Ormond Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Am I the only user who has almost given up using the board completely due to various pop up adverts that freeze the screen totally? They seem to be either “Congratulations from Google” or “You have been selected by Amazon” crap that is preventing from reading the board. It’s taken umpteen attempts to even start this thread.

We'll look at the settings with out advert partners. I've not had anything similar. Anyone else had them so we can narrow it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderark14 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 same here, the board takes around 6 days to load up while the adverts pop up. Adverts appearing between posts are also annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jailender Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I don't seem to have this problem at all. I use desktops both at home and work, with different systems, and very few ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 It’s every single time I click on anything now. It’s become worse. Not sure if it’s maybe just through my iphone which is Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m using iphone just now with no issues. Will tie up with advert partners to double check things. If you are able to send any screen captures to team@tamb.nef it would be appreciated also.

Ormond Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 I see it’s not any better. Maybe why the volume of traffic is back to what the old board was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been passed to the technical folk from the ad provider. I’ll continue to investigate myself too. I’ve so far been unable to reproduce it happening on my phone or iPad.

DOUBLE A Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 For the last couple of days I’ve found that when opening a thread in Anything goes I get redirected to EBay, it isn’t the same thread each time and has happened about a dozen times, using a IPad, any ideas why ?

vanderark14 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Can’t be arsed with the board now, it was already dying on its arse. Having so many adverts and pop ups just makes it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
