Giant Ad At Bottom Of Screen Covering Posts - About the Forums

I just logged on the web version of this site and there is a giant ad at the bottom just auto covering the bottom posts I'm trying to read and it's extremely annoying. Get it off my screen please!!! It's awful!

On tablet here, extremely annoying, and you don't get rid of it, pops up in different versions.

I'm sorry, but I can't visit 2+2 as it is now.

What he said

Please stop this dam thing from taking up the bottom of the screen. It is super aggravating.

It actually crashes every page every time when it finishes loading on my ipad using chrome. Impressive.

How could this happen if you did not actively authorize or implement it?

I'm also seeing this on both my iPad and desktop using Chrome and Safari.

Sometimes ad networks do things without consulting with all their clients first.

Yes, and/or it ends up working differently than expected on different devices/browsers. Not sure if that's what happened here or not.

Fix it, Bobo. My taxes pay your salary.

Or something like that.

Not seeing a thing. An actual positive for MS Edge?

Having designed many a website, it would be very weird if it wasn't the web designer that decided where the ads went.

But don’t all Australian web designers place their ads “down under”?

Never posted in about the forum

It's very annoying, even when you close it, a new one pops up on the next thread. Sometimes they even cycle images

this will almost certainly be gone by tuesday. it's something we are allowing to play out for a few days because we need to pay the bills now more than ever.
