ad layout for members is limited compared to what guests see. There should never be any delays in page loading speeds unless something is wrong.

What device are you using? Can you post a screen shot of a typical page so I can see if the ads you're experiencing are correct?

Update: I've read that other forums have the same thing going on, intermittently, with YouTube embeds.

Drop a link to the post when you see it happen and I'll check each one out. I'm thinking it's a YouTube human verification thing but I've never seen that anywhere before so I'm curious to see if it's consistent.

That one in particular is an embedded YouTube video. That captcha might be from YouTube. I'm not getting it right now so I'm curious if others are seeing it and if it's just for videos or actual links.

We'll check into this on Thursday or Friday. Thanks for reporting it.

How about now?

Shouldn't be happening, will get it disabled.

I've heard that a few times in other threads. This thread was in one of our weekly trending topics newsletters. That often brings users in who aren't active daily or have been inactive for a while.

You can see the list of members who liked the post. Looks pretty normal to me.

We don't have quick access to that stat but I've never seen a post with 47 likes on here before. Since we only added the reactions about two years ago, users have been somewhat slow to adopt the feature (though number of likes per day has been gradually increasing). I will look into adding a...

I like this idea. 😁

This is so bizarre. There's no ad that should be doing that. Have you tried other browsers to see if it's isolated to one browser?

Is this fixed to the bottom of the page or is it in-between posts?

Thanks, looking into this...

We're not being paid for GWT to post and neither is GWT. Just sharing content. If you aren't interested, don't click. 🤷‍♂️

Must be a bug. Looking into it now.

That shouldn't be showing for members... I'm going to disable it since exactly zero members who run ad blockers opted in to see ads. :D

I have a 12.5 amp Bauer SDS MAX that I get a lot of use out of. It's lighter and more versatile than the bigger demo hammers but can still do most jobs. I paid about $180 but the new model is $360 which is more than I'd want to pay if I were to replace it.

Okay, will look into that now.

Should be gone now.

Working on it.

There should be no sticky ad like that for users that are logged in. Not sure why it's displaying but we'll get it sorted out soon.

Need those emojis in there. 🤪

Wrong.

That shouldn't be there. I'll try to replicate it so I can figure out what's triggering it.

Moved your post to the Summit Tractors forum since that's the brand sold at Runnings.

TYM used to be separate but traffic dropped after they stopped advertising and we moved it back. RK stopped advertising but we kept it separate So if there's no direct relationship, we look at the traffic periodically.

We actually shouldn't have any ads that show provocative imagery but they sneak in from time to time.

He isn't, but apparently TBN's advertising algorithm is. 😅

I don't think it's possible that it got added to your watch list without you adding it. 🤓

Hello TractorByNet members, I'm thrilled to announce a new addition to our community – Good Works Tractors! You might already know them from their popular YouTube channel, but if not, let me share a bit about what you can expect. Good Works Tractors is a US-based company and YouTube channel...

We can block those. I've never seen them but there are probably a million possible ads that could show at any given time.

I did quote your full response. Nowhere did I disagree with what you said. My comment was about the net decrease in available lift capacity. If somebody has a 120lb bucket and swaps it for a 255lb grapple, the net decrease in available lift capacity is 135lbs. "Lift capacity doesn't change"...

The topic of whether a grapple is worth its weight has been answered by the countless owners who swear by them. In my experience, it's one of the best investments for the all-around type of homeowner user. As for size and weight, every machine has its limitations, and safe operation would...

We increased size limit, you can try again.

Great info @Hardy Brothers Outdoors

Welcome to TBN!

I think everybody has put their .02 in so we're going to close this thread as it has so much political content at this point.

Those are ads but they aren't popups. I thought you were talking about popups.

I use the website. No ads popping up.

We'll check into this @Ibrahim

Our server changed. Delete cookies from this site and log in, should work.

https://www.bankrate.com/banking/cds/cd-rates/ There are a bunch over 5% for 12 months. I've seen 5 year CDs at 4.5%.

Under 40 hp tractor sales down 14% vs March 2023, all ag tractors down 12% and YTD down 15% according to AEM. $100k trucks? $8/lb for chicken? There are always ways to make more prudent financial choices. If you can't afford to keep up with inflation, you have to modify your habits. I can buy...

Current prices on the website are $2,549.99 for the 54" SSQA $2,599.00 for the 54" JDQA $2,949.99 for the 60" SSQA $3,049.00 for the 60" JDQA Free shipping

It was probably an automatic filter. There are thousands of spammers that try to get in every month... Also, member approval is on based on age of your account. That might have been a part of it. The Facebook member approval screen is also buggy. Sometimes it just gives us an error. These are...

If anything the idea is to phase out the Facebook ads entirely and then people can post directly.

Yeah the navigation needs work. Especially with multiple pages.

Right now, it's just by state. I tried to integrate the maps locator and it was causing some issues so just went with states. I guess selecting multiple states might be a short term fix.

The data has some issues with those wide ranges. Pretty easy fix. 😬 Thanks for the other suggestions. What I want to do is have the most popular brands easily selectable. Multiple brands in one search makes sense too.

A few years ago, we started a group on Facebook called Tractors & Equipment For Sale USA. It wasn't really meant to take on a life of its own, but without any real promotional effort on our part, today it has more than 50,000 members and gets about 3,000 new items listed every month. I believe...

Find a trucking company to do the hauling. Do all of the demo first (a couple days) so you will be ready to just load when your truck(s) arrive. You can call around to the local concrete recycling centers that will take the clean concrete and ask if they know any trucking companies that could...

Are we officially done with the solar farm discussion now? I think this thread will find its way into one of our newsletters so I'm hoping we can keep it open for everybody to participate. Running anybody down, however tempting that may be on the internet, isn't in the spirit of our forum. We...

It identifies as a farm. Sorry, couldn't resist. Don't ban me. 😁

In my opinion everybody should lay off the insults. Our server farm can't handle the stress.

A handful of posts have crossed over into political opinions. Please keep the politics out of this thread so we can keep it open.

Anybody else seeing this same type of screen?

There's always an opportunity to buy a tractor for $10k, use it for 5 years while you save up another 10k, sell the first one probably for $10k, and so on. Buyers always have the choice to find a solution that is a smart financial decision for them. If a buyer is sitting on a pile of cash and...

Buyers are rejecting the high prices as evidence by under-40hp tractor sales being down about 20% in 2023 last I checked. I am keeping an eye on the cost of automobiles as well and we saw a big drop in prices over the last few months of 2022. I'm in the boat of keeping my old car on the road...

And not many buyers showed up? Or those who did just didn't have the cash.

Any more thoughts on tractor prices? Going off track here...

We just had a long thread about moderation so I'm going to close this one as it's drifting off.

Is nobody going to bring up the 18x8.50-10NHS R14T front tires and the 880lb load rating on those? That gives you 1,760lbs so you'd be over the rating on the tires too... I also noted the mid-mount mower on the JD that ads a little weight, maybe 120lbs to the front.

Posts in the front porch are excluded from post totals.

Please keep your political opinions out of the thread, thanks.

Summit Tractors is an entirely different entity from Solis. Not a division of ITL/Solis but rather a U.S. based company with their own sales channels, service centers, support, etc. They chose ITL to supply the TX25H and they chose a U.S. based oem mfg to supply the Summit Tractors grapple...

Yes

They are just hitting the market over the past 90-120 days or so. Every week more retailers are getting the machines so over the next few months you'll be seeing more and more about them. I haven't seen any TBN members post about buying one yet but you're more than welcome to become the first. 😁...

Good find. I was looking at ope which has a lot of overlap with tractors... guess not enough.

Some useful public data on 1100 OPE dealers is published by Constellation here: OPE Market Data - Constellation Dealership Software This data shows sales flat with 2022, which I think indicates a good start to the year in light of when the down months happened in 2022. Keep an eye on this data...

In other news, tractor sales are up in the first two months of 2023. Didn't see if anybody posted that data... if not I'll summarize it. Edit: OPE sales broadly, not tractors.

I've heard good things

1. 2002 Ford Ranger 2. 2002 Ford Ranger 3. 2002 Ford Ranger

It's working exactly as it should. I've tested it on different browsers and platforms. Simply clicking back does not force a page to reload. If the page is not reloaded, the updates will not show. As I said, using the navigation links instead of clicking back will force that page to reload...

We didn't change anything with that feature.

This is the answer. Your browser is not reconnecting to our site when you just click back so the database is not being pinged to update the thread list and indicators regarding read vs unread. You can also click on today's posts in the top nav on desktop or the lightning bolt on mobile, to get...

Looking into a toggle...

Moderators are quick. :ROFLMAO:

Yeah we might just move that somewhere else. I'm not sure how many users actually use that feature (watched categories).

Try now.

This is a thread about grapples. Please take the off topic stuff to private messages. Thanks.

Working on it. Should be tonight.

Don't worry we'll bring them back soon. 🤣

I know what the issue is but I won't be at my computer to fix it for a few hours.

Also on a tablet?

Well that doesn't look right. I'll check into it later this morning.

Closed this thread since it's run its course.

I don't know about you guys, but I might be a bot..

This has been resolved.

Can you post a screen shot of what you're seeing? This shouldn't be happening.

Normally we would just leave the Branson forum as is and obviously all new units that are TYM would be discussed in the TYM forum. Where it's discussed comes down to the logo on the machine.

We're testing different ad layouts between now and the end of March. Most users are on mobile so that side banner doesn't show and 90% of mobile users have been seeing no ads at all. We're not going to overload the pages with ads but you can probably expect one at the top of the page, one...

Right now we have up to 3 ad spots per page for logged-in in users.

You're welcome! Please, everybody, keep your political opinions out of these types of threads so we can keep them open. Discussing the facts is fine but when we start to see words like liberal, left, right, politician names, etc, the topics veer off course.

Right now that's a $63k msrp.. 15% discount puts it at $53k. But ten years ago, less. Seller did okay too...

Yes

Nice find, nice buy. Seller took care of it, didn't use it much, and got a good residual value.

There were a bunch of pointless off topic threads. It should be working again now.

It's been this way for a year. But we can change it back now that politics are no longer allowed.

@Cahaba Valley Farm you posted: This will be removed 100/100 times. It's against our forum rules AND HAS BEEN FOR 25 YEARS. Here are the forum guidelines: https://tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/forum-guidelines.375499/

Yes, when viewing a thread click the search icon and select "this thread" and then enter the member(s) you want to see posts from.

I think you're on the right track with a 2305, or you can also look for a Kubota BX but you will need to up your budget to $20k to get a nice one with backhoe and mower. You  might find something with loader and backhoe for $15k but it won't have that new tractor smell. A subcompact is...

Good to hear. Thanks for the update!

We did nothing. The problem wasn't on our server. It was an issue with a third party dns/network service. It was affecting many sites, not just ours. It's fixed on my end as well.

Try editing it now.

Third party cookies have changed the internet a lot, for the worse. Maybe we will return to world without them, but who knows.

That's outside of what our standard networks would do as taking data out of a browser (stored) without consent violates data protection laws that the networks are otherwise bound by. So if you are able to prove this we can take it to a data protection agency. Personally I don't block any of our...

Well they are certainly not accessing our user database to get email addresses.

Maybe as young people mature into functioning adults, they will seek out the more technical information found on forums. My biggest concern is with what I call fluff content. That could be blogs, sites, or YouTube channels just filled with nonsense designed to get views to make money. When you...

Certainly could be part of it. Post reactions have been steadily climbing over the past two years since we added them.

These are the numbers since our current forum software switch almost two years ago. Posts are pretty flat, new threads down, user registrations up... At peak, I think in 2015, we had a couple months where we topped 50k posts vs about 25k per month average right now. Keep in mind that a LOT of...

When we upgraded our forum software, post volume went down 30% overnight. I guess some members couldn't adjust. Actually every forum software change has resulted in a drop.

No we don't sell or rent our list. They must have found you some other way. :devilish:

Yeah it's a bug. Should have it fixed soon.

We didn't change anything. The safari browser issue has led us to some possible culprits but no reasons yet.

Okay thanks, that's what I was hoping you'd say. Give us another day or so to work on this. In the mean time, if you use Chrome or FireFox on Mac and you shouldn't have any issues (I tested both on Mac and no issues).

I've been able to replicate this on safari on mac. Chrome and FF on mac are loading fine. @/pine Can you check this page and let us know if images are broken there too? My projects - farm repairs and minor fabrication

Hard refresh, restart, try different browsers. Provide a link to a few images that are not showing for you. Go directly to the URL of the broken image: https://tractorbynet.com/forums/data/avatars/m/0/4.jpg?1614405151 Do you see my youthful face when you click that link?

For those still having issues, which browser and operating system are you using? And which type of internet access do you use (cable, dsl, satellite?).

Put a dollar on that in Vegas...

I believe I said I will change it when I turn 40... in about six months!

Aware of the issue... on pacific time.

Discussing the tech and equipment is fine. Focusing on the policy is not. That's not what this forum is for. Please get back to discussing the equipment side of things so we can keep this thread open.

We'll keep it active until we can't any longer.

Recommend switching to just using our website through a mobile browser. IPhone app will eventually be discontinued since not that many people use it... about 60-70 per day.
