HMV ad still pulling me down. Although it is only on the 'Big Board' page, (i.e. the one that lists all the threads), there don't seem to be any ads on the thread page itself.

Really? I’m not sure how that’s possible as there are no ads on he bottom of the thread listing page any more.

New one for me... clicked Big Board at the bottom left and it went to eBay? Even as a web developer that one defies my belief.

Scrolling down on an iPad, I occasionally must hit something on the right hand side of the screen that switches to eBay and won’t switch back to NSC. I’ve not noticed what I’ve accidentally pressed yet but it’s bloody irritating.

I thought that was me just having fat finger syndrome, looks like it isn't as this has happened to me a few times.

This isn't one that screws up the display, but this is where the offending HMV one appeared:

I don't even see an ad for eBay so why it sent me there I have no idea.

Every time I click on the thread about the police at the Palace game I get redirected to imaginaryknuckledusters.com

Nor me, I’ve no idea what it is I’m clicking on that causes me to be packed off to the eBay site.

There are ads from eBay which are integrated into the site. It seems to cover the width of the The Big Board, so when you scroll past it on an iPad you may accidentally be pressing it or something. I don't have an iPad or tablet - the ads may display differently in those devices which may be to blame.

On my mobile, I do sometimes get directed to eBay after trying to click on the 'The Big Board' after going to northstandchat.com - I think it might be because the ad takes longer to load than the forum, so appears later. So if I try to click on the 'The Big Board' too quickly, by the time my finger reaches the screen, it's position has changed, and I end up accidentally clicking the ad. Possibly. I haven't been analysing it - I just click back and try accessing the The Big Board a second time, which works.

No it doesn't load after reading a thread, and then clicking on Big Board, there is lazy loading and to damned lazy to load until I can be bothered, and I only use NSC on my computer, with mouse, so I can quite safely say I click with precision.

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] - The eBay add had gone for a couple of days but now seems to have come back. Any chance of switching it off again?

I got dragged onto Ebay, but also had blaring music, which may affect those who view from work tomorrow.

Just loaded NSC and got taken straight to Ebay, no 'big board' displayed. Is that what others have had?
