Report Problems with Ads Here!

I'm not as young as I used to be but reflexes are still good. Ads load so slow I end up clicking on sections I don't intend to on my mobile device. Page shifts a lot as ad banners load. If you dont wait 10 seconds or more you're misdirected. Oh, 21st century problems and annoyances!

Hi Bill

You are more than welcome to send us screenshots over of the ads you see and be happy to attend to it. Have a great evening. Lindi

Hi Bill

I wanted to give a quick update. The ad will not appear as frequently as before; we adjusted the ad to display once per user every 24 hours. Let me know if any more issues are moving forward.

Have a great evening.

Don't mind the banner ads in general but they get annoying when they cover up/overide text I want to read.
Example: Thread title shows "Scott 340b" and the rest of it gets washed out.

There's supposed to be an 'X' in the upper right corner. It's not showing in your screen cap.

Yesterday I got an ad that covered the 'entire' screen, it had the X so I clicked it away and the rest of my stay was fine.

There is no X to click on with one I pictured. Same today.
 
I'm getting the pop-over full page Verizon and Google ads, seems I'm a big winner...

2 while writing this post.

Is it me? It's only happening on here.

FWIW. Ever since I went to MS`s EDGE browser last summer, and open A/K in EDGE`s InPrivate Browser option "aggressively configured" for zero third party cookies.
I haven`t seen one single ad anywhere at any time, and not using any outside ad block software, and I find that`s perfect for me, or I would have to bail on this site, as I refuse to suffer the clutter of advertisements, especially products/services that have zero interest to me now or in the future.

Just a thought, loudnoises, and good luck, Sir.

These aren't ads per say, these are spam/scams telling you you're the winner, click here. I only notice while using my phone, not PC. While you can probably configure your phone differently for this site, you shouldn't have to if the site is properly configured. I have no problems using my phone on any other site.

Yes on just my phone too.

On my lap top I can lock it down better.
 
Seems to be a problem on iPhone only. Verizon pop up with no "x" that I've seen. Did a full latest software security update as well as cleaning all cookies, cache, history, etc.
Using Google from the Safari app. I wish I knew the extension to debug

No smart phone (AKA personal tracking/data mining device, etc.) ever here :no:, so am unable to help ! :dunno:

:hug:
 
My Android phone was getting the popups yesterday. I have been on 10 minutes today and so far no pop-ups. The only change to my setup was that i recently updated to Android 11. Popup blocker is still on. Only site i have had problems with is AK.
 
Never mind got the pop ups. I suggest that people are having this issue delete cookies for AK.
This may be more of an issue for @Wardsweb or whoever is in charge of stopping malware. Not an ad

Wil check in at a later date to see if repaired.
 
I am getting the scam redirects too, here are a few screenshots:

I will try clearing all cookies and report back with results. AK is the only site I have had an issue. Using Chrome on a Google Pixel 2 fully updated.
