The Ad Reporting Thread
- Thread starter Cerium
- Start date
Are you referring to both the permanent footer ad as well as the video ad or just to the video ad? Because the videos are gone, but the footer ads still pop up on every refresh just the same.
Instead of us telling you what we have, can you tell us what we're SUPPOSED to be seeing, and whether or not there's anything WE can do (Clear?) to manage?
Came here specifically to complain about the bottom bar ads on Android, Chrome. Fucking terrible and makes the site feel bad to use, I've opened the site and immediately closed out and moved on to something else multiple times over the past few days because of it. I would straight up rather abandon this site than deal with that experience.
Had an issue yesterday where I could not use my phone to access here as I was redirected to an obvious phishing site with an "Amazon" winning prize page.
Thought it was my phone at first but when it passed I saw the new ad system... It is quite intrusive vs what we are used to

I had this but because I had not hit "accept" on some authorization somewhere it would just pop up with a message saying I need to accept cookies.
Was coming here to report it/see if others had seen it and I haven't seen it today yet.
Chrome on Android and I'm also still seeing the fixed footer ad. Always takes a bout a second to pop up and then appears just about every single page load. When the ad finishes, usually another one will load and they can be even taller. Currently seeing one for Dairy Farmers of America. As for my desktop, still not having any problems. Only seeing it on mobile.
Already reached out about the footer, going to see what we can do.
As for any redirect ads, please use the form in the OP when reporting them as it will give us more information to work with when trying to chase them down.

Yeah sometimes it expands and takes up a quarter of the screen for me.
This and the sticky banner ad at the bottom should be getting addressed soon.Browser: Chrome 120.0.6099.211

Chrome, android. Footer ads are steering me away from the site, borderline unusable with them there
PC: Windows 11
Browser: Edge
Bottom banner. No redirects for me, but it pops up in every thread. I did click on it once by mistake, otherwise it is just blindingly bright when in dark mode and browsing at night lol.

Same bottom banner ad.
Is this intended? I know Era is owned by Moba Network now and I checked the other sites owned by them and they all have that banner. Is this a permanent thing going forward?

The new ads are absolutely horrendous on android.
Every single time I load a page I have to manually minimise the ad as it takes up far too much screen space and even after minimising it you still have a white strip at the bottom and a big button to maximise it again.
It is seriously off-putting and is making it a very frustrating experience to browse the site now.

For me sometimes it's a white overlay bar, sometimes the bar has an ad. But it appears every single page.
Yeh got no interest coming on here if this is a permanent thing. Ridiculous. Prefer a full screen minute long ad to this garbage
Same I will absolutely ditch this forum if this is the way forward. Can't even x out of the sticky footer now, just minimize so it comes back every page jump. Just infuriating
I let ads display bc I understand owning sites is not free. However, I also expect proper ad placement that prioritizes the site's content and experience.
Currently the ads combined with the headers and nav elements make it so I can't see any meaningful content on load while on mobile (just a portion of a the top thread's title). This is a bad UX and I would venture to say that it will negatively impact your page views, ironically one of the important metrics when it comes to ad revenue.
B-Dubs appreciate the updates though, I also understand dealing with vendors can be complicated and annoying.

People really threatening to bail on the forum over this? I mean it is annoying as shit, but bail on everything else we get from this community seems a bit overboard (My opinion of course lol).
I see they are working on a fix, but if it stays, maybe it could be a dedicated bottom banner vs an overlay, THAT is the annoying part for me.

I still have them on iOS Safari, unfortunately.
What kind of more reporting is useful?
Oh really , I'm using iOS Safari. I've refreshed the page several times over the hour and no banner ads at the bottom.
