Huge Advert!

[Acebassmusic]

Over the last week or so I've noticed an advert for Elixir strings comes up 4 times the size of every other advert. I'm using Internet Explorer / Win 10 on a PC and don't seem to have issues anywhere else. No big problem, just thought I'd let the mods know :-)

Thanks. Yeah I’ve raised this with them but they denied it - will get in to them again. Cheers

That took you a full 2 mins to reply....stop dragging your heels man!  Thanks for the reply

It's normal size here whenever it appears.

Could just be Internet Explorer actually - @Acebassmusic Can you try it on another browser? Let’s see if we can narrow it down.

People use internet explorer?

Only so they don't have to use Edge.

Or Netscape Navigator

[Acebassmusic]

Just tried it on Google and it was half the size compared to IE. Thanks.

IE 11 definitely shows this ad and others don't. Are the ads non-turnoffable / governed from above on the hosting package or something?

Yeah, if you can avoid it then stop using IE, it's godawful. Chrome / Firefox are so much better / secure. Edge is better than IE but you're still better off with the other 2.

I’m getting this coming up in Safari on IOS. Takes up almost the whole screen and seems to stay put when i scroll down, like its on a  layer behind the posts.

Well the elixir one doesn't seem so bad anymore

We're working on it I promise!  But waiting to hear back and unless they're slow replying I don't want to take it offline so that they can debug it.

After a short settling in period we should start to see much more relevant ads too.  More inline with what the site is actually about, or in cases even the particular thread

So as someone who pays for membership for selling items on this forum, how can we setup a way to remove adverts as part of our subscription too? 😉👌🏻

They won't be anywhere near this offensive once ducks are in a line

Adverts should be helpful, not annoying.  That's what we're working towards!

I saw that thanks Ped, but not telling us a great deal tbh.  What's the approx timeline do you think, as the UE is not great atm.

Put it this way, if it’s not right within a week then we’ll revert back. Hoping to hear back from the company today. They’re pretty good so don’t anticipate it taking long.

Massive ad issue here, one not hit on before, although I am suffering the annoying ones at the bottom too which make the site extremely annoying to use on a mobile.

Check out this big B**ger though!

It totally mess up all down the page too...

I'm using Chrome on a mac, pretty much up to date too, for a change...

Still rather not see any when I'm paying for the privilege for being a member of a forum and not receiving any benefits really. 

Sure, "once ducks are in a line" I won't be bombarded with ads in my face but generally adverts aren't helpful, especially when you don't want to buy anything 😂
