Report Problems with Ads Here!

[Dan13105]

Normally ads on any site don't bother me, gotta pay the bills and all. But his JBL ad is more persistent and annoying than any ad I've dealt with recently. It sometimes blocks content completely. Pretty much every page it's there. It was prevalent, but seemed to go away. Now it is back more than before. Here the JBL ad is completely covering post #369, making it impossible to read. No amount of scrolling up or down seemed to reveal the post trapped behind the ad. Also had the one on the bottom of the screen with the speakers going down the side appear at the same time.

I actually couldn't even make it through typing this post without it. Here it is appearing while I'm making this post.

Edit: the ad is so prevalent, the ad is now appearing on top of the same ad

Chrome has as option to block intrusive adds on mobile. Hit the 3 buttons on top right go to settings -site settings - intrusive ads- then choose block. I haven't seen a JBL ad yet.

While in there you should also block third party cookies

Aggressive advertisement software slipping in ?
Welcome to in your face ever increasing obnoxious advertisements, it is truly the wave of the future, across all forms of media !!

Better thee, than me, as my browser privacy blocking settings are so maxed out intense with no loss in site(s) functionality, that none of this crap will get through, and when finally it does, I`ll become Casper the ghost-- I`ll be gone for good, as I have zero effing tolerance for any and all of it !

Enjoy folks, you all slowly let it ever increasingly into it`s ingress into your lives for well over 20 yrs. without protesting often and loudly enough, while their making billions off of you without lining your pockets from any their massive proceeds !

@Advally , I mostly use an Android cellphone for AK, and while I have not yet seen the JBL ad that is causing troubles for others, if I do not sign in immediately, in very short order my screen gets nearly covered with ads to the point I can't get to the log in button. Is this by design? I do not have this problem on my desktop, but I have adblocker on that.

I never see any of it, always have used AdBlock. But I did report a couple spam ads recently, looks like someone is taking over accounts.

Sweeps in fom the sides, and then forms on the bottom..

This is on my Galaxy S20 Ultra.. Chrome browser.
My Galaxy tab doesn't show them..
Popup settings are the same on both..
Irritating but not life changing.. just sharing..

Look for and trying to crank up your 3rd party blocking privacy browser settings, as it works on my laptop !
I see zero ads of all types using my MS EDGE`s privacy settings maxed out, and running it configured in the InPrivate mode.

If this didn`t work without ads of any kind showing themselves, as I wouldn`t be here on this or any other site suffering totally uninterested in and distracting marketing crap !
Good luck, adnick.

Must be a receive recent change of some sort because it just started playing music today….

Don`t know, as I never experience (see or hear) any of them period!

If you see something, could you report it here with the following info:

-Operating System You're using
-Device type
-Browser
-Screen Capture (if able)

That will do a great deal to help figure out what is going on.

Help at @Advally by providing the above mentioned info

Annoying golf ads, and they hang.. android, under chrome.

 

[elvi]

The Green golf ads block the ability to navigate. I can't select a top or bottom hot link.
@Advally I don't think this is anything a HK user will tolerate.

This is not a low rate click bait boob site.

I'm assuming you rechecked your current Android/Chrome settings to make sure this isn't an end user issue before posting?

Try below if you haven't

It seems a lot of folks having sporadic issues are the ones ones using Chrome browsers with Android devices such as Galaxy phones/tablets
