Adverts

Is anybody else getting a lot more adverts when they use the forum, or is it just my phone or network?

The last few weeks, I’ve been getting full page adverts when I go on to the forum, some of which are hard to remove, and when I manage to get rid of it, I get a second quarter or half page advert.

The adverts on this site do my head in. The ones around the borders are bad enough but the ones that constantly pop up between topics are maddening. I was getting daily adverts from dating agencies of various types that were inappropriate and when I looked into it it said that it was because I rejected the targeted advert option on the cookies which then left me open to get all sorts of random adverts. There is a triangle in the advert which when you click on it gives you an option to send feed back to Google which I did every time one popped up, sometimes several of the same ad on the same page, and for now the 'inappropriate ones have ceased. I understand that a certain amount of advertising is required to fund the running of the site but I don't have the same amount of intrusive adverts on any other site I visit.

If you look above this topic at the top of the page, Forum help you will find the last page is full of complaints about ads and James was going to do something about it with Mine being the last comment in April last year. it's a dam nuisance
