How to Turn Off Ads on the Smith & Wesson Forum

We work hard to keep the Smith & Wesson Forum running smoothly — and proudly serve as one of the largest and most active gun communities on the internet. Instead of relying heavily on ads, we depend on our members to help us keep the lights on. That’s why we offer all users the ability to turn off ads, and invite those who enjoy the forum to consider becoming a Supporting Member.

Optional: Become a Supporting Member

If you enjoy the forum and want to help support it, we invite you to become a Supporting Member. It helps cover our costs and keeps the site running smoothly.

Paid members also get some extras, like:

  • Hiding the sponsor ads
  • Hiding the sidebar (for a cleaner layout)

Step 3: Check Your Email Address

While you’re on your account settings, please take a moment to make sure your email address is up to date:
