R11CH Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Noticed while on the desktop computer that two adverts block the forum home screen meaning you can do next to nothing on the site ? Anyone with the problem or is it just my browser ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Can you post a screenshot? ad sizes are dynamic, so should 'fit'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R11CH Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Here you go It doesn't matter if i move the page up or down the ads stay in exactly the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcblow Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I am having this same problem, i have had to come on to your profile and find your posts to reply to it!!! i have tried downloading an ad blocker, this stops the adverts but then i can't click on anything, i am using Safari, the site never used to be like this, there is no way to close the bloody things down, if you click the X on advert it still keeps blocking the same space on the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam, I'm still getting them on the home screen, They are not forum advertisers, they are 3rd party adverts from "adchoices" , if i go into a forum they disappear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 adchoices is google basically. There are 2 on the homepage, but on my PC, they are the correct size. Can you try a different browser on the homepage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R11CH Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) I even get it on my phone all be it not as annoying but just stays like that at the bottom. Edited June 30, 2018 by R11CH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das_flo Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I just got this, absolutely infuriating you can't get to the log in screen, new content etc. I had to search for a topic from google and come on to the site that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 das, can you confirm what page? The forum ad's are off, and the stats show 0 views in the last week since I turned them off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlpearce Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Same issue for me, very annoying to have to navigate around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Si, can you look at the code and find the ad code and paste it here please? If the code doesn't match, it's not coming from the site... I get ad's as 'admin' so I can check they work or do stupid things like this, but I'm not getting ANY, let alone stupid ones like those. I've triple checked and they are disabled for everyone in the settings and there is no code for ad's in the source when I look.

Sam Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Even if I 'sign in as user' for all of you, no ads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I get them (if I disable ad block). Below is the 'inspect element' output, but that link (I search for 'double', '2m' etc.) wasn't found in the output of viewing the source. It looks like the adds are being overlaid from another source to me (I forgot to unpause adblock when uploading that photo - I'd forgotten how awful the internet is with ads!)

Sam Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Subscribers aren't even in the group for ads, even though they are disabled, so it's double bubble. Seems like someones hacked and added the code, but why don't I see them? I've done the same as you Joe, nothing dodgy in my source code. You can see from the tags at the bottom there are 2 HTML tags, which there should not be. Can you send me the code? The iframe had the account number in, might be able to get them to look into this! I'll work on replacing the source files, see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Just tried again to grab the code - no adverts present! (Full print screen included to show time/date, and the frozen AdBlock status...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I've just paused ad block on the domain though, if it happens again, I'll grab it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I have just run the 'support' script, may have tidied something up, says this: Sometimes badly cached data can cause problems. We have cleared all cached data, please check and see if your problem has been resolved. Can anyone else confirm? TriggerFish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam i can confirm things are back to normal for me, there are ad's at top and bottom of page now instead of covering the whole page What ever you did seems to have solved the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
