That's not the one that I posted The one that I posted is a second banner ad underneath It just popped up again. Here you can see two layers of banner ads; the gray box over top, and the black banner under it Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Yesterday I got that black banner that wouldn't close but it was a political ad for a republican candidate. If we're going to be subjected to political ads, can we at least get some variety in the candidates? Quote Link to comment

admo Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Appreciate you looking into stuff @BigRedMax Not a huge deal, but on mobile if I am on HB and listening to Pandora, Shazaam, or a Music playlist on my phone, there are ads that shut down those running apps. Not like getting muted, but actually shutting them down to play the spoken word ads on HB. It's happening last two weeks. Frustrating. A separate issue, from desktop, sometimes an ad (at the bottom) will stop me in the middle of typing a reply for the ad to play first. I don't know which ads because I just roll with it. But whatever ads that do that, it's pretty crummy. Wondering if others run across this? Quote Link to comment
BigRedMax Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 There has been a problem with sound on ads lately. If you can post click through URLs I can post them to our ad ops to get them blocked. One is Adobe. 1 Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 The Kohl's add is back. The one you can't wack-a-mole closed. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Was reading a thread and a new post was made, went to click the "Show New Post" pop-up but got the double layer banner. Closed the gray one, but this one wouldn't close Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 This is the political one that won't close Quote Link to comment
BigRedMax Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 We are going to revert back to our previous ad agency. It may take a few days to implement. 1 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 @BigRedMax I think there's a deceptive footer ad position that keeps deploying the entire width of the screen but the ad itself only takes up a small portion of it. Image attached. The 'X' to close the ad is all the way off to the right just below the schedule but as you can see the ad itself is tiny. This is causing some issues with the footer notifications and moderator tools e.g. I tried to select and move a post the other day but couldn't figure out why the the pop up admin tools that appear at the bottom of the board weren't clickable. It wasn't until several minutes later that I noticed the small X off to the side. So it's almost as if the position is firing sometimes without an ad. The same applied to a thread I was reading. A notification at the bottom of the page showed that there was a new reply. I tried to click it but it wouldn't work until I hit the small 'X' off to the side. Quote Link to comment
BigRedMax Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I am in the process of switching ad providers. Should be done before the weekend. Quote Link to comment
