sambowhite2 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Honestly, had enough of them keep popping up at the bottom. The site never used to be like this until a few weeks ago. I understand the website needs to advertise and such but the way they come up are far too intrusive, and usually make you click on them by accident. Just ridiculous...

Cold Fusion Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I just have advertising in the top of my screen, and it's usualy game related. maybe an add blocker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatting Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Instead of the aggressive title maybe either add ad-block if your on PC, or try to capture the link of the advert + screenshot so that Vy can kill it. It's the only thing you can do. Or become a subscriber to remove them completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeirou Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 If you provide a screenshot of the ad and the link that it takes you to then you can report it to Vyrastas and have it removed from the site. This only works on drop down ads or pop-ups that stop you from browsing the site normally. If you just hate ads in general than I suggest subscribing to the using the PayPal button. One of the benefits is that the site will be 100% ad free for as long as you're subbed.

Akumatron Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I get a lot of ads at the bottom of the screen....and a couple of weeks ago it kept auto-playing audio from the ads at the top...whatever one was there (mainly FIFA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't start happening until a few weeks back. The thing that makes it aggravating is that it's a banner ad, which pops up over the bottom of the website. It always appears when I'm trying to scroll to the next page on topics, usually tricking me into clicking it .

SongsOnRepeat Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Provide and screenshot and the URL of the page it links you to and it can be removed from the site. Alright, next time it happens I'll post it here. Edit: As Combatting suggested, I'll PM it to Vyrastas instead.

SmilerNuts Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 He's got a point though; the ads in general have been far more intrusive recently than normal, which doesn't make for a great browsing experience. It's not just about one particular ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quopi Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The only issue I have with ads on the site is normally when I first get on the main page there's a huge ad that pops up on the screen and completely limits my ability to click to go to the forums or search for something or even sign in to my account worst part is that there isn't a "X" to exit it and it's so annoying, but it only happens on the main page. Other than that ads are pretty toned down, all I can say to you man is to get an Ad block and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zongorillacska Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 On PC it's not a problem with adblock; however, whenever I browse on iPad... absolute cancer. That stupid bottom ad, if you scroll down quickly it'll jump higher and higher and you will just open it accidentally and these craps always freeze/slow you down/spam you with stupid pop up windows. It's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowAFC Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 People posting about using adblock over and over also doesn't solve the issue on the site-wide end. It's far past being a broken record now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^ If people really want to help us get rid of any obtrusive adverts, then do as Aeirou says and either provide with some actionable details so they can be removed or pay a small amount to become a Subscriber.

MickeyMix Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) That's nothing, try this ad on for size.. This link appeared when i clicked - http://www.marksandspencer.com/l/women/cashmereextid=me_m_51824_9208_50126 I'd PM it to Vy but i highly doubt he would see it Edited October 30, 2015 by MickeyMix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyrastas Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Regarding the floating ads on a mobile device, those aren't going anywhere. That's just where they appear on mobile. The only ones I can get removed are the giant rollover ones that get in the way. Give me the URL to the ad image itself (not where the ad takes you when you click it) and I can ask Webb to remove it. That's all I can do. That's nothing, try this ad on for size.. This link appeared when i clicked - Page Not Found Error I'd PM it to Vy but i highly doubt he would see it I need the link for the ad image, not where it takes you. And I read all my PMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I turn off the Javascript which makes the advertisements not to be shown at all and allow me to even make a post. (I can't make a post on my device unless I turn off the Javascript). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
