We're in the process of migrating to a new ad partner.

Please bear with, it'll take me a little while to fine tune placements/user permissions to get the ads as you expect/become used to.

[Update] After a 2 week trial, we binned the new ad partner and went back to the one we've used for 6 years. There has been no changes.

Thanks

As in the same issues mentioned by @chrismpw and @Number_25 above.

I'd say it's only been noticeable to myself the past month or so.

Those posts are from August.

We're on the same ad network with no changes to ad units.

The only thing that does sometimes change, is occasionally a rogue ad slips in that is animated/makes noise/rolls out and we flag and it's removed.

But "Some of these ad issues have gone ridiculous as of late" - there's been no changes so thats what I was trying to understand. What has gone ridiculous as of late?

This is browsing the forum with the maximum number of ads - someone not logged in/guest.



And this is browsing the forum with a sub;

If you told me specifically the issue I'd have a look mate. But as nothing has changed I can't begin to work out.

My guess is you have a blocker of sorts on your device with our scripts, and it's rendering pages incorrectly.

But them videos show how the site should perform.

Got an absolutely ridiculous ad for a discovery card. Made the whole web page flash orange on the edges and any add at the bottom extended up. It's quite possibly the most intrusive ad I've ever seen on here in my entire time.

@GrandOldTeam This is the offending bast*** right here...twice in a row just now. Kill it with napalm; horrible ad.

Tracker has you as having had adblock on. If detected, it stays that way for 15-30 minutes.

Sometimes people don't know something on their browser/device is blocking scripts/ads.
