LIV ad is covering up the screen

[evemccc]

The current Titleist sidebars on this forum are driving me potty

 

[rksquire]

This happens periodically on this forum, has done for a long time - nothing really to do with LIV, other than companies appear happy to promote them for cash - more of a Golf Monthly IT problem really. Ad Blocker solves it.

Yes, my comment above was tongue in check

If it’s an advert for LIV everyone gets excited / soils themselves desperate to show how much they hate Liv —- if it’s the same space taken-up on the screen by any another advert (non-Liv), there is almost no response..

Monty Python’s “I really hate the Romans” is about right

I disagree. That is the first LIV advert to block the web site like it did, but there has been others non LIV that have done exactly the same and the response was just the same as the LIV one

Agreed, whenever an annoying advert appears on the website there are complaints...just need to look at the website feedback section

Please explain the Monty Python reference to the Saudi golf league?

The fact that anyone browses the web without an ad blocker is staggering to me. I just couldn't cope.

Relevant to the tongue in cheek - but certainly also more than a kernel of truth - comment about some on here desperate to outdo each other with proving how much they hate LIV

Monty Python Life of Brian…”You have to really hate the Romans.
I do, I really hate them..
How much do you hate them?
A lot”

I had it some time ago but then took it off because some sites don't like it and wont work with it. I put it back on last week because of the issue and so far so good. Maybe the sites that didn't like it have had to adapt and work with it. Anyway, there certainly was a reason why not everyone would use it previously, perhaps not now.

On my Samsung s21, the Titleist and LIV ads keep pausing or crashing Chrome infrequently but enough to make using the site annoying.
They also resize the screen a little which means I have to shrink the screen back again. That's really annoying!

I would hazard a guess that a lot of people don't know it's an option.

Additionally, any ad blocker worth its salt can be turned off for select websites. It's not an all-or-nothing situation.

I generally use my office PC, and we aren't allowed to add anything without permission.

And I don't think my wish to access the GM Forum is a suitable reason

Would you please stop desperately trolling the forums any time you feel like playing the poor LIV victim. At least stick to the LIV thread. This thread was about an advertisement, that just so happened to be about LIV. It is rare that such an ad makes the website unusable, but this particular one did. That is why people were frustrated. When it has happened in the past, users have been equally frustrated, regardless of the ad.

If the ad was just like any other ad on the forum, and users were simply kicking off about it because they don't like seeing anything to do with LIV, then I would find your comments fair.

He was only explaining an earlier comment...

The subject of the ad was irrelevant. (other than the obvious irony) It made the forum unusable for many people...

You can't install browser extensions?

I'd be putting a request to the IT team straight away! Just tell them that accessing the web is a hateful experience without one (which it is)

I have no issue on work websites, as people don't try to advertise via HMRC, Companies House etc

 

[road2ruin]

Anyone (not using ad blockers etc) having issues with the LIV golf advert again? It amazes me that GM have so many issues with various adverts, don't they test it before rolling it out to see how it's going to look?

 

[road2ruin]

The ad should now be gone, please let us know if it shows up again.

It seems to be back?

 

[3offTheTee]

Mel S returns along with The LIV ad.

 

[Voyager EMH]

I can't see who wrote the above. The advert obliterates left side of screen. Could not click on Like or Reply either - same problem to right of screen.

What a pain!
