Intrusive Advertising


HTG

Question

Anyone else being hammered by adverts which are just impossible to clear?  I get the need to make a coin but some of the stuff that's happening now is way beyond acceptable. There's a "Facebook" pop which just won't move and I'm needing to revisit my privacy settings as a matter of course. Really, really frustrating.

The full page ads are definitely more than 2-3 a day, I am getting 12+ a day. I do understand that you need the ads to keep the site going, however it has been so frustrating over the past 3 months. Iphone. 


There are no ads on the App if you want to try that, or sign up to be a platinum member at 87p a month and you'll see no ads.

This Amazon Primeday advert is not good for my rage.

It's a short term campaign blitz, one day only. We have removed it from mobile though, it was a pain there, and we've made a fix to the desktop version so it no longer overlaps the forum.

Sorry!

And the ad which now appears between the first and second topic on every fucking sub forum is also a total pain in the arse. User experience on P and B isn't great now.

Is it me or are the ads getting worse again? Couldn't reply to a topic cos of a shitey Kia ad that every time I clicked 'Submit Reply' took me to their website. No sign of the 'discreet' X either. 

No! I think that are getting worse again. In addition to the Kia one I've got one for E5 which can appear time after time.

In addition to these uncloseable ads, now also getting on every page an error where the entire page reloads and then getting the message at the top like below. Now literally happening every single page I go onto, and I'm sure it's linked to the ads, because sometimes a full page ad will flash up all black before the error happens and the page reloads.IMG_2280.thumb.PNG.6f108a7fd272b4266180a314d492687c.PNG

Yes Div the NSFW type adds have stopped now which is good, but I'm now getting issues like the attached where a full page ad comes up and doesn't have an x to close it meaning I have to close the entire page and re-open a new tab very frequently.

Same.

I've made a change. Can you tell me if the problem persists please?

Really sorry about this!

This morning got a full page pop up about sexual violence (and child porn ffs) on the mobile site, tried to close it by clicking the x three times and each time it opened a webpage on it. Sitting in work repeatedly having pages about child porn popping up isn't great.

WTF?

I can't see anything like this at all on mobile. If that sort of stuff is coming up then it isn't coming from our advertising pool.
