All Advertising Questions

[Sothron]

I use current Firefox and when I come to the site and start reading threads I get completely redirected to random sites saying

"Congratulations! You are the (local city I live in) daily winner!"

The only way to get away from the ad is to leave the site completely and come back. Which, I might add, only delays that ad from coming back.

My home and PC are very clean. Never any redirects until a week ago or so. Now both have a redirect one only one link of RealGM. It is only when I click on the link called "Forums." It goes to that daily winner thing.

But, I figured a way around that redirect. If I hover over Forums link and then go to the drop down to the Team or General Discussion link, I don't get the redirect. Evidently, some virus/trojan has either infected RealGM servers or this is a paid advertisement for them. I hope that helps.

Hey, there are new ads I am seeing that actually cover the typing space. It covers some of the options on the postreply so it makes inserting youtubes more difficult. There are ways to go around it, but it is really unappealing. Ads should not spill outside the top corner and the sides, and if they do, their should be a clear way to close them

Are these on the desktop version or on the app? A screenshot would be helpful because I haven't seen any instance where the ad is beyond its borders into the regular site. Thanks!

Okay, so just today there's been an add at the top right of the forums that takes up some space and blocks my view. I don't know if it's just me, or what, but it's annoying.

Here's a picture:



EDIT: I realize it doesn't fit on the screen, you'll just have to open it in a new tab. Sorry.

Have you had this issue repeatedly? It appears as though the box ad is serving multiple times. What browser are you using?

[Jake0890]

Just the day of my post. I was on Google Chrome.

Thanks!

Jake,

Please let us know if the problem persists.

Thanks!

It's already gone now, no worries.

Sorry about posting without investigating further, was kind of a kneejerk reaction.

[Howard Mass]
