Puma pop-up

[rudebhoy]

Am abroad for a few days. Just logged on here and am getting a pop-up for Puma Golf which is making the forum unusable. iPhone and Chrome. Anyone else suffering with this?

Yeah I just had it too, but it's disappeared at the moment.

 

[rudebhoy]

It’s back. It’s seems to cover the whole page, so no matter where you click, it takes you to the Puma website. Very annoying.

Yes it's actually intermittent for me at the moment.

 

[Crazyface]

Yup. Frustrating

First time I've ever seen this kind of thing on the forum (I know there's been previous ads like this but never experienced it) Its a bit poor really. Device 'back' button and re-access the page seems to clear it temporarily

Maybe I should get properly fitted for the forum

Does no one at GM test things before pushing out an advertisement?

Given the frequency with which this happens I think the answer is a clear no.

Its been steadily increasing in frequency over this week and now is almost constant. Tips on how to use the forum on android now pls?

Just started getting it now..
Messes up 5he forum page .
Guess who won't be buying anything Puma any time soon.
Advert failed!

Disappointed in the lack of input from GM into this thread. Surely we can't infer they're actually happy with the situation!

I’ve asked for this to be looked at, it seems ok for me now but was a nightmare when I was away on my mobile and IPad.

 

[SHaines]

Thanlks for calling this issue out! Sorry for the delayed response, but we are investigating now.

Puma ad should no longer be an issue and measures have been put in place to never use that the ad format again as it causes problems. Thanks to everyone who reported the issue.

Ads are supposed to follow a certain criteria given to them regarding the location, and size. Sometimes the ad services mess up and push something that is outside of the criteria into place. We can test all day long, but we can't account for other people's actions.

Great news, I'll let you know if it reoccurs

Good to know what was behind it, thanks

@CParsons It hasn't happened since you posted, so far so good
