Tre annoying. When you click to close, the grey box stays there, which is a nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Not only is the advert in the middle three or four inches wide across the bottom of a laptop screen, but there appears to be a whole section of the page from side to side now unusable. There is a wee 'X' to close that doesn't work, and when multiquoting, the grey box saying "Quote 3 posts" or whatever is apparently behind some evil forcefield so it cannot be accessed. Thumbs (2) down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinho Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Incredibly intrusive ads covering the entire bottom portion of the screen every single time a new page loads. Can’t even click the X to close them because it’s behind the scroll bar. Really ruining the forum experience. And believe it or not, but there’s a ‘you have a new notification’ banner underneath the bottom ad on my mobile: Sort it out @Div eh?

EH75 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Swatch one this morning covering most of the screen with a picture of a watch, there is no x to close it, you can't click anything else on the screen and bizarrely you can't even click on the advert to go to the swatch website either! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busiest time of year unsurprisingly. Shouldn't be getting in the way of anything else, and there should be no pop-ups so if there are please let me know what the ad is and I will look into it. All the testing I've done on the new unit have been absolutely fine. What's the issue? Any chance of more of a response than this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I get that the website has to be funded somehow but it isn't a one way street. A website doesn't offer much if it doesn't have any users. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 The ad unit at the bottom of the page will probably be taken away in January. Sorry if it's caused a few issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then it pops up again if you go on to a different page. So very frequently on a site like this. Plus, on a mobile, it's quite difficult to aim correctly at the little cross without clicking on the ad itself, and then being redirected somewhere. It's not worth trying to click it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough mate. As I say, it's really just been a run for December for that Ad Unit as unsurprisingly it's the busiest time of the year for the ads. It will come off in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
