azda Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 I'm now having serious issues on The MacBook due to ads popping up in every page i click, when i scroll The pointer over "activity button" it doesn't highlight it and so can't look through The latest posts. Yes, i cleared cookies etc but these are Are becoming a nuisance and rendering The forum very difficult and problematic due to these. I have 2 large ads down the left and right of my screen and can only see The middle...... Can we please STOP with the ads, its getting bloody annoying now I've had to post this on my ipad as i can't click The link for this specific topic on The MacBook Quote

azda Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) I have ads across my iPad and macbook, it's more serious on The mac because they take up 3/4 of The damn page down The left and right Hand side of The screen, now trying to submit a reply on The mac just isn't working. These ads Are a f*****g problem. I was trying to post a screenshot and can't submit, i tried a PM to You with The screenshot and can't submit. Can You PM me an email address so i can at least Show You what's going on, god help us all when The ads are Switched on ? This update is obviously spamming us Edited September 21, 2016 by azda Quote
Nordle11 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 There's not a lot I can do. I just think the update needs to be done, but sometimes there are things that stop working unless you have a certain version of something installed and if not then upgrade that before doing the update blah blah, so I'd rather leave the forum updates to Chris.

IanB Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Pleased to say I am having no problems whatsoever. Strange how its only affecting some and not others. Quote
Nordle11 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 @azda have you upgraded both your mac/ipad to the newest iOS yet? iOS 10 I think it is. Quote
azda Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 The ipad says it's up to date and The mac is installing safari 10.0 as we speak Quote
Nordle11 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 If it's doing it now then shouldn't be this. I was actually thinking that it's because of the upgrade that it's a problem, because I've not upgraded my ipad but I don't get any ads.. But I guess not. Just thinking out loud. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 If you imagine the ads are still there Dave and scroll above or below or alternatively what you can see will still let you post. With adblock i still have to work around the adds......if that makes sense Quote
azda Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 I still have ads on my ipad and still can't submit to this thread from the Mac. This problem never existed previously when using either of those, so IMO the problem must be down to the forum software if it's recently been upgraded. This has only just appeared on the MacBook today along with not being able to submit replies Quote

Can't explain that. All I know is that my PC on Windows 10, is 100% immune with ad block plus installed. On my Nexus 7 (Android v6 M) tablet, I don't have any ad block installed, but have no problem whatsoever. Can't explain the natural immunity here either. I posted an ad which appeared on my Sony Xperia M4 phone previously, and was going to ad block for android on it, but am running out of space. I will get an SD card, do it then and report back. Quote

I click the X and report it, but then if I go to another thread they just pop up again, the take roughly 50% of the screen and reading content is almost impossible unless I scroll through each line after I've read it....

There's been no forum updates in a while, but this could also be the problem, if there are sneaky ads which have figured a way to leech into the site then the forum providers will have released a patch, it could just be that the patch hasn't been done yet.

azda Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Matt is it possible you can PM me your email address so I can send you the screenshot of what i'm getting on my mac? Quote

If you scroll above the add or below alternatively the submit or any other button part of it outside the add is a lighter colour if you put your coursor over it. Then it will work as normal. Alternatively smash the computer up and start again as i nearly did Quote

The phone does as well, Matt, but I'm getting ads on there. Somewhat inexplicable at this moment in time. Quote
azda Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Yes I tried the scrolling scenario, I can read 1 line then scroll to the next, but I'd prefer to read the whole post without doing it read scroll read, also submit reply doesn't work on the Mac Quote

Very strange, the problem with things like this is that it also stops people from reporting that they're having problems because they can't post. Chris has mail so hopefully he can get to the bottom of it. Quote
