Ads/general comment

[Huyton Layne]

Was browsing a forum belonging to another set of fans, let's call it RougeCoffeeShop.
The ads were huge and invasive and disrupted any flow when trying to read.
I understand ads are needed by forums and I'm thankful that you keep them to a reasonable size and shape and place them well within the forum.

Keep up the good work @GrandOldTeam

@GrandOldTeam

PMSL that they're coming up in this thread...anyhow, here's the other. Could swear there's one more actually, remember it being green.

Thanks pal.

So when you hover over the bits that say 'hover to expand', they expand? Rather than expanding automatically?

Will ban them specific adverts now, don't like the look of them.

They're only supposed to expand if you hover the cursor over them but many times (for some reason when they're towards the top of the page and you move the cursor over it from below the ad) they don't stop expanding, even when you move the cursor off it. But yeah, they should just go...annoying in the extreme.

I've blocked the playstation one



Struggled to find the Jag one, but banned them all



... It can take a day or so to kick in

@GrandOldTeam

Ok, they're attacking me now...WTF

I'll leave it at these and see what happens in a few days (gets better/worse)

There is a Turkey.Home one doing the same thing. You do have to pass the cursor over it, but doesn't seem to take much, and often because you are scrolling down posts, the ad reaches the cursor instead of other way round.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Don't mind if you hover your cursor over it (and it does a brief countdown to limit any cursor mistake) prior to expanding but if any are expanding without your prompt then please post screen shots so I can ban them.

Da frig?

Prefer Japanese girls tbh. Thai girls have harsher/stronger features and a 42% chance of having a dong

I don't want to come across as a moaner (even though I am, let's be honest) but the Sky 'Let's Ride' animated advert is driving me mad. Not only is it animated but it's also encouraging more people to cycle FFS! I was stuck behind a pack of 10 of the lycra bells the other day. Added another 10 minutes on to my journey.

If you were one of them, you wouldn't have been stuck behind them

Had a message saying Ad Blocker has been detected. I come on here on my phone and Ad Blocker isn't something I've consciously installed. Anyone know how to disable it?

I use the Google Chrome app to browse, if that's of any relevance?

@GrandOldTeam The damn thing's relentless, too...almost on every new page I open. There's defo an issue with these associated with their position on the screen when you move over them. Need to use Firefox and see if it happens in that.
