Incredibly annoying drop-down ad !
Discussion
Logged on to PH this morning and had the 3g Sing it Kitty advert drop straight down onto my screen three times blocking out the PH site totally. Just come on here to moan about it before I have a look at the forums and guessing it will do it again. How intrusive and annoying is that !

So I would have to ask then, how would you feel if you got an indicator beside your name saying that you have ad's blocked? Why should Haymarket give you a service when they have no option to make any income from you? The more people block the bigger the ads will get. 'Takeover' or full site branding are worth a fair bit of money. Users such as you are little more than leeches to Haymarket's goodwill.
MissChief, the problem is not advertising, its the way they drop down to cover the entire screen. This happened again this morning when I was logging in. Santander dropped down and stopped me typing, filling the whole screen. This type of advertising is intrusive to the extreme and puts me off the company because its so bloody annoying. Santander should have ads at the top or side of the page and should stay there not cover the screen ! eybic said:
I do understand how frustrating it can be to have the screen taken over by an advert but they are a necessary evil to help pay for the running of the site.

I'm sorry but its not a necessary evil. The Sky ad I'm looking at now as I type is perfectly ok. Ads like the Sky ad pays the bills. It is not dropping down and covering the screen and its not flashing at me annoyingly. No-one minds this type of ad. Judging by the response of this thread, its obvious that no-one likes them and they wind people up. End of trial ?Nathan
