Using Boards.ie on Android Phone on Dublin Bus Wifi

    Little bug: When I use boards.ie on WiFi on Dublin Bus, I get an advert on the top for some seasonal ticket (only happens with boards.ie, no other websites). I can not scroll up or down or across to x it off. Help appreciated.

    PS site works fine with the missus's iPhone.

    Regards.

    Sounds incredibly specific, probably targeted advertising for Android devices on the Dublin Bus wifi.

    Did the web page look something similar to this but different ad and Google instead of boards?

    Dublin Bus inject iframe ads on their wifi on their busses and there's not much you can do about it.

    There's a little workaround I detailed here but it's not really a good solution.

    They only inject the iframe ads on web views through safari/android browser and web views in apps, if your app doesn't use web views they can't inject them in at an app level this should be happening on EVERY website and not just Boards.

    thanks guys, the advert seems to freeze up my screen and I can't scroll up or down at all with it. Thanks for your input guys.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
