pozbaird Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Most of the time I skim the forum via an iPod using the mobile version. Just returned from holiday and the forum now has annoying adverts for 'bing' or the BBC World Cup games in the bottom of the screen. When scrolling down topics, these adverts scroll down with you. Pain in the tits. Any way to turn them off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSS Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I've hardly been in the last couple of days as those ads are doing my tits in. Get them tae....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorizaar Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Also getting an ad for a film filling the entire screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Over half the traffic to the site comes from mobile now so I'm testing out some advertising on it to see how it goes. Feedback is very welcome. There are no ads on the App if you want to use that meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Don't mind them as long as they are fixed at the top or bottom of then screen.There's one annoying one which pops out and you can't seem to get rid of it unless you close your browser. I much refer the mobile or desktop layout to the app. Edited June 18, 2014 by davidg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintnextlifetime Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I get sudden advertising/BBC audio on the non-mobile version for no apparent reason . . I had to use Malwarebytes to get rid. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Over half the traffic to the site comes from mobile now so I'm testing out some advertising on it to see how it goes. Feedback is very welcome. There are no ads on the App if you want to use that meantime. My feedback Div is that far from wanting to check out the offerings from 'bing' or the BBC, I would like bing and the BBC to fcuk off. The nature of these adverts makes them act like annoying children that follow you everywhere you go and you can't get rid. Fair enough if you get an advert at the top somewhere which you see then as you read topics it is gone... but these buggers bounce along with you and I cannot read what folk are saying and take it in without constantly seeing bing and the BBC almost screaming at me 'Nah, nah, nah, we're still here, nah, nah, nah, look at us!'. I paraphrase of course. Certain types of advertising are just so fcuking annoying that the last thing you'd do is buy shit from them. These come squarely into this category. I also don't like the app'. Much prefer the mobile version, which I can use on the iPod and sit in the living room using while the telly is shite, or Mrs Poz is watching 'Britain's Got Talent' etc. Bet you're glad you asked for feedback now!

chalky1 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Starting to get audio for x-box whilst I'm trying to read the forums, very annoying as nothing appears on the screen so I can't turn it off, just have to stop viewing the forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddieinEK Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Whit's an app ? Short for "appreciation society". When you "download" one, a team of numskulls are imported to your mobile telephonic communucation device where they act at your command! Isn't technology bemusingly quaint yet wonderful and disturbing at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintnextlifetime Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Now , I don't get any adverts on the mobile app but the conventional website is fucked up by the fact that I'll be reading a post and then suddenly , there is a voice over , where a guy is telling me how bad skin irritation is. I'd wager , that , it is only half as irritating as his fucken voice over. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
