Solstice 71 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just recently I've started to get pop up ads appearing that obscure content, these appear to be placed through google and there is an option to delete, when you do this the ad disappears but I can still not read the obscured content, only happens on TLF, any ideas?

Bibs 11,096 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks. I was dicking around with the ads yesterday so probably broke something.

ramjet 1,085 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I had the same thing the other day though not on TLF. I got it on a newspaper website. Can't remember which one. Could this be something that Google have done? Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit. Opinions are like armpits.

I bought a cheapo Android phone to control/view the CCTV I installed in my Mum's house. Worked fine for a month or so, then started popping up random ads all over the place. Very annoying when I was using it as a sat nav to compare with my current phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solstice 71 Posted March 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I'm getting random ads (world cup tickets? No thanks!) obscuring posts again, any ideas where they are coming from? It doesn't happen on any other sites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mik 375 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 As above - I have had problems today too, on both iPhone and android tablet. Issues restricted to this site only. Getting a bit frustrating now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bibs 11,096 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Sorry, the TLF Emergency Response Team was down the pub last night. We'll look into it when we're back at work next week, time allowing It's not top of the list as paying £2/month stops it and benefits the site and yourself, but I will look at the code and see why the ads are obscuring posts as they aren't meant to. We have just signed a new £7k over 24 months hardware deal for the server btw, as I mentioned before the internet isn't free which is why free accounts have to view a lot of ads. Paid members see the sponsor ads only, all of which are Lotus specific so useful, as opposed to the Google ads which are based on your internet history. 2 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

LotusLeftLotusRight 1,224 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'm getting this issue now on my iPhone. It wasn't happening when this thread was running last month. It doesn't seem to affect my iPad or laptop though. Touch wood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LotusLeftLotusRight 1,224 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Spoke too soon. Getting the obscuring ads on my iPad now as well. Touching wood doesn’t work after all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LotusLeftLotusRight 1,224 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 And now my laptop's gone the same way (either using Chrome or Internet Explorer), so all my devices (iPhone, iPad & laptop) are now hampered with ads obscuring typically 3 posts per page. I know I am only on Basic Account terms and have no issue with seeing the ads between posts, but surely @Bibs something must be awry if people's posts cannot be read? Do I need to change some settings for example? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LotusLeftLotusRight 1,224 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 6 months on and I'm still getting this issue on a daily basis. Here's a screenshot example from today.
