Report Problems with Ads Here!

@Advally FYI

This was passed up the chain so hopefully we'll see this resolved soon. Meanwhile, your patience is appreciated

FYI, the Advally Ad Report Tool link does now seem to work, so please try again and advise whether or not it is still an issue for you.

Also, while I do see the drop down ads on Chrome, changing to using Brave browser or Firefox, I don't see any of the ads. So, while we're waiting for Advally to look into this, you might try that option if it is available to you.

I have been using Firefox and still receive the drop down ads.
 
Original thread that can be deleted if mods wish: What the heck is this now?

On iphone, this greyed out “box” has started popping up when I try to scroll down on any page:

I can click the “x” and it goes away, but comes back as soon as I open another page or “refresh” the same page.

If I scroll up to the top is disappears again, but returns as soon as I scroll down again.

Doesn’t do this if I use the laptop.

It literally just started doing this a minute or two ago so pretty sure nothing has changed on this end.

It’s most annoying to have it gobble up real estate on an already small screen…

You say this as though the ads are deliberately targeted at you, by the people who run this website.

Nothing could be further from the truth. It's a software issue run amok, nothing more, nothing less.

Patience IS a virtue, and would do well to be exercised while this issue is sorted, which I'm sure will be........ ;)

Nowhere in my comment did I even vaguely hint it was targeting at me! Just making a statement.
 
I had the ads for the past 2 days, as well as this morning. They seem to be gone, now. Android/Google Chrome user. Many thanks to the powers-that-be for clearing it up!

That's great to hear Matt, hopefully it'll be cleared up for everyone :thumbsup:
 
Perhaps a useful data point; I've been an un-subscribed member here for more than 2 years and I have yet to see any popups or other ads on this site.
I run win11 os, have Java shut off and use BRAVE for browser. Some years ago installed a comprehensive ad blocker freeware. I don't recall now.
Also have LifeLock and Norton watching my six. Not currently running a VPN, although Brave has a VPN feature and with TOR.

Brave piggybacks Chrome I believe. The only nasty messages I get on occasion, is some websites I try to visit will not allow my system to open the page because Java is disabled.
If I see that I dump. In addition, I have a paid pro account with CCleaner and as routine, run the cleaner and its driver/app updates before every shutdown and sometimes after visiting certain sites (Reuters, Wikipedia) and a restart to help with avoiding paywalls and annoying messages to donate.
Sometimes I have >6000 trackers accumulated after just a few hours of surfing. Brave touts they help avoid that but CCleaner obliterates nevertheless.

I have never once seen one of these dropdown panels. No matter which OS you use (MS Windows/ Apple/ Android) switch to Brave browser. Look at the responses I've quoted here. None of us saw any drop down because we are using Brave as our browser. Switch to Brave and be amazed.
 
Still being asked if I want to download something when using I pad. Less often, though.
