Adverts opening automatically

5 replies

I'm having an issue with some adverts opening automatically when I scroll past them. I am NOT clicking/tapping them, and it is always the same advert (for Virgin media I think, or maybe their internet. Definitely Virgin anyway). Is anyone else having this issue?

I'm also having an issue with "sponsored"/stickied threads opening automatically when I try to open a different thread. I think this one has to do with the time it takes for pages to load but it also happens occasionally when I've given the page an age to load. Is anyone else having this issue also?

Hi OP,

Are you able to grab us a screenshot of the advert, and let us know what device and browser you're using to access the site? Flowers

Using an Android device, on Chrome.

Hi OP

Does this happen on any other browser, and can we check your on mobile view? Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see.

You can see from my screenshot that I'm on mobile view. And I cannot get the same advert on another browser, but can confirm that this is still happening literally every single time I get the Virgin media advert it will automatically open as I scroll. This doesn't happen to any other adverts.

Hello,

This is an ad-choices advert - can you click the little blue triangle and hide it? Flowers
