Sponsored ads bringing me to their page - extremely annoying

Meeeee79

So your current sponosred ad on your homepage is for currys. If my mouse hovers over this ad for longer than 5 seconds while I am reading through thread topics my page redirects tot his currys ad. I did not click on it or request to go to it. After it redirects me to the ad I go back to boards and on this example got redirected tot he ad again 4 times even if I didn't hover over the ad. Fair enough having sponsored content on your page but forcing a user to view an ad over and over again through no choice of their own is taking it a bit far no matter how much you are getting paid for the ad.:mad::mad::mad:

I haven't seen this myself (this is why I ask for screenshots), but asking the Sales team to look into it now.

Thanks, very annoying and has happened countless times today even if I dont hover anywhere near the ad. Its only the currys one, none of the other ads seem to do it.

URL should be blocked now, so hopefully won't cause any more issues. Thanks!
