mine are all ph links now - the external "buy an iphone for £2.99" ones etc have stopped.

Still got the ads here as well, although they did disappear for about 30 mins for me earlier in the night.

Amongst the PH related ads, I'm currently getting one for The Best of Kim Kardashian Gallery pics and another one telling me that the UK will be bankrupt by 2015 apparently.

At least on the laptop with a smaller screen they're not intrusive but on a bigger screen I could see it would be a bit annoying tbh.

On my iPad now I only get 5 adverts and they are all PH related. I can live with that

Hi Guys and Gals,

Based on your feedback we have now reduced the ads to just one and the rest of the "you may like" bits link back specifically to PH content, you should see this immediately.

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks Nathan but doesn't it embarrass you serving up things like this?

Been happily ad free for some days and tonight ads returned. Minimalist presence but definitely visible. Five minutes tune up with Adblocker all gone again. Just thought an update appropriate.

I can ignore most of them but things like

"Kim Kardashian top shots"

With photo of afore mentioned female with very little clothes on is a little awkward....

I assume that the inordinately long time to login sometimes is a function of this "tailored" campaign BS? Irritating more often than not....

Superb!



There were more ads above but I couldn't fit it all on my screen to take a screenshot.

This was below an article (Harris F Type). Just me or is this the norm?

An advert. 3 more ad links below. 9 Tombola ads followed by google ads.

I do not have any ads currently on PH(praise the Lord!) post getting Adblocker. They came back for a while but fine tuning Adblocker resolved this. It does seem some systems are less easy to defend successfully. Worth a try?

What parameters are you using in adblock to get rid of the adverts?

This seems to pretty much cover it on mine...

Just poped in to ssy that I have read this topic with interest ever since this started and had hoped to see the end of it.

Sadly not.

AdBlocker for one please!

Thanks that blocks the third party adverts but I still get 6 PistonHeads you may like links with a blank space where the advert was. So I still get the annoying pictures but PH get no benefit as there is no advert, I really can't understand why they are continuing with it.
