Ads? When did this start?

Lewis_Benson · 04-05-2023 07:47PM #1

Suddenly getting pop up ads on mobile every few times I am browsing to a new area of the site.

Anyone else getting this?

Yeah it’s fair annoying

Allinall · 04-05-2023 07:53PM

Think it’s as a result of this thread.

Same ad all the time for me. Change it up a little!

No, there shouldn't be any pop-up ads. There's been other reports in feedback of a few of these recently. Report them in the dodgy ads thread:

Mike has addressed this in the "Changes to advertising on the site" thread in Announcements, it's the result of a "fix" the ad company put in place to stop ads appearing directly under the Post Comment button.

He's also posted in the feedback thread to confirm that this is a screw up by the ads company.

Lads jaysus, ads for done deal all over the site today.

Taking up a third of the phone screen every time you change page. This site going to the dogs.

Bit of a death rattle feel about it tbh.

No sure what is worse the fact that the ad takes up so much of my screen or the fact I have no idea what it is even for.

Flinty997 · 15-05-2023 02:23AM

The site has become unusable on mobile for me. Between the ads, and all the stuff that's broken.

greasepalm · 15-05-2023 02:32AM

I use a laptop for viewing and see no adds but opera browser has its own ad blocker installed , i wonder why.

EmmetSpiceland · 15-05-2023 07:14AM

I’m not having any of these issues on the mobile site, is it only causing problems for android users?

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 15-05-2023 07:18AM

You can't even close the ad. It's permanently there on the bottom third of my screen so you can't avoid bit clicking into it.

GREAT JOB

The adds also lead to scammy website, this is not a good look for the site unless of course you are ok with this?

heffsarmy · 18-05-2023 10:49AM

To block the ads use https://nextdns.io/

Flinty997 · 18-05-2023 12:19PM

Thanks

My Ad Blocker app works as a remedy, but one has to be conscious to turn it off when trying to use APIs on websites, eg trying to pay something etc

JP Liz V1 · 20-05-2023 02:30AM

Very Very Annoying

Goldengirl · 20-05-2023 02:50AM

Yes. Very annoying .

I can't see to type a comment with ads popping up all over the place.

Have to go back and edit every single post .

Some guy holding a passport covering the page and when you reduce it covers the bottom half and you end up at the end of the thread having lost whatever you were reading or writing .

It's on my mobile ( android ) . Unusable at this stage

Just switched to desktop and withdrew consent for ads which will work until the next time I log in . Every time 🙄

It's tedious .

Why is this allowed ? The site is more useless now than it was after the initial changeover !
