Banner Ads making forum unuseable

[Grant85]

I have no problem with ads, completely appreciate their requirement - but these Taylor Made GAPR ads are making the forum impossible to use.

They come up in front of the forum content, but I haven't yet found away to minimise or remove them and they cover some of buttons such as new thread or post.

Usually with these types of ads you have a wee cross that you can press to delete it. But I haven't found it and keep clicking on the TM website about a dozen times.

Not helping my view of TM or the forum.

See theread in Website Feedback sub-forum. It is horrendous though. Get the need for the advert, but an option to minimise or close the advert would be much appreciated.

It is pretty much unusable like this, i tried to reply to the other read on website feedback but kept on taking me to taylormade advert.
Very annoying.

For sale, SLDR Driver and Burner Plus Irons. Callaway ads are less annoying that this!

A thousand times this. When trying to quote you to make this reply, I had to refresh the page and quickly scroll down and hit Reply before the adverts had a chance to load. Once they've loaded they're the bloody immovable object.

Read this earlier on my ipad and thought what is he on about. Now on me iphone and i think the op has undersold the problem. It takes stupid to another level. May well be a teething problem that needs looking at asap. The forum change was designed to turn folk on. Not off.

Following a forum users kind advice I installed Lionz ad blocker. It completely solves the problem. I agree though, before installing it, the forum was unusable when viewing on a phone. The moving ads just caused it reload over and over again.

I never had an ad blocker until this stupid GAPR ad. Like the OP I had no issue at all with the adverts in banners etc and have clicked on them when found interest, but whoever designed the GAPR ad needs their head read.

 

[Grant85]

Looks like they have been taken down, so thank for the action.

I'll keep my TM clubs for now...

Once they've loaded they're the bloody immovable object.

Proceed under rule 24.2 and get free relief.

I have had to download adblocker.

 

[jim8flog]

What ad?

 

[need_my_wedge]

It's back today........ Most useless ad ever, covers the entire screen and takes you to Taylormade on every click, whichever thread you try and click on.

Yes, I can use an ad blocker, but ironically, that also disables the active post button, preventing any comment posts.

I physically cannot use the forum on my laptop.... On my phone now to try and find a solution. How do you turn the damn add off? I cannot click on any part of the forum .

Last time I downloaded AdBlock Plus due to other posts on the forum.

Has solved the problem completely and as a plus I now longer get adverts when watching youtube(I had almost stopped watching that before, due to adverts, but they are gone as well).

Had no problems with the adblock plus setup on PC or laptop

 

[Orikoru]

Yes, the bloody GAPR advert is back and we still can't close it. Get rid!

 

[louise_a]

There is a type of ad thismorning that I haven't seen before, it covers the sides of the screen, so stays when you scroll down

 

[Deleted member 18121]

I've given up for today.... Forum is completely unusable. How long until the ad goes?

 

[BTatHome]

Using my phone, and whilst I can see it on the top and to the side, it doesn't stop me using the site.

.... although it doesn't seem to screw up some of the screen formatting.

 

[Blakey]

same for me, making the forum pretty much unusable.
