Annoying ad!

[Golfmmad]

Can anyone help please.

I have this most annoying ad behind my screen making the forum page smaller. I can't get rid of it, it's on all the time.
I do have adblocker
Thanks.

Never have a problem. Ublock origin is one of the best.

Been using Ublock Origin for years on laptop and have never had any adverts or banners on this site. Sorry mate but can't help you.

I'm on an android phone, does that make a difference?

Probably! Could well be a case of tracking the culprit app down by loading 1 app at a time to see what is generating it. It might even be GM app itself!

I get this too. It's not an app, it's on the browser.

I've got an iPhone and its the same, pain in the bum on my phone but no issues on my work laptop.

I get it too, you can see it doing something behind the forum. Out of interest I tried tapping on it to try and find out who might be responsible, and it doesn't bring up anything - just pauses the video.

So what's the point of an advert that you can't read or respond to?

…and it’s on my iPad…

I can’t actually see what it’s advertising, so don’t really understand the point. Most of the invasive adverts on here over the years have done enough to put me off whatever product they’re advertising. This one is annoying me, as it keeps catching my eye but at least the forum is still usable.

I have it on my Mac too, but I can click on the border and open the ad....its for Yves St lauren make up. Odd why it appears on this forum but on nothing else I browse on the net.

You mean you don’t wear any foundation ?

Irritatingly the Ad job done…it has YSL in my head for Mrs Christmas pressie.

 

[Golfmmad]

Thanks for all replies guys.
At least I'm not the only one which is reassuring. ?

Well. For the first time ever, I've just logged in on my Android phone.

The site is as clean as a whistle, no sign of any banners or ads. Using Duck Duck Go browser and Ublock Origin. Works for me

Use DuckDuckgo as your browser and you can stop all these annoying intrusions while also screening your data from theft.

I work for a competitor, and we just finished a month worth pushing foundation. Not once did golf monthly pop up in the discussions.

At least this time the ad let’s us use the forum as normal. A few months ago it was either TM or Callaway which didn’t even let me click or comment in the forums.

Based on several replies above ...

I too had it on my Android tablet, even though I use Duck Duck Go. Very irritating - especially as I couldn't see what it was actually advertising. However, installed Adbloc Plus, then rebooted the tablet. It's gone.
