    The few times I got it I closed the tab right away to kill the sound so never got the chance to grab the URL.

    Probably nothing, but Chrome gave me a malware warning when opening page 1 of the YLYL thread in CVPL. Link here

    Just FYI there is a thread about this in Feedback, it should be sorted now though.

    Not sure if ads for gambling are considered in appropriate but this showed up in http://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057225437/1/#post90727700

    This appeared on the home page earlier. Appears to start downloading something when you click on it and it set off warnings on my phone

    I got the attached ad as the ad in the top of the menu under the top banner this evening.

    It looks like one of those spammy "you have won x" ads

    Is it legitimate?

    I'll move this into the Inappropriate Ads thread and the guys in the office can take a look in the morning.

    Apologies, didn't realise there was such a thread.

    Thanks.

    Why is the main page being vandalised by a large banner ad at the top. This is new. I have to scroll down now to see the list of threads. Will I have to turn ad-block on to get rid of this?

    The home page has always had a leaderboard ad there. If you are referring to the Sponsored Thread there at the moment, this is dismissable using the X in the top right hand corner of it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    There was a supermassive banner there yesterday, blocking the whole screen. Seems to have smaller now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,414 ✭✭✭Awkward Badger


    I dont know if this is an issue but its rather annoying. Its one of those dodgy looking shaking "you've won an iphone" type ones. Maybe its fine I dunno.

  • Registered Users Posts: 7,818 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    I came here to say I saw the same ad as Awkward Badger too.
    Wondered if that was normal.
    The ad was exactly the same ^^, the iPhone one.

    Edit: Called the poster Awkward Bugger instead of Badger. My mistake. I need new eyes.

    Thanks guys, just got the same ad myself - very disconcerting when it keeps repeating that you have mail. The traffic managers do read this thread, however I have emailed the details on as well, it should be removed shortly.

    I had a windows 8 computer but the hard drive crashed and I had to get a new one. HP never gave me a recovery disk. I only have a Windows XP disk. Microsoft allow a free download of the W8 iso with a product key with I believe can be found in the bios. However, you can only Download a 32 bit W8 from a 32 bit OS, which XP is. What I need help with is installing a 64 bit W8 with access only to a 32 bit PC. I am not looking to pirate it or pay for a new copy.

    <div style="font-style:italic">I had a windows 8 computer but the hard drive crashed and I had to get a new one. HP never gave me a recovery disk. I only have a Windows XP disk. Microsoft allow a free download of the W8 iso with a product key with I believe can be found in the bios. However, you can only Download a 32 bit W8 from a 32 bit OS, which XP is.

    </div>Recovery disks are not really standard issue any more with a new PC purchase. The Hard Drive has the recovery partition. This is for lots of reasons, not the least of which many new laptops dont even have optical drives, and using the recovery data built into the machine when you buy it you can create a recovery device onto a disc or to USB.<br />
    <br />
    Your XP disc is completely unnecessary and obsolete.<br />
    <br />
    The Installer is available here from MSFT: <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only&quot; target="_blank">http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/w...oduct-key-only</a&gt; but this won't work for OEM keys such as yours. Unfortunately without the recovery media, you will probably need to order new media from HP<br />
    <br />
    As for the casual reader: do you have recovery media created for your Windows 8 laptop? Press the Start/Windows Key and type "recoverydrive.exe" to begin the process now.

    </div>One (lazy!) way to do it :<br />
    <br />
    This is the 64bit Windows 7 :<br />
    <br />
    <a href="http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso&quot; target="_blank">http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso</a><br />
    <br />
    Install that on it - it won't need a product key<br />
    <br />
    It will run without any product key for a few weeks.<br />
    <br />
    then the Windows 8 installer will install 64bit Windows 8 for you

    It shows up rarely enough, just refresh the page when it appears.

    Can it be deleted? Don't want to leave my phone down without it locked for fear of mortification

    It will stop when you stop visiting sites related to the ads lmao

    It's Target marketing based on your location, sites visited lol

    The top banner is trying to display Square ads as well, so I see the top portion of a video ad. And yes, it's playing video ads. I moved to a different tab and I got a commercial blaring at me for an Apple Cider product.
