Report Problems with Ads Here!

[Beatnik]

I was just thinking about that TI chip !

 

[Mr Derph]

The bottom pop up is starting to get frustrating. Because both the upper banner add, and the bottom pop up add is wider than the ak forum is, its is a gigantic pita. And for you history fans...

 

[Mystic]

Yeah. These new left side and bottom popups on the front page are recent intrusions. I have ADP and Ghostery.

Sheesh that is an effin' mess.

 

[jeanmarie]

So how do I get rid of these pop up adds ? It is really spoiling the AK experience.

 

[jblnut]

Is anyone from AK going to respond to this ?

And I have never had even a single pop-up advertisement, etc., running FF on a Lenovo X220 w/ W7. No (advert) "banners" @ top or bottom screen either... ever.

With Add-On's I figure or some combination of native settings in FF

I don't get them except when I run FF in safe mode

Back when I ran/managed my own Win PCs, I used to edit the Host file to redirect doubleclick.net and most of the ad sites to a local IP -
so the ad links timed out right away, without the ads ...

Must be user error, right?

Oh yah forgot about that one.

I have a pretty intensive hosts file myself. I am blocking most M$ telemetry.

Attached (But don't use it folks unless you like things breaking and can deal with that)

But even at that. I run FF in safe mode and its showing these annoying AD's

The right AOs and native setttings do the trick @ FF, Epic, and those rare occasions I happen to ride into AK using TOR.

 

[buglegirl]

Like So:: (Safe Mode)

Vs (Add Ons Enabled)

User Interface Screw Up's Like This ARE NEVER User Error

Not sure, I have no need to get that deep in the weeds as some do. I just know the person doing the ads said that one is what should be happening. Still curious why some are having pop ups all over
