bjszed Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 The last few days when looking at a thread, there are ads covering the post, not above or to the side but directly on top so you cant read the post. Maybe it's my computer but I'm not getting that on any other sites ? Anyone else getting this ? Quote
Enzo Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Yes , I get that as well. An add covering parts of the text. Annoying. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted October 20, 2018 Administrators Posted October 20, 2018 Is it 1 particular type of ad? Can you take a screenshot of what you're seeing? @Enzo I've added you to donating members group. I don't think anyone has donated as much as you have! Donating members don't get ads. Quote
Cozza Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Yep, I get all different ads over the top of the text so I can’t read the the text behind. ive had it for a while, maybe since the software upgrade? Quote
Riceburner Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Me too, it’s different types of ads some small, some large. theremm 1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted October 20, 2018 Administrators Posted October 20, 2018 Hmm well that's annoying I'll have a look at the settings. Quote

OdinZ Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Gents you should be able to press/click the "x" at the top of the ad.....i get this issue on pc when on gumtree sometimes. Quote
24 Dat Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) Hi @gav240z here is a screen shot , you can't even see the x to close the add, btw who chooses the adds we see? Edited October 21, 2018 by 24 Dat OdinZ 1 Quote
24 Dat Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 these adds happen when you are not logged in and looking at the forum Quote
C.A.R. Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Personally I've found the Penis Enhancement Therapy and Meet Local MILF's advertising banners to be quite beneficial. PB260Z, NoLongerHere, CBR Jeff and 1 other 1 3 Quote
theremm Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Yeah i get the same as well. No 'x' to close the ads either Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted October 21, 2018 Administrators Posted October 21, 2018 Hey guys, What web browsers are you using? I'm not seeing this problem with Google Chrome on a MacBook Pro. I'm interested in your web browser and potentially version of it also? Might be good to know if you're on iOS, Android, Macbook or PC? Quote
24 Dat Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 If i'm signed in not a problem i don't see them at all (probably as i'm a donating member ) but if just checking out the website, i use google chrome, these ads are all over the place. @gav240z why not trying completely logging out of google (not sure if you can do that) and then taking a look Quote
bjszed Posted October 21, 2018 Author Posted October 21, 2018 I use Microsoft edge. Latest version. Computer updates regularly. I get them signed in or not. I will check if they come up if I use internet explorer. Quote
bjszed Posted October 21, 2018 Author Posted October 21, 2018 Don't have the issue today. It doesn't happen every time. And only the last week or so. Quote
cracker Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 chrome on ios mobile is a problem, chrome on mac os not a problem for me. fyi Quote

It doesn't happen every time. And only the last week or so. I actually suspect it's related to Google AdSense not so much the forum software. I noticed a similar problem with some Gumtree listings the other day. 15 minutes ago, cracker said: chrome on ios mobile is a problem, chrome on mac os not a problem for me. fyi Thanks, going to be tricky to test that, since I don't have an iOS device handy. If this is still happening, please let me know? PS: Can you guys please try clearing cache and cookies also? When I upgraded the website I had to flush the local server cache to clear all the template files. However your local browsers may still be caching the older versions of a template / files and this may also be a factor here. Quote
Cozza Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Anyone know how to clear cache and cookies on an iPhone. sorry, I’m a dinosaur. Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted October 22, 2018 Moderators Posted October 22, 2018 Hi As far as I know, you can only do that by clearing the history. see the image, yes that is iPad but the iPhone is the same browser Quote

cracker Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Cache cleared, problem apparently solved (chrome ios) Quote
24 Dat Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 i just had a look through the forum at various threads before i signed in to post this, and no adds across the posts like the last few weeks. Looks like problem has been fixed Quote
