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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

I have noticed this annoying "feature" as well. :soapbox:

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

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.

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.

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,

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