Web site adverts

[rickg]

Are there different sensitivity levels ( talking about touchscreen tablets) for adverts and other areas of a website?

The current Adidas advert launches if I as much glance at it, but if I want to open a thread I sometimes end up tapping it a couple of times, quite hard before it will open.

Anyone else experience this or is it just me?

Its getting my back up too...
I appreciate that adverts are required but this one doesn't allow me to scroll over it without opening.
Seems to be TaylorMade/Adidas ads that are the main culprits.....
Incredibly annoying!
These kind of adverts reduce my usage of a particular site - I've reduced my viewing of the main GM site drastically as a result. And they reduce the likelihood that I will spend money with those brands too.....

You're not alone Rick.

I'm swiping no differently than I normally do but am constantly having to close a new tab or stop the video from playing. Not really experienced that with any of the other adverts. Sergio can be quite sensitive at times though.

Thanks....... You really do like walking don't you ?

A lot of the adverts are roll over ads, so if you so much as enter the area of the advert it opens,

I am sure the reason my computer runs slowly is because of all the adverts that have to open when I go to most websites.

Yes. The adidas advert is a pain in the backside. Very annoying.

This is similar to what I was experiencing with the Galvin Green advert, if I as much as glanced at the screen it would open, not sure what these adverts will accomplish as the hit rate stats will all be false!
