They're driving me nuts ! Come on HQ, sort it out please and yes, agree with felice re the epilepsy concerns - they could be dangerous angry

I get them on my iPad. Continuously. They are a bluddy nuisance.

I don't get them on the PC but I do on a Samsung tablet.

A while ago I complained about the adverts at the top of the page, one for Gransnet itself and another commercial one which block the message box but nothing was done. Another appears on the right hand side.
Now pop up, noisy adverts appear every few seconds on the bottom right of the page covering a portion of the page.

Adblockers are no use whatsoever and just mess up everything else.

Help, please, GNHQ

I don’t get any ads at all on my iPad, but I do on the PC.

The last one I had was full of flashing lights quite dangerous if you have epilepsy, I could not find a way to get rid of it.
I do not have epilepsy but x hubby does so I know the risks.

There's a thread about these new flying video ads already but it's a site construction problem. My guess is it was not tested properly. What's the point of ads that block the forums? If your traffic drops because of them your advertising revenue will drop. Can you get them under control please? Seems to be a desktop problem.
