.......because theyre driving me mad.
![]() I can't read what people are saying because of these floating ads that keep appearing over what forum members have posted. Sort it out DS. We know you need to make money from ads, but do they have to cover up people's opinions? |

What a ridiculous idea. Sick to death of this aggressive marketing. |

i don't get an X. When I press the thing in the corner, it opens a load more screens. I think it's googleads. i've got a popup blocker on.
sorry friz, you beat me to it! Instead of making people want their product, it just makes people sick of them. |

Thing is, it doesn't work anyway. I have no idea what the ad was for, only trying to find a way to get rid of it.

Sorry to hear about your problems with the adverts. We obviously don't want them to interfere with your browsing so if you could let us know which specific ads are doing so, ad ops will be able to look into it. Screenshots are always useful - upload them to a service like tinypic.com or imageshack.us and stick a link to them in this thread.
I've passed a link to this thread to Richard who may be along to ask further questions shortly. |

i've just noticed that the horizontal banner at the top is reading our posts and putting adverts based on the content.
I just got one for london (User name) and popup blockers! |

Whats the point in having a forum, when the ads are covering the threads? How are you supposed to read them?
Its bad enough when they keep flashing and moving at the sides, without blocking what people are trying to read. Bad idea DS. |

Hiya, we shouldn't have anything like this happening, this sounds like something is broken... We do sometimes have expanding ads that open & close as you mouse over them, but they shouldn't be in the middle of the page!
Could someone please email me a screengrab of this happening (Print Scrn button on your keyboard, usually next to the F12 button, paste into an email & send it on)? Send it on to adops@hf-uk.com & we'll work out what it is. Richard |
