Pop Up Adverts

Tom Hark Preston Park · Apr 18, 2016

Don't know what those shouty advertisers think it is they'll achieve with their over-large pop-ups, beyond making most of us reach for AdBlocker. For sure we'll all know their shouty advertiser names, but as a point of principle, I'd imagine most of us would look to buy any product other than theirs. Does anybody ever actually watch,say, a Go Compare advert beyond the first instant that the Welsh opera git appears on screen. Mute and look away now!

Just had a full page Audi ad that has sprung up twice on NSC. Is this supposed to happen [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]?

No, sorry. I'm a bit of an impasse with it at the moment. I need to get it myself so I can see where it's coming from.

Had that, and Subaru and Some old fella being pulled along in an armchair. Every time it happens the site is really slow afterwards.

Very annoying.

Sorry.

Don't apologise. Is there anything we can do to help when it happens? 'View Source' or some such?

Just had the same thing a couple of times too. Using Chrome at the minute, which is odd as I normally use MS Edge at home.

Ive had this ad as well, and a couple of other full screen videos

Don't be.

Buggered if I'd want the grief of running NSC.

Yes please - the code for each ad unit on screen at the time would help.

To explain, each ad unit can come from a few different places and it can vary page by page, user by user.

I believe I know who it is coming from, but they claim it's not. I've not been able to prove it yet as I've not had the ad since before the weekend.

How would we get this Bozza? Complete novice over here but keen to help if I can!

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]... I've just emailed the frame source and page source... got it twice in past hour.

Next time I see it, I'll inspect and get the details over to you.

In the meantime, thought you'd be interested to know (in terms of putting the culprit over some hot coals) that when I had one of these ads on my mobile over the weekend, I was forced to close out my browser session and restart from scratch. The ad couldn't be closed as every time I tried it triggered off the ad instead. Very dodgy stuff IMO.

Audi for me again

Goldstone1976 · Apr 18, 2016

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] - just had the Audi overlay. Sent you the source files for the overlay, top and bottom ads. Enjoy.

Hillian1 · Apr 18, 2016

Seems to be getting worse now.
Almost every time I open a thread I get the Audi one.

The Oldman · Apr 18, 2016

Every thread I open I get the Audi ad.

Jack Straw · Apr 18, 2016

Audi one and a pulled-pork one. Only on NSC, and that includes the bullet-proof work computer too.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
