fringo Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'm getting all sorts of pop up ads at the bottom of my screen on my laptop for last few days. Advertising is just swamping the TAMB more and more and making it very hard to enjoy it after over 17 years on here. Almost unbearable now.

Is this still happening? We are working with the ad people to remove the ones that are causing issues. If anyone has issues can you possibly DM me screenshots with your device etc as it helps us recreate to remove anything that is too annoying. I might not always see these posts till a few days later, by which time usually it's fixed itself or moved on to next ad cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderark14 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Whether it's on desktop or tablet, this place is becoming unbearable with adverts. Adverts pop up in between threads and trying to post using a tablet is a bloody nightmare because of the adverts at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some adverts are an necessary evil unfortunately to keep the board running but we don't want them to make it unusable. We can't recreate the issues others are having so if we get as much info and screen prints we can then work on it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAMB1 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I'm trying to recreate some of the problems people are getting and struggling, some depend on what you have previously visited online. I get the Sky Witness one to come up but it's at the very bottom of the screen and doesn't block any content and is easily closed, Others may get a different version which is why screen prints are useful to try get to the bottom of any issues and help solve peoples problems. As others have stated ads are vital to the board to keep it running, costs are high and ads help cover some of this cost, although not all of the costs associated with the board. We want to have as little ads as possible and finding the balance between user experience and trying to cover costs is a very thin line unfortunately.

ger intae them Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 it's nothing to do with what the ad is (ie what you've "previously visited online"), it's to do with the screen space that they are given. to recreate, just get a tablet and try to reply to a post. its pish.
