Unwanted gransnet videos.

I had some strange message yesterday about gold coins, but it soon disappeared.

Well that's not much help is it.

So they know they are 'causing some frustration' 🤔

A great way to keep people off the forums.

I’ve just taken a screenshot of my iPhone screen. It’s 75% covered by an ad and a video clip. To make matters worse the video clip is an old interview with bloody Boris Johnson!

What’s the point in bombarding the site with outdated rubbish?

Report your post, Grannynannywanny. If nothing else it'll make them pay a bit more attention, and you can put a message in with your report.

I’ll do that Wheniwasyourage

There isn't an X on the video which appears in the middle of the page (laptop). The one at the bottom right closes when you click the X, but comes back when you go on to another thread.

I click the x on the small add in the RH corner and it disappears, to be replaced by another one. (not at this moment)There is no x on the large centre screen one, and they are becoming more and more intrusive, particularly the one about an exhibition at the RA.

I find sometimes the X will close the ads but not so at other times. The latest video clip to pop up across my screen is “Activities and tips to survive lockdown”

Seriously??

Nope I’m on iPad haven’t seen them

What on earth is the benefit in having out-of-date adverts/features? I just don't understand why you, GNHQ, are determined to keep pushing this new format of advertising when it's plainly irritating and counter-productive? If you have a marketing company advising you I'd give them the boot.

LillyGransnet - Can you please remove the videos of men and women strutting about in very colourful underwear. I am finding it quite offensive. If you remove it it just reappears straight away

It's still on!!

I can close the ad in the middle of the thread by clicking on the "X" but it leaves a place holder the same size as the ad, so there's not much point.

This has only just started happening to me, the pop up video is driving me mad, please GN get rid of them!

There isn’t an axon the larger one, on my iPad. I agree the ads are infuriating, more so, the video ones…

So now for a good few weeks I have also had these invasive awful videos right in the middle of the posts plus a smaller one at the bottom They are awful and make it very unpleasant to view the posts
