Using Time Machine on unsupported volumes
Authored by: redfood on Apr 17, '14 08:47:38AM

I can't believe Mac OS X Hints has stooped so low as to require readers to answer a marketing poll before viewing an article.

No wonder almost no one contributes to this site anymore.

Using Time Machine on unsupported volumes

Use adblockers & anti tracking extensions to skip this nonsence.

I know the site loses out if we block adverts, however I refuse to participate in lame surveys to see content.
Rethink the purpose of your site - ad revenue or useful Mac hints?
Do you have readers or 'streams of income'?

I guess we should expect nothing better from Macworld, I stopped reading your Macworld articles when you started autoplaying video adverts. Spamming MacKeeper adverts over your site helps Mac users install crapware.

Ads? Auto-playing videos? Mandatory Survey's? Evil Tracking Cookies? What is this junk of which you speak?

Oh wait, I installed the plugin from ghostery.com and POOF, no more garbage. I also installed a FlashBlocker so no more auto-playing video ads either.

I would not mind white-listing Macworld but seriously, the advertisements are horrible... I'll suspend the blocks now and then for awhile until I am reminded why enabled them in the first place.
