Annoying advert

[Suby2]

Is anyone else getting a large pop up Godzilla advert which gets in the way???

 

[Brownmare]

Yes, it will put me off using the forum if it carries on

 

[chattygoneon3]

Yes , is driving me mad !

 

[OlderNotWiser]

Me too, can’t even see what i’m typing as my reply!! 😡

 

[meleeka]

I installed an ad blocker as recommend on another thread and it’s worked (Safari)

 

[Snitch]

Yep.

 

[little_critter]

I couldn’t navigate just now as it was right over the menu options. Gah, it’s just done it again and it’s also over the reply screen so I can’t see what I’m typing now.
I had to close H&h, go back in and navigate to the tack room before the bloomin thing popped up.

There is a thread reporting it in Feedback, admin took notice last time. I assume that they don't actually want to put people off using the site - that would be counter-productive!

 

[Gloi]

Yep, can't get rid of the damn thing, can't use the site properly. Reloading page gets rid of it for a few seconds. Leaving the site now, too much hassle.

Adblock or similar is your friend. Post on the forum feedback thread guys!

 

[Shay]

Me too - and requested admin resolve. Its moved from the to to the side now....

And I absolutely will not now go and see the movie in protest (small beans I am sure but if it gets back to advertisers that the oppresive approach is counter productive they will stop.) Same way as I immeediately cancel donations to any charity whose chuggers accost me in the street.

I never felt I needed adblocker but I do now
Goodness knows what I've typed, I can't see most of it

 

[Red-1]

I can see to type the reply, but it is at both sides, in the area where I need to see to navigate, so I can't see who has started threads or which one have replied to.

Help, where do I find ad blocker?

ETA - you may also want to consider turning off java for this site.

 

[scats]

I turn java off for coming on here on my iPad. Otherwise I can’t even type anything as it’s that slow. It does mean I have to go and turn it back on if I want to watch videos though, which is a pain.

 

[Bernster]

Ad blocker for the win!

 

[Frumpoon]

Sadly not compatible with my ipad
How do I turn off java.

 

[Farmer Chalk]

Totally agree.... and whoever redesigned the platform also needs speaking to... the whole process of trying to insert photos and text is incredibly poor!

The advert is horrendous and hugely intrusive!

 

[cblover]

Go into settings on your iPad and down to safari. Find advanced setting, go into that and you’ll see an option to turn JavaScript off. Turn it off to read and post on here but you’ll need to turn it back on for videos etc. I’ve just done it now.

Go into settings and then whatever browser you use to view the forum (I use safari), select that, then go to advanced and then you’ll see the option for java script. Just turn it off.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Try this one. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/adguard-adblock-privacy/id1047223162?mt=8

Turned off java, what does it actually do anyway, Im not tech savvy?

 

[Tiddlypom]

I run two browsers on my iPad, safari with JavaScript disabled for HHO and Chrome with Javascript enabled for everything else. Go to settings and you can tweak it for the individual browser.

 

[Ambers Echo]

Yep. And another person who boycotts any product or service advertised in an intrusive, irritating way! Why on earth do they think it's a good idea!

 

[D66]

Ive changed to Chrome and its gone. It has only been appearing on HHO though, no other website.
I think Warner Bros pay for the ad.

 

[Berpisc]

Another adblocker here. It just gets ridiculous when you cant move the cursor or type....

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Videos. So ads that have a video element no longer drain all your data. I just have java disabled for HHO as they used to have too many video ads, some of which were hidden at the end of the page so you didn't know they were there until you scrolled down. If I want to watch a youtube video that someone has linked to, I find that I can open it in a new tab and it takes me to the correct video on youtube where java isn't blocked.

My son just put addblocker on myIpad. It’s got rid of it
