Much as I get the fact a "free" needs ad revenue, I'm not surprised I read of so many people using ad-blockers as this bloody thing just keeps appearing.

What a pain in the arse this is.

Wonder if it will take as long to fix as when that EE ad' was locking browsers up...

Logged on this morning to find the same thing when viewing via iPhone. More often than not I can't actually navigate around the forum thanks to an advert for a car I really, really don't want biggrin

Even when I can see the links at the top of the page on my phone, somehow the ad still stops me clicking on them. Clicking on threads works fine so it's not a problem with the whole page.

Just install adblock. If you want to do the decent thing to help sites support themselves then do as I do - unblock ads on sites that only allow unintrusive ads. Site owners will eventually get the message and start creating tougher guidelines for their advertisers. I've been a designer for over 20 years and made more than enough web ads in my time to know that the process of communication between advertiser, designer and publisher is not so difficult as to prevent effective advertising being created which doesn't turn people off sites or make them resort to ad-blocking.

Think Dacia are probably wasting their money here anyway.

It went away and now it's back. I bit like a parental timer - it's time to go and do something useful today.

Anyone from PH bothered with this? The iPhone is the o my device I currently use without an ad blocker.

The stupid advert is back.

Hi funkyrobot,

Thought this ad had disappeared.. What page(s) in the forums are you on when this advert appeared?

Thanks
