Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - Teddy The Elite - 02-12-2010
These Tresemme ads and another one about skin care are annoying me GREATLY. I personally would like them removed. Bothering anyone else?
This is now the ad reporting topic. When reporting an ad, please include a screenshot of the offender, and a description of what it does so the admins can contact the ad network about it.
RE: Ads annoying anyone else? - TomGuycott - 02-12-2010
Is it the ad itself that bothers you, or the nature of how it drops down in your face? I hate those ads a lot, and the solution seems like it would be an ad-blocker, but ads generate revenue for websites, so... it's hard to completely shut ads away knowing it'd be financially unsound for the site you support. =/
RE: Ads annoying anyone else? - Dazz - 02-13-2010
Yeah, you need to submit a screenshot for ad removal. As the adverts are based on your location, I don't see all of them.

I see a HALO Legends ad.
RE: Ads annoying anyone else? - Teddy The Elite - 02-13-2010
The Halo one is a new one that's popping up. And the primary reason I want them removed is that I can't go to my other tabs because everytime I go up, it opens it and I can't click anything else until I close out the ad.
I'm supposed to add a picture? I'm sorry, I have NO clue how to do that.

Hit print screen (Print scrn) key on your computer, paste it into paint, save, upload, post.

I don't have this problem. Never have.
(I use Opera's adblock)
RE: Ads annoying anyone else? - TomGuycott - 02-13-2010
That's because Tyvon is a stingy capitalist dog!
<... xD Jokes aside, that one is VERY, VERY annoying. Sure, it's something that was mildly interesting the first time, and honestly I actually did click it, but the nature of its design is solely for pissing you off. Look at where the close button is: upper right corner. If you so much as sweep across the banner for even a moment, the banner pops back out. And it's not a fast-moving ad either, it's framerate is slow, and on my laptop it actually slows my entire computer down with it. It's only a momentary thing, but I keep falling for the trap, and I sweep my mouse over it by accident and it pops right back out.
For the record, I just made it pop out while trying to check new messages. T_T

After I complained about an ad that messed up with the forum loading I never had any problem with any other ad again.
Take a screen of it, TomGuycott. Maybe somebody else have this same problem.
RE: Ads annoying anyone else? - Teddy The Elite - 02-13-2010
This is what I keep seeing. And TomGuy pretty much explained the other half.
EDIT:Nevermind. Can't upload. File too large and computer doesn't like image-hosting sites. :/
RE: Ads annoying anyone else? - Ultimecia - 02-13-2010
Save it on .jpg instead of .bmp, this usually helps
RE: Ads annoying anyone else? - Teddy The Elite - 02-13-2010
Alright. Thanks.
RE: Ads annoying anyone else? - Dazz - 02-13-2010
I'm afraid that people will need to live with these for a while, as we are in the middle of a advertising provider switching discussion - we'll have it sorted by next month though, so don't worry
RE: Ads annoying anyone else? - Teddy The Elite - 02-13-2010
Alright. If it was like, ONE ad that appeared every once in awhile, I wouldn't mind, but it's the fact that it's pretty much EVERY PAGE. But since it'll be fixed, it's ok.
RE: Ads annoying anyone else? - triptych - 02-14-2010
if you have a problem with ads just get a less shitty browser. not that hard
