NSFW ad

    Hawkers seem to be a sunglasses company. You can see the promotion on their UK site.

    I'd have assumed it was some sort of NSFW website as well.

    Hi there,

    This appears to be a Google ad and it looks like they're going for the risque angle (based on their website too) to sell sunglasses.

    If you hit the X on the ad, you can block the ad or you can click "Why This Ad" which presents you with links to report a bad website, or report a bad ad.

    Thanks for highlighting.

    If it appears again, could you provide us with the click through URL so that we can block it please?

    As an aside to this. On the touch site. The Google as comes down over the first half of the page. It's an absolute pain.

    Don’t ads appear based on your search history?

    Hi The Dazzler, that's not the touch site, that is the full site on a mobile screen. The ads seem to move to ensure they are seen now, I've asked about this before and there is nothing we can do at the moment unfortunately. It's best to use the touch.boards.ie on a mobile-sized screen.
