Intrusive Ads

Heres' one of too many intrusive Ads which have taken up all of my phone screen.

I have never done yoga in my life and thanks to this ad, I never will.

I agree.

This BioGaia one pisses me off. It takes up 1/3 of my screen and, because it’s a video so moving, it distracts me from being able to read the threads!

I close it every time and report ‘not interested in this ad’ but it still keeps popping up and regularly causes everything to freeze/crash.

These ads are making this site pretty unusable.

Morning, everyone. Thanks for letting us know about these. We'll take a look now.

Hello again. We've checked in on these ads now. Both are looking as they should and you should be able to hit the cross the 'disappear' them or scroll past them.

@Irridescantshimmmer From your screengrab, it looks like you're quite zoomed in there, so if you zoom out, that should make it easier to scroll as it won't be filling your screen. Sorry - we know some people zoom in to make threads easier to read, but it's a workaround for when you see those wider ads.

Neither ad should be causing the site to crash but we'll look into this further. Can you send us the url to the threads you're seeing this on? It might be to do with the length of the thread itself rather than the ads but we'd like to have a look at that.

It does seem to be all sorted now, thank you.
