New giant ads
« on: December 14, 2024, 05:44:23 AM »
Anyone else getting the new giant ads that cover the top half of screen on phones and can't be closed? The old pop ups at least had an X in the corner and although annoying, could be quickly dealt with. These new ones appeared a few days back and can't even be right clicked to report or close. Just select topic quickly before it opens.

Nothing on my phone, but I run several ad blockers at any given time. The site looks like it's stuck in 1995 tho.

Yea, popping up on my phone. I scroll to the bottom to recent posts and click that to make them go away. Since the “Show unread posts” button up top hasn’t worked in years.

79GoldTan,

Have you tried downloading Firefox? Several guys here say that was the remedy for them and for me as well...sorta. I did so on my home PC and nothing changed but it worked on my work computer, which is a Mac (don't know if that makes any difference).

Firefox was standard for me, it no longer let's me sign in. I had to switch to Chrome. The ads are just on phone version, with whatever phone uses.

I'll take a look at the google ads setting.  They change things without a lot of communication, so that option may have been adjusted.  I'll see if I can tone that down a bit.
