More pop up ads

[DGersic]

just started getting these.

 

[Steve from Socal]

I started seeing pop ups in the last couple hours? Main page several forums.

 

[The Cobbler]

I'm not seeing it, paging @Ryan

 

[MEDTECH]

None here, either.

 

[Cruzan80]

I have been seeing some video ads swoop in from the lower right edge. Not sure if Free Parking or all over (didn't pay attention to which section). Firefox mobile.

 

[XJSuperman]

I've got em too. Was just scanning for a thread like this. I'm sure the mods and/or the big boss are already on it.

 

[NUTTSGT]

Yep, been seeing them today.

 

[Snapped-off]

Atleast I can close this one. I had one in free parking the other day that took up half the screen and had no X to close. Had to close the page.

 

[2ndGearRubber]

Creeping in for me on android phone (Chrome?) and Firefox laptop.

 

[tarmy]

1/2 page today for me rendering the site useless. Couldn’t see much…logged out and came back later.

It’s all over for me. Seen on the main page, and in every sub-forum I visit.

 

[CSRPenFab]

Dammit! I wasn’t seeing them until I viewed this mother effing thread! Next thread I viewed had the damn pop ups and they’re everywhere now!

 

[Bearded_Dragon]

Run Brave browser with Adblock Plus (from Chrome Web Store) and you'll block 90% of ads online (including YouTube).

Brave on mobile devices blocks lots of ads too.

 

[Old Man Roger]

Just got one a minute ago. At least it allowed me to hit the X.

Ahh! As I was typing I got one..lol

 

[acer66]

Brave is great, I could not handle YT otherwise.

 

[RTM]

Chrome on Android getting nailed here, just after breakfast, was fine then.

Edit: also on iPad, also on chrome, in Vintage and General tool forums, but amazingly, not free parking

 

[four.cycle]

yeah... little animated ads popping in from lower right... in "general tool" forum.

 

[humber2]

Damn annoying downunder here, just where my thumb is scrolling the iPad.

 

[FrankLee]

Those ads are getting very annoying.

 

[PCustoms]

@The Cobbler found it.

Can this be moved to https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/forums/questions-suggestions.14/?

Flooded with ads this morning browsing new posts...

 

[Old tool guy]

This week i have started getting ads popping in from the side of the screen. What’s causing it? Anything i can do to stop it?

 

[autobon7]

Just started (for me) today. Damned ads sliding in from bottom right corner. When did this start?

 

[johninct]

I noticed then a couple of days ago. I hate it!!!!

 

[oldmxracer]

Started yesterday for Me.

 

[Old Man Roger]

Been on about 5 seconds and already got 2, one while viewing my list of watched threads, and then one when I clicked on this thread to report it.

Not happening on any of the other sites I frequent.

Yep, I'm going to move it in a few.

I wanted to wait to see if I saw them on my laptop as well or just phone.

I see them on both.

 

[Cc_windsurfer]

Just started getting new pop-ups here. I browse on a tablet and the pop up appears on the right side under where my thumb scrolls the screen. I am sure this is intentional because I results in inadvertent clicking of the ad it you are not paying attention.

Yes, I run a popup blocker, but it isn't stopping this.
I find it very annoying.. I quit visiting the last forum that implemented this type of ad.

 

[35k0]

Same, probably was a forum software update and there needs to be some box checked to not allow ads when logged in.

 

[Shiftless]

Ditto
Just started for me this morning.

 

[PCustoms]

More pop up ads

just started getting these.

[Steve W.]

I have noticed this annoying "feature" as well.

Thought it might have been my computer, but nothing has changed there.

.

 

[Shiftless]

Here’s what they look like. This from one minute ago.

 

[manwithtools]

Multiple threads on this today, I'm sure they are on it.

 

[The Cobbler]

made this thread a temporary sticky. please understand Ryan is working on this and will be resolved asap.

 

[BrandonV]

I recognize these ads!.

 

[Dragfluid]

When I started seeing these yesterday or the day before, I just figure they (ads coming in from the right) were part of the deal, like the other ads. I guess not then? They are damn annoying, especially when you're in the middle of writing a post and they pop over and cover up what you're trying to write. OK, glad the boss is working on it.
And since I've started seeing these, I no longer see any other ads on here.

 

[Jayman17]

Started for me today as well, no bueno.

 

[DGersic]

I see them on both.

When I started the thread, it was in questions/suggestions. Someone moved it to free parking. I dunno why.

Anyway, just started getting pop in videos again,

 

[tarmy]

They seem to be getting more often and more annoying. Used to only pop up a couple times per visit…now almost constant.

 

[Dragfluid]

Finally activated uBlock on this site and that took care of it. I didn't really want to, but it was getting too annoying.
